Proof in the Pudding: His reason (now
reasons) for Firing Comey
(Three
different versions)
WASHINGTON (AP) – Trump once again offers a shifting
rationale for the reason he fired former FBI Director James Comey,
He also
joined other Republicans in exaggerating how much simpler it will become for
Americans to file their taxes next time.
Then he erred
by a hair in claiming a historic achievement in black and Hispanic joblessness.
More behind the scene recent statements on these matters and more:
TRUMP
TWEETS: “Slippery James Comey, the worst FBI Director in history, was not fired
because of the phony Russia investigation where, by the way, there was NO COLLUSION
(except by the Dems)!”
FACTS: Only
Trump knows why he decided to fire Comey. But Trump has changed his story. In
May 2017, two days after ousting Comey, Trump told Lester Holt on NBC this: “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.”
Comey's
firing, and Trump's subsequent suggestion that the investigation into Russian
meddling in the election was a factor, led Deputy Attorney General Rod
Rosenstein to appoint special counsel Robert Mueller to oversee the probe.
Mueller is now
examining the Comey firing as part of an investigation of potential obstruction
of justice by Trump. The wide-ranging investigation also has been looking into
potential collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian interests.
Historical
trail of Trump's rationale for dismissing Comey and how it has changed before:
Proof meet pudding:
1.
Initially, the White House attributed the firing to Comey's handling of
the FBI's investigation of Hillary Clinton's email practices.
2.
Trump then contradicted that explanation in his NBC interview with
Lester Holt.
3. Now, once again, he has changed that
story version again.
My 2 Cents: When will the brain dead
Trump loyalists who stick to him like glue come to their senses and say: “This
man is a serial liar – a pathological liar in fact, and boy have we been duped
time and time again by him and his lies.”
This is greatly harmful to the nation
and to our national sanity. It is time to dump him and return to some sort of
sanity now before it is long too late.
Help push this message with every resource
you have.
