James Comey the clown is really delusional, but you already knew that. The Hillary Clinton mafia hates Comey about as much as they hate Trump or middle America. But that doesn’t matter to nutter Comey who thinks if Hillary Clinton would have won in 2016, he wouldn’t have been been fired. I hate to break it to Comey the Clown. Hillary Clinton would have fired your ass on Day 1, like what Trump should have done.

A thought experiment via Mediaite. If the fateful late October letter from Comey announcing that Emailgate had been reopened hadn’t pushed Trump over the top, would President Clinton have kept him on as director? (Particularly since he cleared her in a second letter a few days later.) Would it have depended on how much damage the letter ended up doing on Election Day? That is, if her team was projecting her to win ~300 electoral votes and she’d won that many, she might have concluded “no harm, no foul” on the letter. If she underperformed and won a surprisingly tight race with ~270 EVs, maybe she wouldn’t have let it go. In that case, there’d be evidence that Comey’s unorthodox public disclosure of the FBI’s thinking on Emailgate really had cost her votes, some legitimacy, and — almost — the presidency. Maybe she’d have dropped the axe, offering the same reasoning Rod Rosenstein did in his memo to Trump in the days before Comey was actually fired, that public faith in the Bureau’s apolitical nature had been shaken. Angry Democrats would have been howling for his head, furious that he’d almost cost her, and them, the election. Possibly she would have handed it to them.
But maybe she would have seen past that. It seems undeniable that his eleventh-hour letter hurt her, whether or not it was actually decisive. But imagine a world in which he doesn’t send that letter. *Maybe* she wins the election. Or maybe things go a little differently.
