The do as I say not as I do President reign continues.
It was the Attorney General's idea to sack Comey and Trump supported him. He lied to Congress and didn't admit he was wrong.
I also think it's wrong to blame Trump in the Russian scandal, most of it is either his Advisers and staff being friends with Russian Politicians or supposedly lying to him.

Clapper admitted he also was not initially aware of the FBI’s counterintelligence probe into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election. But he said if there was any evidence of collusion, it “didn’t reach the evidentiary bar” needed for an intelligence assessment issued earlier this year. Clapper, further, reiterated that his team could not corroborate the contents of an infamous anti-Trump dossier that was shared with officials earlier this year."

The position of Director at the FBI lasts for 10 years to help keep the individual above politics. Comey is a Republican and was appointed Director by Obama back in 2013.
Last July, Comey reopened the investigation into Clinton's emails days before the US election, which absolutely ruined Clinton's chances. There was nothing bad found in the emails anyway. That isn't the only thing that upset Democrats. He announced the investigation into the emails but DIDN'T announce that they were also investigating links between Russia and the Trump campaign. Great news for Republicans, bad news for Democrats. To be clear, Russia did interfere with hacking, leaks about Clinton, and fake news.
The accusation here is that Trump's team coordinated with Russia to make deals over sanctions placed by the Obama administration and to attack Clinton before the election. If it's proven that the Trump campaign worked with Russia and against Obama then they're in biiiiiiiiiiiiig trouble. Interfering with the election is possibly worse. So that was last year.
Skip to now and the FBI are still investigating the Trump-Russia connection. It's looking really bad. People close to Trump have been attending regular meetings with Russian officials and have been caught lying about it. If you've heard about Mike Flynn, he's a guy that who's already been fired for this. Obama warned Trump about him but he was only eventually sacked right when his involvement was about to be announced by journalists. Perhaps most worryingly, Attorney General Jeff Sessions is also among the people meeting with the Russians and lying under oath about doing so. They're all looking very guilty.
So what's happening now and why was Comey fired? In the background, in secret, the FBI has been investigating Trump. It's gotten to the point where a Federal Grand Jury is involved. That's a secret panel kept from the public to protect those being investigated (they might be innocent after all). We shouldn't know about it but it becomes public once subpoenas are sent out. These are requests for information, interviews, records etc that could be relevant in determining whether the investigation should lead to a full court case.
Yesterday CNN broke the story that Federal Grand Jury subpoenas have been sent out for information on top Trump officials relating to the connection between the Trump campaign and Russia. He's in trouble. However, here's a plot twist. A short while before the news of the subpoenas broke, Trump suddenly fired James Comey as FBI Director. That's the big news that everyone is talking about right now.
Why was Comey fired? According to Trump it's because of his statements about Clinton's emails in July 2016. Despite approving of Comey's actions and publicly praising him, he apparently now feels it's time to get rid of him for it. A year later. And this sacking came as a recommendation from Jeff Sessions, who is literally being investigated for lying about meeting with Russians. You can't make this up. To make matters worse, Comey was due to testify at national security hearings tomorrow. Just two days before he gets to speak he was fired.
To summarise: A US President, whose campaign and administration is being investigated by the FBI for connections with Russia, has sacked the person in charge of those investigations as recommended by someone also being investigated. They did this on the same day that news was to break of subpoenas being sent confirming that the FBI investigation is taking place. And it's all apparently because of what Comey did, and the Republicans approved of, a year ago.
Many people including Republican senators are standing up against this and requesting that an independent investigation be carried out. The fear is that Trump will appoint a new FBI Director who has been compromised. These actions make Trump above the law in a way that Presidents really shouldn't be. This is a big part of what the US is and stands for. It's not the first time Trump's actions will be described as unconstitutional.
What's Trump been up to the last few days during all this? Well, he changed his Twitter cover pic to add a statement saying he definitely has no ties to Russia. He wrote in the letter to Comey that he has no ties to Russia. And today he's literally meeting with a Russian Foreign Minister. As someone else pointed out, it would be like Nixon adding "I AM NOT A CROOK" onto every letterhead. If you wrote this as fiction in such a way to make someone as guilty as possible, to go out of their way to look unbelievably guilty, you'd end up with something like this mess.
Think about it. If they're willing to fire Comey yesterday in order to halt or take over the investigation and risk looking this guilty, imagine how bad the truth is that they're trying to hide.
So that's what's going on.

I don't think either of those is true.
