One of the media spins in response to last week’s firing of FBI Director James Comey was that President Trump has just “made his Russia problem worse.”

It would raise doubts with the public about any claim by a new, Trump-appointed FBI director that there was no evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russian government to influence the election.
