Democrats have been calling for Comey's head since last summer. Give them what they want, and now they don't want it any more. Like a petulant child.

Regardless of how you spin it, no one can deny that it is unethical for Trump to fire Comey in the middle of investigating Trump's campaign. Even Trump understood that which is why he claimed he wasn't being investigated.
But that claim comes with two more issues:
1. It would be unethical for Comey to have these three alleged conversations with Trump, just as much as Bill Clinton meeting with the AG when she was investigating Hillary was unethical.
2. No one can deny that Comey was investigating Trump's campaign. Claiming that Trump was not being investigated was disingenuous. Since the investigation was not complete how could you possibly know whether or not Trump was part of it?
To now see these republicans paraded out defending this because six months ago Democrats wanted Comey fired is the height of hypocrisy. Think about it, the President was a democrat. Why didn't he fire Comey? Because it would be unethical to do so while Hillary Clinton was being investigated.
