A brilliant move; Comey had to tell it right because he feared he was on tape.  Smart, because IMO Comey's a snake. Maybe Trump's next book should be The Art of the Bluff.  :P

Yes, Trump knew the man he was dealing with.

Indeed he did; I believe Comey was fired for cause but we just don't know that cause yet.

Oh we know the cause.   Trump fired Comey because Comey would not exonerate him in public.  Comey, by his own admission, told Trump three times that he was not under investigation.  Trump wanted Comey to publicly exonerate him and inform the country that he was not under investigation.   Comey would not inform the media that Trump was not under investigation and knowingly allowed the media to continue putting out a narrative that Trump was under either intelligence or criminal investigation.  

The false narrative that Trump was under investigation was keeping Congress from wanting to work with him and was also overshadowing his agenda and anything he was doing was not being covered.  The only thing the media outlets  were talking about was impeaching Trump based on that false narrative.  The fact that Comey was willingly and knowingly allowing it to continue is justification for firing him.

He didn't cover up any lies.   He exposed the lies that media was putting out against him.  The possibility of tapes existing meant Comey could not lie to Congress.  It wasn't a chance he could afford to take.

I think after the hearings where Comey was questioned about Hillary's illegal conduct as Secretary of State, it became obvious with his double talk that he was on the payroll of someone not signing his government salary check.  This man is a former prosecutor. He's well educated in the law. And yet his answers during the hearings concerning Hillary's illegal activity did not represent that. 

His own words when he was being questioned recently concerning the supposed investigation of president Trump did not change the perception of the electorate, voters, who watched. The man has no ethics. And he feigns ignorance of the law in order to avoid being answerable to it. 

Trump worked for decades in NYC and negotiated among unions and other savvy government officials in order to make his mark with the architecture that stands bearing his name there. Trump can read people with the best of them. 
That Comey said what he did during the hearings questioning him after he was fired shows he only came clean because he thought if he lied those supposed tapes would nail him. 

This isn't unethical. Abraham Lincoln when he was a practicing attorney did the same thing to a witness on the stand. Hannity show shared this when reporting this bluff on Comey. 

Lincoln questioned a witness that claimed to have seen his client commit murder at night. The witness said they could see clearly what had transpired because there was a full moon. 

Lincoln grabbed an almanac and handed it to the man . The almanac was turned to the page of the same date as the alleged murder, and pointed out that on that date there was no full moon. 

The witness, who Lincoln knew was lying and committing perjury on the stand, recanted when he saw that notation in the almanac. 

The witness was a liar. A perjurer. And so guilty was his conscience that he didn't even realize the Almanac he was looking at was from the year before. There was a full moon on the night of the murder. But this witness who lied and was not there to witness this murder in truth, didn't realize that because he knew he never saw a thing. The truth was the furthest thing from his mind. The facts were too, which is typical for liars. Otherwise, he would have looked at the front of the Almanac to realize the date. 

Comey is a liar. Donald Trump knew how to get at the truth. Bluff Comey into thinking if he lied before Congress the truth would come out as recorded. Comey didn't know if there was a tape, he assumed there was. And he knew he was lying before that hearing.
