Comey: I Know I Was Fired Because the Russia Probe Was in Some Way ‘Irritating’ Trump

EXCERPT:

REED: "Do you believe that you were fired because you refused to take the President’s direction? Is that the ultimate reason?"
COMEY: "I don’t know for sure. I know I was fired. Again, I take the President’s words. I know I was fired because of something about the way I was conducting the Russia investigation was in some way putting pressure on him, in some way irritating him and he decided to fire me because of that. I can’t go farther than that."
