Re: the ability of a President to fire a Special Prosecutor/Special Counsel; one of the advantages of living a long time is experiencing some incidents that have now come about again; Nixon tried to get Archibald Cox fired and could not legally do so on his own orders; Nixon then tried to get the AG to fire Cox, but the AG refused and resigned in disgust; Nixon moved on down the food chain and tried to get the Asst. AG to fire Cox and the Asst. AG also quit in protest; Nixon was finally able to get the Solicitor General to do the firing, but the end result was the filing of an obstruction of justice count added to the impeachment articles based on Nixon's actions in firing the SP:

Trump is welcome to try to repeat history... I don't think his outcome will be any different than Nixon's... <O>

Sorry, I don't understand either of those terms. If you'll recall, I didn't vote for either the clown or the crook. When asked if I thought they were equall6y bad, I replied that I thought each one was worse than the other.
I don't really care that much about Trump one way or the other, as despite the cries from the left no President is really capable of doing extreme harm to the country. What I care about are True Believers, the ones who "know" that they are right and will go to practically any length to prove it. Every comment they make is based on that presupposition, and they always seem to have a difficult time actually discussing a topic without a whole lot of "Rah, Rah, We're The Best!" The also seem to operate on the assumption that everyone else thinks just like them, so that anyone who offers any kind of negative observation is automatically assumed to be the enemy. A lot of us actually don't think that way.

Comey's memos have been released by the DOJ and can be read here:

In some ways I feel sorry for Comey because it seems like he has psychological disorder. He seems oblivious to his own shortcomings while gladly pointing out defects in others. Maybe he's preparing his defense.

As for the second part of your post, Comey didn't make it public because the FBI would then have to publicly correct it incase Trump became target of investigation which -- needless to say -- would hamper the investigation. |

Comey is a non-entity at this point, spurned by both Republicans and Democrats. He will never be appointed to any office ever again.
He will do his publicity tour, get his two weeks of fame and then disappear altogether.

when Obama hired Comey he had a net worth of 11 million dollars now a book deal he's laughing all the way to the bank to collect his money. While with the FBI he still made about 130,000 dollars more than the average American household. Obvious to me where his higher loyalty lies. The joke's on us. Meanwhile here at SUBSIM...

at this point , it seems Trump is not a target, so no reason to fire anyone:
