Comey released the information on Clinton just before the election.  Trump kept Comey in the position from the day he was inaugurated until yesterday; over 110 days. Comey testifies before a Congressional hearing one day and the next day he is fired. He is fired using his release of emails before the election as justification. Apparently the Trump administration did not know about the information being released until this past Monday.  Well that is what is being sold to the citizens.  
This is the same Trump administration that needed 18 days to decide Flynn's Russian connections required his termination.  The same administration who has had two others withdraw their names from appointments   due to unfavorable comments by the public. Meanwhile others in the administration are identified as being look at by investigators.
Whose fooling who about all these things not being connected?
