Former FBI Director James Comey “was fired for the wrong reason,” Hilary Clinton said Wednesday. Comey “should not have been fired for Russia,” Clinton argued on NBC’s Today show, as she promoted her new book on her defeat in the 2016 election. But Comey “should have been disciplined, whether or not fired—that’s not for me to say—for the way that the behaved in the email investigation,” she added. Clinton’s distinction highlights the wild swings Comey’s reputation has taken over the past sixteen months due to his central role in two big scandals: his handling of an FBI investigation into Clinton’s use of a private email as secretary of state and the bureau’s investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 campaign. Clinton argues that Comey’s announcement 11 days before the election that the FBI was looking into a newly discovered set of her emails cost her the election.
