  Trump himself said he fired him because of the "Russian thing", and the circumstances leading up to his dismissal (seeking his personal loyalty, asking him to lay off Flynn) leave little doubt.  
  
  Earlier  efforts to say Trump fired him on the deputy AG's recommendation were denied by the deputy AG. 
  
  Saying Trump fired Comey because he was unfair to Clinton during the election is just plain laughable.
