Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign team was quick to denounce President Trump's Tuesday firing of FBI Director James Comey.
Campaign manager Robby Mook said the move "terrifies" him.
Twilight zone. I was as disappointed and frustrated as anyone at how the email investigation was handled. But this terrifies me.

The White House said Comey was fired at the recommendation of the Justice Department, but Brian Fallon, who was the Clinton campaign’s press secretary last year, said Trump’s decision “smells like a coverup on Russia” coming amid the FBI's probe of Russian election interference and any possible ties between Trump's campaign and Moscow.
This is appropriate sentiment but DOJ shd have awaited IG probe on Comey. Now it just smells like coverup on Russiahttps://t.co/Z0u8vgF9cr

Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.), Clinton's running mate, echoed those sentiments.
Trump firing Comey shows how frightened the Admin is over Russia investigation
