From the article:

"The shocking news drew immediate comparisons to former President Richard Nixon's dismissal of the independent Watergate investigator Archibald Cox in 1973. Nixon resigned the following year after a congressional panel voted for impeachment.

By Wednesday, the odds for a Trump impeachment during his first term had risen from 2/1 to 4/6, representing a 60 percent chance, according to Lewis Davey, a spokesman for the Irish betting site Paddy Power."

Just heard a news report that Trump was shouting at the tv when watching Comey testify. He apparently went around Priebus and Bannon, who seem to have found out about the firing after the fact.

I wonder what those odds will be two days from now, as the pressure builds on Trump and he lashes out in some new, unpredictable direction, leaving his advisors confused and trembling.
