Ms. Kendzior is absolutely obsessed with Trump, isn't she? 

Kendzior should have more faith in her country's democratic traditions, rather than describe the firing of one individual department head as an ominous erosion of democracy. If Trump could somehow switch off the investigation altogether, THAT would be an erosion of democracy. But there's no way he can, because he doesn't control what the FBI investigates. Nor can Trump hide the evidence that the FBI, the CIA, the NSA, HS et al have.

Comey should've been fired six months ago when he interfered in the presidential election. He could still be charged with with breaking the law for his actions. But Comey is a strange hybrid: a Republican appointed to powerful office by Barrack Obama. That's why Obama didn't fire him last fall.

The FBI Director has an amazing amount of power over elected officials and the media.
