Oh boy! Here we go (again)!
Via NYT:
WASHINGTON — President Trump asked the F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, to shut down the federal investigation into Mr. Trump’s former national security adviser, Michael T. Flynn, in an Oval Office meeting in February, according to a memo Mr. Comey wrote shortly after the meeting.
“I hope you can let this go,” the president told Mr. Comey, according to the memo.
The existence of Mr. Trump’s request is the clearest evidence that the president has tried to directly influence the Justice Department and F.B.I. investigation into links between Mr. Trump’s associates and Russia.
[…]
In a statement, the White House denied the version of events in the memo.
“While the president has repeatedly expressed his view that General Flynn is a decent man who served and protected our country, the president has never asked Mr. Comey or anyone else to end any investigation, including any investigation involving General Flynn,” the statement said. “The president has the utmost respect for our law enforcement agencies, and all investigations. This is not a truthful or accurate portrayal of the conversation between the president and Mr. Comey.”
I’m not even sure why I included the White House response, since it’s probably going to change.
Anyone else exhausted? Also, what sort of fool takes on the Intelligence Community?
Imma have to set an alarm to see what the Tweeter in chief says during his morning constitutional.
Eerie silence so far…
I keep checking his Twitter feed. Eerie silence is right.
Did someone finally take his phone away???
