"This is obviously absurd. The entire objection to Comey's intervention in the election is that he violated FBI protocol because—as an exhaustively reported New York Times account found—he implicitly assumed Clinton would win, and feared postelection attacks on his agency by enraged Republicans. The refusal by Republicans to accept the legitimacy of law enforcement, even a Republican official like Comey, is the source of both Comey's unusual foray into the election and Trump's decision to fire him. It is perfectly consistent to object to both—not to mention for Democrats to fear that, however unforgivable Comey's actions, a Trump-selected replacement would be more dangerous."
