He probably deserved to be fired. The reasons given were valid although it's odd that the Trump administration is so concerned how unfair it was to Clinton and also waited until now to do it.

We'll have to wait and see who is appointed next. The FBI director does have the power to shut down the Russian investigation or, more likely, starve it of resources. If none of this happens and they appoint a proper FBI director rather than someone who is connected to his campaign/support then it was about Comey. If it does get shut down then we hit a serious crisis.
