A s the powerful head of the FBI, James Comey lobbed one bombshell after another into the world of American politics - until the politics came back to bite. Dismissed by president Donald Trump in a shock announcement on Tuesday , less than halfway into his 10-year term, Mr Comey played a deeply controversial role in the run-up to last year's election - and beyond.
