Comey: President Had Right to Fire Me Without Cause

Fired FBI Director James Comey urged his former colleagues at the bureau to continue “upholding the constitution” in a resignation letter released Wednesday night.

In the letter,Comey writes: “I have long believed that a President can fire an FBI Director for any reason, or for no reason at all.

“I’m not going to spend time on the decision or the way it was executed. I hope you won’t either.”
