The libtard talking point is that Trump fired Comey in order to stop the Russia investigation.
As dumb as it was since it made no sense to anyone with a functioning brain to begin with, it's been repeated ad nauseam and part of the Russia Russia Russia nonsense since. In fact, as you repeat it here, twisting the "Russia on his mind" was part of that same narrative.
If, as the NYT now is reporting, he knew in advance that it would not and likely could make it worse, then he obviously didn't do it for that reason.
