His job is secure for several years, so how does he benefit by this betrayal of both his job and country? Any guesses?

and the POTUS has the authority to do exactly that, just as Bill Clinton did when he dismissed/fired FBI Director William Sessions.

and received several life sentences. When asked why he did it, he said just for the money.
That could be Comey's reason. I would guess McConnell did it for power as did trump.

We need an independent investigation with NO members of congress on it and in a very public venue. The news media needs to cover live every question and answer. This should happen asap.

Only then will the voters understand what went down.

And quite within the bounds of CT, I have always had questions about McConnell. As you know he’s married to Elaine Chao, but did you know her family is very close, too close if you ask me, to the leaders in China? My feeling is that the only loyalty he has is to himself.
