I don't think it's the governments job to protect private organizations.

So the whole FBI has been fired? Trump fired Comey so everyone just quit and went home?? Are you saying there isn't an ongoing investigation because Trump shut it down???
You obviously don't have a clue what you're talking about....and not just on this subject....
I agree with this is principal. But the DNC isn't exactly just aa private organization. They have access to top secret intel, get special privileges when it comes to our election system such as default having candidates for major offices like presidents, and I believe get tax money.
But if you feel this way, then surely you feel that the Russia hack story and therefore the Trump/Russia collusion story are no big deal at all, and are probably upset at the media and democrats going crazy over it.

That is not an option at this point. For one, Comey may not even take the job back. For two, Trump never backs down from a fight. Hiring Comey back would require him admitting he made a mistake which would be an acquisition of defeat in his mind. Not happening.

Why and how would evidence, evidence that hasn't surfaced at all yet, be lost during the transition of FBI directors?

Yep.
That is why I said... "What if?"

I can't say, but it is a question that shouldn't have been asked in the first place but has to be asked because of Trump interfering with the investigation.
How did Trump interfere with the investigation?

What if Trump quits the Presidency and joins a folk band? Who cares? It isn't going to ever happen.

Stop being coy. You know damn well that isn't how obstruction of justice works. Even if the investigation continues on, the new head of the investigation has to take time to bring himself up to speed on it. Evidence may have been lost in the transition and not to mention Trump is picking the replacement!
Firing Comey for investigating the Russia connection and asking for a loyalty test.

Comey does no investigations himself. Career agents do all the investigation. Comey is just head of the agency and as one man can be replaced. Those investigations don't miss a beat. Their findings don't just sit in a drawer is all that changes.

Oh so how do YOU have intimate knowledge of the inner workings of the FBI?

He didn't fire Comey for investigating Russia, nor did he ever say that was the reason.
Trump told NBC's Lester Holt: "And in fact when I decided to just do it, I said to myself, I said 'you know, this Russia thing with Trump and Russia is a made-up story, it's an excuse by the Democrats for having lost an election that they should have won'."
When asked about loyalty, he was referring to loyalty to the constitution and to the people, not to a partisan administration.
He even said this specifically, and yet the media can't even report correctly that Trump himself is not under investigation.
Get your facts straight.
