Can someone clarify if comey is pro trump or not?

Comey is a boy scout. He is righteous man for better or worse, has conservative leanings, but he is considered an honorable man especially for his actions during Ashcroft's hospitalization

  That is a good way of putting it. I believe he felt required by the obligations of the office to say something about the discovery of the email on Weiner's computer, and I tend to agree, even though I am not in any way a Trump supporter. It was my opinion from the time Clinton's clandestine email server was revealed that she was not viable as a candidate on account of it, and if Comey's statement was as instrumental as many of her supporters claim, then that hunch proved correct (though I am not sure, myself, whether the statement was decisive.)

Comey threw the election for Trump. I'd say he's pro Trump. This firing thing resulted after Comey went too far "off reservation" in looking at Trump.

I've generally had the impression that Comey is a more traditional conservative; he might prefer Republicans rather than Democrats be in control of the federal government, but he's never shown much love of Trump himself.

He's neither. He, like most other members of the U.S. government, is someone simply interested in doing their job to the best of their ability. He's not immune to making mistakes. But, he's also not pushing some partisan agenda. Once you get a degree of separation or two away from the politicrats, you end up with regular, ethical and moral people actually trying to make things work. That may be surprising to some, but, if you think about it, it's already pretty obvious that the people at the top do a poor job of representing anyone else, including their subordinates.

I don't think anyone can tell. His behavior has been very inconsistent. His reveal of the re-opened inquiry into Clinton's emails a week before the election blew every reasonable legal professional's mind in this country on matters concerning the presidential election. It's incredibly unusual for law enforcement or legal professionals to make comments which would invite speculation about ongoing investigations, let alone the highest law enforcement official in the land. It would have suggested that he favored Trump. Otherwise, what unbiased human would do such a thing? On the other hand, Comey seemed perfectly happy to then turn around and re-enter the public discourse on the matter of Trump's relationship with Russia. No one can figure him out. There's definitely an argument that this erratic behavior warrants termination, but days after he confirmed details about investigations into Trump-Russia? I swear Tom Clancy couldn't write a better story than this.
