Most of the heads of intelligence like Clapper are political appointees who will be replaced by Trump with people he will expect will tell him what he wants to hear. He will instruct them to shut down any investigations where he is targeted.

Regardless of what we think of him, Comey thinks of himself as an honorable man, who will stand up to Trump as needed and he is appointed for a 10 year term. If Comey is forced to resign, Trump will put in his own guy to be FBI Director.
