One thing about the Trump administration is that it doesn't seem to plan too far ahead. Another thing is that everyone in it is constantly leaking snarky details about their colleagues to reporters. The Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, Politico, and the New York Times have thus blessed us with a cornucopia of details about President Trump's spontaneous, chaos-inducing decision to fire FBI Director James Comey, which was seemingly induced by Comey's insistence on investigating Trump's Russia ties but is being pinned officially (and unconvincingly) on his handling of the Clinton email case. Here are the best 10 details from these chronicles of madness.

10. Comey has been telling people that Trump is a lunatic. New York Times:

After President Trump accused his predecessor in March of wiretapping him, James B. Comey, the F.B.I. director, was flabbergasted. The president, Mr. Comey told associates, was “outside the realm of normal,” even “crazy.”

9. Comey has big plans for his life post-FBI. Washington Post:

He was observed puttering in his yard at his home in Northern Virginia on Wednesday.

8. LOL. Washington Post:

When asked Tuesday night for an update on the unfolding situation, one top White House aide simply texted a reporter two fireworks emoji.
