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.

Some analysis shows it had a definte effect for e.g
How scientific is that analysis, really? How can you objectively determine the reason someone voting for Candidate X or the reason someone didn't vote? If you ask people who they're going to vote for, you later verify the result of the election to a reasonable degree. Any polls which ask questions which can't later be objectively verified to see how many people were lying or simply wrong when answering the questions are unscientific. Frankly, I'm tired of seeing of people citing this trash.
But that's irrelevant to this. What you linked to is arguably worse, and can be trivially dismissed by saying that correlation is not causation. There is no real scientific evidence presented for their case and I doubt there will ever be any.
