This is more urgent, which means it's about Russia (or maybe a new corruption scandal!), which means they want to have dupes and trolls being able to give the reaction ably showcased by awval ITT.
EDIT: NYT reporting that WH started looking for a reason to fire him just recently:

Sure but reading the text I would say that:
-Official reason to fire Comey is that he overstepped the Attorney General's authority by announcing that they weren't pursuing the Clinton case
-Reason they want people to get from between the lines: he was fired because he didn't prosecute Hillary.
-Real reason is Trump is afraid of the investigation. The mere fact that he would ask 3 times (!!!!! like how insecure can you be? That's like a tax fraudster calling the IRS a few times a year to ask if they're closing in on him...) Comey whether he was being personally investigated is nuts to me.
