Trump was under no such pressure to fire Comey.

It's also worth noting that Nixon didn't have to contend with a 24 hour news cycle on 25 different TV stations and a deep state leaking his every move to the press. So he probably thought he could get away with it.

A guilty Trump could not make the same assumption. 1) He has less privacy than Nixon and 2) He can ask google "what happened when Nixon did this"?
If Trump was guilty, what would be his play then? Wait for the inevitable subpoena and then start firing people?
