Maybe that was exactly the case, but instead he gave a different story in order to manage "optics". Someone mentioned once that's pretty important.
I think it's entirely plausible that the soon-to-be released memo about FISA abuses has Comey's name all over it. Trump seems to have been aware, long before anyone else, that he was under surveillance. Maybe he knew that Comey aided and abetted Obama's abuses of power.
If that's the case, optics be damned, Comey has to go.
How is that scenario any less plausible than one where Trump fired Comey to obstruct justice?
Seems to me that if you're the kind of person who just looks at a set of questionable circumstances, and decides to infer the worst just because you don't like the person in question, you are guilty of a kerfuffle.
Oh, so now there's ANOTHER reason why he fired Comey, to add to the three or four provided at the time.
Just a perfect example of propaganda at work. The more alternative facts you can provide, the less people will know what to believe.
Goebbels would be proud.
