A media themelet is Trump fired then-FBI director James Comey because Comey would not let Michael Flynn off the hook.
We may someday learn Trump fired Comey because the FBI acted on the dossier to surveil Trump's team from July 2016 to January 2017 without giving Trump a defensive briefing the Russians might be inside his campaign, signaling the FBI wanted to take Trump down, not protect him or America.
There has been no discussion as to why, in possession of information they seemed to believe showed the Russians were running a global full-court press to recruit inside Trump's inner circle, Trump was never offered a defensive briefing by the FBI. Such a warning - hey, you may not know it, but here's how you are in danger - is common inside government.
My guess is history will show by January 2017 the FBI likely knew there was nothing to the dossier It was only then Comey unveiled the dossier to then president-elect Trump in a 1:1 brief in Trump Tower.
Comey almost certainly mentioned while Trump may not have heard of it, the dossier had already been widely shared inside the media, the State Department, and the intelligence community.
Paul Manafort and Richard Gates were also the subjects of FISA-warranted surveillance: they were surveilled in 2014, the case was dropped for lack of evidence, and then they were re-surveilled after they joined the Trump team and became more interesting to the state.
Trump officials were monitored by British GCHQ with the information shared with their NSA partners.
