In today’s Washington Post story about President Trump’s “repeated” discussions with aides about whether to fire FBI Director Christopher A. Wray after Election Day, here’s what the President’s aides reportedly say about the reasons for these repeated discussions and why Wray will be fired, if he is:

People familiar with the discussions say Trump wants official action similar to the announcement made 11 days before the last presidential election by then-FBI Director James B. Comey, who informed Congress he had reopened an investigation into Clinton’s use of a private email server while she was secretary of state after potential new evidence had been discovered.

That puts the President in alignment with Nate Silver’s view at the 538 blog on the movement in the state polls over the last 11 days in the 2016 election.
