In an interview with James Comey by Brett Baier on Fox a few weeks ago, Brett asked Comey, with a hint of incredulousness in his voice, whether Comey would have continued as FBI Director if Trump hadn't fired him. Comey answered that he would have continued in the job.
Given the unremitting contempt we now know that Comey held for Trump, which puts him in the same league as Peter Stzrok and Lisa Page except for being more discreet about it, the honorable thing for Comey to do would have been to resign. Comey has said that Trump is "morally unfit" to be president and that impeachment would be too good for him. How could he in good conscious stay in an administration he felt that way about?
In the same vein, Karl Rove on one of the talk shows said he was appalled that Peter Stzrok did not recognize that it was inappropriate for him to lead investigations of political campaigns in which he had such strong feelings. Stzrok testified that his personal opinions had no effect on his professional actions. This is implausible on its face, and even more so considering his obnoxious manner when testifying before Congress.
