Deputy attorney general threatened to quit after being cast as impetus of dismissal, source says

A person close to the White House said that President Trump had already decided to fire the FBI director. Accounts from more than 30 officials at the White House, Justice Department and on Capitol Hill indicate that the president was angry that James Comey would not support his baseless claim that President Obama had his campaign offices wiretapped. And he fumed that Comey was giving too much attention to the Russia probe and not enough to investigating leaks to journalists.
