I don't think it's hypocrisy to think that Comey did the wrong thing back during the campaign but was in the process of doing the right thing with regard to the Russia investigation. The choice isn't whether to love or hate him unreservedly, and there's no reason one can't have mixed feelings about him without it being taken as hypocrisy.
For Trump to claim that he fired Comey because he was unfair to Hillary Clinton nine months ago is utterly ridiculous and I daresay that no one believes it for a second. Meanwhile, the NY Times just reported that just a few days ago, Comey asked the Justice Department for more resources to devote to the Russia investigation. Does any sane person think that has nothing to do with the sudden firing?
