"It is done, and I will be fine."

“In times of turbulence, the American people should see the FBI as a rock of competence, honesty, and independence,” Comey wrote, adding that he would not spend time debating Trump’s decision “or the way it was executed.”
Comey learned he was fired when he saw the news splashed on TV screens in the background of a talk he was giving to bureau employees in Los Angeles. His termination comes amidst an ongoing FBI probe into Russia’s interference in the U.S. election.
In his letter Comey wrote he has “long believed that a president can fire an FBI director for any reason, or for no reason at all.”
Comey urged FBI staff not to dwell on Trump’s decision. “It is done, and I will be fine, although I will miss you and the mission deeply,” he wrote.
