基本上就是两件事：
1、不应绕过DOJ宣布不推荐起诉希拉里
2、不应公布重新调查希拉里邮件门案件
再加上传言FBI和DOJ里的人对这两件事非常不满。很多人认为Comey太政治化，且受到
很多“心腹”的坏的意见干扰。司法部副部长认为，Comey不除，FBI的在议会和公众间
的权威性会大打折扣。
最后，是由司法部副部长主持调查，将结果写成Memo，递给司法部长。司法部长从而建
议总统解雇Comey。总统继而根据司法部意见解雇Comey。
新闻原文：
Rather, Comey had been the subject of a review by the very top of the Trump
Justice Department. Newly confirmed Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein
penned an extensive memo for Attorney General Jeff Sessions outlining
concerns with Comey’s conduct during and after the Clinton email probe.
The memo said “almost everyone agrees that the Director made serious
mistakes.” Rosenstein wrote that he could not defend Comey’s handling of
the end of the investigation, and could not understand “his refusal to
accept the nearly universal judgment that he was mistaken.”
The first count against Comey, according to Rosenstein, was his July 5, 2016
announcement during which he alleged Clinton and her colleagues were “
extremely careless” in handling classified material on her personal email
and server but also said the FBI would not recommend charges.
The memo said Comey was “wrong to usurp” then-Attorney General Loretta
Lynch’s authority.
“It is not the function of the Director to make such an announcement,”
Rosenstein wrote, adding that Comey “at most” should have said the FBI had
finished its investigation and presented findings to prosecutors.
The memo said Comey compounded “the error” by holding a press conference
to “release derogatory information about the subject of a declined criminal
investigation,” suggesting he did so “gratuitously.”
The memo said: “The Director laid out his version of the facts for the news
media as if it were a closing argument, but without a trial.” Rosenstein
called it a “textbook example” of what prosecutors and agents are “taught
not to do.”
The second count against Comey concerned his Oct. 28, 2016 notification to
Congress that the bureau was taking another look at the Clinton case in
light of newly discovered emails. While Comey has said he did not want to
conceal information, Rosenstein said simply refraining from publicizing “
non-public information” would not have been concealment.
He countered Comey’s position by citing numerous former Justice officials
who called the move inappropriate.  
Comey adamantly defended his handling of the case, and that October letter,
at a Senate hearing last week.
As referenced by Rosenstein, he said, “Concealment in my view would have
been catastrophic.”
Clinton herself has continued to criticize Comey, suggesting his
announcement helped tilt the election toward President Trump.
“It makes me mildly nauseous to think that we might have had some impact”
on the election, Comey said at the hearing, standing by his actions.
Rosenstein referenced Comey’s statements since the election in his memo’s
conclusion: “The way the Director handled the conclusion of the email
investigation was wrong. As a result, the FBI is unlikely to regain public
and congressional trust until it has a Director who understands the gravity
of the mistakes and pledges never to repeat them. Having refused to admit
his errors, the Director cannot be expected to implement the necessary
corrective actions.”
The memo set off a quick chain reaction all the way up to the White House.
Sessions told Trump that a “fresh start” is needed, attaching the
Rosenstein memo and recommending Comey’s removal.
Trump cited that recommendation in his letter to Comey, informing him he is
“hereby terminated and removed from office, effective immediately.”
Former FBI spokesperson John Iannarelli told Fox News he thinks Comey got “
bad counsel from those close to him,” and that in the end, Comey was
perceived as “too political.”
