Read the annotated version of the deputy attorney general's memo dismissing Comey. The New York Times editorial board said Comey was fired because "he could bring down a president," as Comey was the top official leading the investigation into whether Trump's campaign colluded with the Russian government to influence the 2016 presidential election. While comparisons to Watergate and the 1973 Saturday Night Massacre abound, the Nixon library would like to remind you that the former president never fired his FBI director. This is what the FBI plans to do until a replacement is found. Here's a list of who could be the next FBI director. And this is how front pages across the country reported the news.
