FBI director James Comey testified he felt "mildly nauseous" that he may have helped get Trump elected when he reopened the probe into Hillary Clinton right at the tail end of the election. Donald Trump then did what any self respecting President would do, he fired James Comey. The craziest part is that Comey learned of the firing not from the letter that's been making the rounds, but through a television in the background as he spoke to some FBI colleagues. As he spoke was speaking to a few FBI employees in LA a news reports flashed on a television saying that James Comey had been fired as FBI director, which he believed to be a prank. The letter from Trump on Comey's firing had not reached the FBI offices yet and Comey was subsequently told of the firing soon after. President Trump is not shy about firing anybody as we have seen through his first 100+ days of office. Some of the firings were necessary but some, like Comey, came quickly. So why exactly did Trump let the director go?
