While most lefties immediately switched from "Comey must go" to "Firing Comey is just like Watergate", Senate Dem boss Schumer decided to take a subtler angle.
"There is little reason to think that Mr. Rosenstein's letter is the true reason that President Trump fired Director Comey," he said. "Why? Because if the administration truly had objections to the way Director Comey handled the Clinton investigation, they would have had them the minute the president got into office, but he didn't fire Director Comey then."
So Schumer's contention is not that President Trump shouldn't have fired Comey, but that he should have fired him right after taking office?
Never mind that the timing linkage is pretty clear. And, despite the media's best spin efforts, it came right after their own outrage over Comey's testimony about Hillary Clinton, not whatever vast conspiracy they pulled out of Mission Impossible movies.
Hillary's husband didn't fire FBI Director Sessions right after taking office either. Even though the supposed basis for that firing emerged from the previous administration. Does Schumer really expect President Trump to go beyond Bill Clinton? And if Trump had fired Comey right away, does anyone seriously believe that in addition to the cries of 'cover-up', the Dems wouldn't also be complaining about a lack of process?
