A White House spokeswoman was hardly wrong when she said Wednesday that if a President Hillary Clinton had fired FBI Director James Comey, Democrats would now be dancing in the streets.

After all, until Tuesday evening, Comey was Public Enemy No. 1 in the liberal playbook, a partisan shill whose last-minute disclosures on Hillary’s emails supposedly swept Donald Trump into the White House.

Now they’re calling him America’s hero and warning ominously that his abrupt sacking has propelled the country into a full-blown constitutional crisis.

Complete nonsense — but typical left-wing hypocrisy.

Any crisis is purely political, not constitutional. Trump had every legal right to fire Comey, and plenty of good reason to have done so long ago — as top Democrats like Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and his predecessor, Harry Reid, would have agreed.

That Trump waited this long — and compounded the problem by the clumsy way in which the firing was handled — speaks to this administration’s disorganization.

But it does not suggest a Nixonian cover-up of the FBI investigation into Russia’s meddling in the US campaign, which will proceed (like the House and Senate probes) no matter who heads the FBI.

Comey hadn’t even indicated that his probe was looking at Trump campaign collusion with the Russians. Yet that hasn’t stopped Democrats like Sen. Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut from falsely claiming that Trump “fired the chief investigator who has him as the target of the investigation.”

Cover-up? Firing Comey, and the bizarre way it was done, only guaranteed more pressure for a full probe — led by someone far more trusted than Comey has become.

Consider: Would the Democratic base have accepted the results of a Comey-led investigation that didn’t damn the president?

Yet there’s still zero evidence on the public record of Team Trump collusion with the Russians, nor of Russian interference beyond the WikiLeaks dump of embarrassing internal Democratic emails.

That said, the White House is wrong to suggest it’s time to “move on” from any investigation. We don’t believe a cover-up was involved — but the public needs to be reassured it wasn’t.

But don’t let Team Trump’s bumbling serve as a cover for the Dems’ two-faced dishonesty. They’ve wanted Comey gone for months — yet now resent that he is.
