Sanders gave a very G-rated response, saying that Comey “did some things that weren’t really very nice, so that’s why the president let him go.”

Slippery James Comey, a man who always ends up badly and out of whack (he is not smart!), will go down as the WORST FBI Director in history, by far! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 15, 2018
Trump fired Comey in May 2017, and at the time, he cited recommendations by Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and Attorney General Jeff Sessions. Comey has now released a book titled A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies, and Leadership, which includes some insight into his relationship with the President.
