“This FBI Director has sought for years to jail me on account of my political activities,” Snowden tweeted. “If I can oppose his firing, so can you.” [. . .] “Comey's firing will be an extraordinary boon for transparency as his loyalists leak and the admin counter-leaks,” Assange tweeted. “Will he run for 2020?”

So reports the "Kremlin propaganda puppet," in line with a closeness between Trump and Putin.

UPDATE: Also, RT here, a Q/A thread with Coleen Rowley, former person of the year; Rowley ending:

And maybe Comey himself will speak out, but I guess he probably will just go silently into the night. Before he became FBI director, he was a general council [sic] for a very important Lockheed Martin defense contractor. In theory, he can get his old job back easily enough.
