FBI insider reveals the truth
Apparently, Dilanian claims an FBI insider said that Trump real motive was to replace Comey with someone who would close the Russian investigation. With James officially out, now President Trump can appoint whoever he wants.
Call to bring on a special prosecutor
Sen John McCain (R-AZ) calls for Congress to appoint a special investigator to look into the president's ties to Russia. Democrats felt that firing Comey was just a "clever" way to cover up his crimes. They feel the only way to expose Trump is to bring on a third party investigator.
Former senior FBI official tells me: "I believe the intent here is to replace him with someone who will close" the Russia probe.

According to Occupy Democrats, McCain added that the special prosecutor should be someone that is brought on by Congress or appointed and not put into a position that would allow Donald Trump to relieve them of their duties.
So far, anyone who challenges Trump he finds a way to fire them. So, both sides agree, if they continue with the Russian investigation, they need to make sure President Trump and his cronies cannot fire them.
