They called him out for deliberately throwing the election to Trump. Now that the investigation is underway, they're appropriately suspicious of Trump for suddenly firing Comey in the middle of it. Can you honestly not see this?

If your goal is to help echo the GOP talking points, then you should equally ask why Trump praised Comey when it was convenient for him to do so but fired him when Comey became inconvenient.
