Proving his motive is going to be difficult though since Trump could easily claim that Comey was fired due to gross incompetence as he demonstrated many times in dealing with Hillary.
Guys, this isn't hard. Trump literally told Lester Holt that he fired Comey because of "this whole Russia thing".
There is nothing to prove, he already told us!

This unfortunate statement of Trump's will definitely be used against him. Definitely. Whether it leads to Trump's removal is unknown.

There is nothing in the article which comes even close to what you claim in your quote above.
In fact, the article says this:
quote:Please point out where Trump told Holt what you claim he told him.
The president also said he supports a full investigation into Russian interference in the U.S. election last year, saying he wants the probe to be done "absolutely properly."
Holt asked Trump if he was "angry with Mr. Comey because of his Russia investigation."
"I just want somebody that's competent," Trump responded. "I am a big fan of the FBI, I love the FBI."
Trump said he never tried to pressure Comey into dropping the FBI probe of the Trump campaign and insisted, "I want to find out if there was a problem in the election having to do with Russia."
Asked by Holt if by firing Comey he was trying to send a "lay off" message to his successor, Trump said, "I'm not."
"If Russia did anything, I want to know that," he said.
