At the very least, Comey is biased

Considering what former FBI Director James Comey said recently, he seems
to have taken sides against POTUS Trump.

Does this not seem like bias?  It does to me, and may explain why he
decided to take the Flynn conversation with POTUS, and his firing, as
he did.

Let's take the Flynn first.  Given his own description of events, could
it be said that if it were Hillary saying the exact same thing, would
he have reacted the same way?  Would it not be reasonable to rephrase
what POTUS Trump said about letting Flynn go, as a means of making
sure that is what Trump meant?  If Hillary had said the exact same
thing, and if she were POTUS, would he have done things the same way?

For instance, could he have asked Trump: "Do you mean that I should
let Flynn go?"  If Trump had said "yes", then he could mention that
it could be construed as obstruction of justice, and given that info,
would he like to rephrase what he said?

He certainly gave Hillary the benefit of the doubt when the law didn't
require it.  Even if the law doesn't require it in Trump's case, it
would seem that he would at least show as much courtesy toward Trump
as he did towards Hillary.  Since that appears to be the case here,
does it not seem that he was biased against Trump?

Since he didn't open an obstruction case against Trump, could it be
that he was trying to get back at Trump for firing him, then?

Clearly, Comey wants to interpret Trump's words as obstruction in the
Flynn case, and his firing seems to be motivating him as well.  He
says his firing may have been motivated by obstruction as well.  If
Comey believed that Trump was obstructing justice, why did he not
open an obstruction case as did then Deputy McCabe?

There are other reasons to consider Comey biased.  He seems to have
paid much attention to detail when he signed off on the FISA warrant,
which is supposed to be verified.  In his own words, several months
after fact, he said that the Steele Dossier was "salacious and
unverified".  McCabe said without the Steele Dossier, there would
not have been a FISA warrant.  If no FISA warrant, then there would
be no Mueller.  Therefore, Comey seeks to have a special prosecutor
named after POTUS Trump fires him, but not before.  His lack of
attention to detail was another way in which he shows bias against
Trump, and he might well have known that it could lead to a special
prosecutor being named, and that is what he was after when he leaked
that info to the press just after he was fired.

Why not show more attention to detail?  Would he not have done the
same for Hillary?  He seems to go out of his way to help Hillary,
even if his efforts were not appreciated, he clearly believed that
he was helping her.  Why not show the same courtesy to Trump, unless
he biased against him?
