How big of a shovel do you have right now? I'd suggest you quit digging.

I'll start with #3 -- it was actually
Rod Rosenstein who suggested to Donald Trump to fire Jim Comey. Trump also never asked anyone to lie, at any time.
Next, #2 -- In addition to the Deputy AG, about
every Democrat in politics demanded Comey be fired! Hillary made her intentions well known about this matter too. This was before the election, of course, but nonetheless, if Hillary had won Comey would have 'retired'.
It was only after Trump won and took office, did the Democrats and media rally in support of the criminal and disgraced Jim Comey.
#1 -- Trump has the Constitutional right to fire anyone and everyone if he so chose. The DoJ, FBI members all work under the chief law enforcer in the country -- the President of the United States.
The idiocy around here saying Trump obstructed justice is just that -- idiotic. He could fire anyone he wants to and could have fired Mueller at any time, but Trump did not do so. That's the poop --
Trump did not fire anyone, despite be able to.
