The substance of the deputy attorney general's memo was that Comey should be fired because he was so mean to Hillary. I happen to agree with that. But the notion that Donald Trump believes that is preposterous. He fired Comey because of Russia.
Begala discusses the reasons behind Comey's firing, attributing it to Trump's concerns over Russia rather than the stated reasons.

President Trump, God bless him. Sometimes he says the quiet part out loud.
He didn't get elected because folks want to buy Greenland. He got elected because folks want to buy groceries. And he, by God, better cut the cost of groceries, gas and rent.
It's really not President Trump's job to check even the most important special government employee.
