Trump fired Comey and admitted two days later in a live TV interview he'd fired him because the Russia investigation was becoming a problem for him. He also told various other people, foreign diplomats etc the exact same thing on the official White House record.
Comey did not leak classified information and did not lie about it. One thing he leaked has since been retroactively classified by the FBI, it was not classified when he leaked it. Trump's official reason for firing Comey, believe it or not, is that he was too hard on investigating Hillary during the election. Trump has obviously contradicted his official reason dozens of times since. There were no FBI plants or spies in Trump's campaign. One FBI informant, a Republican who worked on half a dozwen presidential campaigns from Reagan onwards, tried to find out covertly how much Russian infiltration of Trump's campaign there had been. The FBI used the least intrusive, most conservative method of doing this. If they'd actually been intent on destroying Trump's campaign they could just have publicly arrested the four individuals they had evidence on.
There was no attempt at entrapment. It wasn't Hillary or Obama who employed the four Russian agents. Trump initially denied any contacts or meetings with Russians or any other foreign agents during the campaign. There have now been over 30 documented meetings as well as his son in law trying to set up a secure communication channel based in the Russian embassy so that the Trump people could talk to the Russians during the campaign without the US intel services listening in. As well as Russia Trump has clandestine meetings with agents from these countries: Israel UAE Saudi Arabia Qatar Turkey but is outraged that the FBI, who are charged with upholding the legitimacy of the democratic process, would try to ascertain during the election campaign (without alerting the media) just how deeply the Russian involvement was with the Trump campaign.
The fact that half his campaign have been indicted and are now cooperating with Mueller against Trump and all the other evidence made public is ignored, instead Trump is asking us to question why he was being investigated at all.
