The guy clearly hasn't been flying straight in his business life and he doesn't want to be investigated under any pretense.
That still assumes that a very stable genius capable of the successes that Trump has enjoyed, is also stupid enough to ignore the fact that firing one guy wouldn't stop the investigation, and that it looks bad.
Whether he's guilty of Russian collusion, or of something else, it doesn't change the fact that he would have nothing to gain by firing Comey. It doesn't change the fact that firing Comey without a good reason would be stupid.
No, it assumes he lacks an internal censor and/or thinks he can get away with anything like he has his whole life.
If that's the case, why is he so worried about Comey? Does not compute. He can't be simultaneously paranoid about the FBI investigation AND confident enough to confess on television.
First, referring to yourself as open-minded may be being a bit generous. Of your ~1800 posts here, none of them have ever suggested there's much if any flexibility in your opinions.
Try using facts or logic to change my mind, not the sensational speculations of failing newspapers.
