Anxious to see FBI Director James Comey retire? According to the man himself, you're going to have to wait:
The FBI director has no plans to leave the post before the end of his 10-year term. "You're stuck with me for about 6 1/2 years," James Comey said at a cyber conference in Boston on Wednesday, urging conference organizers to invite him to speak again.
In recent days, NPR and other news outlets have reported Comey pressed the Justice Department without success to issue a public denial of President Trump's tweet that the FBI and President Barack Obama wiretapped his phones at Trump Tower. White House press secretary Sean Spicer said this week that Trump still has confidence in Comey's ability to lead the FBI. Comey, who served as deputy U.S. attorney general under President George W. Bush and who was named FBI director by Obama, has demonstrated a nearly unique ability to draw critics from both ends of the political spectrum.
Comprehensive coverage of the Comey saga.

His main foul-up with H's email case is announcing it was being re-opened in connection with Weiner's laptop WITHOUT doing a cursory examination of possible H-related classified info breaches.
It was slightly more subtle than that. He send a letter to Congress stating he was amending his earlier congressional testimony which claimed the Clinton investigation was closed. I would be surprised if he were unaware of the effect that the letter would have. My suspicion is that he did this as payback for Obama administration interference in his investigation of Clinton earlier in 2015 and 2016. Late October right before a major election is a difficult time to fire an FBI director.

My suspicion is that
Thank you for sharing. My suspicion is that both Comey and Hillary are Lizard people, as sensed by great retired Football (soccer, to you idiot Americans) player, David Icke! In fact more people in America believe in lizard people than believe in illegal immigrants! https://www.theatlantic.com/national/archive/2013/04/12-million-americans-believe-lizard-people-run-our-country/316706/ [theatlantic.com]
(quick calculation: Um, possibly 11 million illegal aliens, 12 millions who believe in lizard people; subtract the aliens who are actually aliens, and we are left with a positive one million Americans, who may or may not have voted for Trump or actually be citizens, but you can't argue with numbers.)

I notice that you don't actually disagree with me. Obviously, you are insinuating I'm wrong, but with absolutely no attempt to demonstrate that I'm wrong. Perhaps you have an alternate explanation for Comey's actions?
