Comey's actions in July and October were inexcusable and were against the way things are done in the DoJ and the FBI. For that, his firing could very well have been justifiable, though the FBI director is often seen as someone that is "unfireable" because of the nature of the position. His resignation should have occurred. However, when Trump applauded his actions regarding Clinton and then turned around to try to use that as justification for his firing it is plainly obvious that he had a goal in mind and looked for justification for it. He did not fire Comey because of his actions during the election cycle, he fired Comey for other reasons. His motive can be debated until we are all blue in the face, but you would have to be a fool to not see that the reason given in the memo from Rosenstein was not the true reason Comey was fired.
