How else are we supposed to take this?
So far, the story from Trump and his White House Minions concerning the firing of FBI Director, James Comey, is the only side of story being told.
A couple of days ago when this debacle, the story coming from the White House stated that Comey was fired because of his handling of the Hillary Clinton email scandal. Trump’s minions ran out and told the American people that Trump’s decision to fire the Director was based on a memo produced by his assistant Attorney General, Rod Rosenstein.
As it turns out, that reason was a lie. Rosenstein was being used by Trump as an excuse to fire Comey. In an interview on NBC pretty-much admitted that the whole thing had nothing to do with Hillary Clinton or the memo, but had everything to do with the connection between Russia and the Trump’s campaign. Donald Trump threw all his White House Minions under the bus. In the interview, Trump said the was thinking about “the Russian thing” when he decided to fire Comey, and that he considered it for a long time.
But in producing that Rosenstein’s meme made him do it lie, Trump said also that Comey told him on three different occasions – once at a dinner and twice on the telephone – that he was not the subject of the ongoing FBI investigation into possible collusion between Trump’s campaign and the Russians.
Everyone speaking on behalf of Comey and the FBI said Comey would never make such assurances to Trump especially in the midst of an ongoing investigation. And the New York Times has already reported that two people who spoke with Comey disagrees with Trump’s recollection.
The only other party left to tell his tale is Comey, and he is sure to say his piece soon.
With that in mind, Trump took to Twitter to let Comey know exactly where he stands – “James Comey better hope that there are no “tapes” of our conversations before he starts leaking to the press!”
If this is not a threat then I don’t know what is.
