In May of 2017, the New York Times edi­to­r­i­al board blast­ed Donald Trump for fir­ing James Comey on Tuesday, accus­ing the pres­i­dent of dis­miss­ing the FBI direc­tor for hav­ing infor­ma­tion with “poten­tial­ly ruinous consequences.
The board said the need for a spe­cial pros­e­cu­tor to inves­ti­gate Russian inter­fer­ence with the 2016 elec­tion and the Trump admin­is­tra­tion’s ties to the Kremlin “is plain­er than ever.”

The board wrote:

Mr. Comey was fired because he was lead­ing an active inves­ti­ga­tion that could bring down a pres­i­dent. Though com­pro­mised by his own poor judg­ment, Mr. Comey’s agency has been pur­su­ing ties between the Russian gov­ern­ment and Mr. Trump and his asso­ciates, with poten­tial­ly ruinous con­se­quences for the administration.

The Times added that this is “a tense and uncer­tain time in the nation’s his­to­ry,” and it drew com­par­isons between Trump and Richard Nixon’s infa­mous 1973 Saturday Night Massacre. However, Nixon’s pres­i­den­tial library would like to remind every­one that not even the 36th pres­i­dent fired his FBI director.

The real ques­tion law-abid­ing Americans must ask them­selves is, why is it impos­si­ble to ful­ly inves­ti­gate the 45th President of the United States’ ties to Russia?
