        So he fired him because the investigation made him look bad? And you can't see how corrupt that is?

        1/ Um, Comey stated he knew that one b/c, well, we all knew it: Trump said so, absolutely against his staff's statements & his interests.

        2/ 1 of those moments Trump gets sick advice &, oops, e.g., tweets what it is: a "Travel Ban." Opposite of his args, statements; will kill

        3/ his & his lawyers' cred. even more (after being torn apart by 4th Cir) in S.Ct. Still has decent chance to win, but made more complicated

        In the White House, staffers are playing a high risk game of Pass the Parcel with @realDonaldTrump's phone as he chases after it crying.

        Comey was fired for NOT TELLING THE TRUTH about Trump not being investigated. Read Trumps tweet.

        Actually no. Your tweet was exactly what he made it out to be. Trumps own tweets contradict each other. So they're not a "fact"

        The fact has been repeated (by Trump and now Comey) Trump wasn't being investigated. Comey never told the public and fired for this failure

        Maybe because he was never asked? He isn't supposed to come out and defend people blindly.

        猛烈証言! 長官を辞任する前にドナルド・トランプ大統領はジェイムズ・コーミィ長官(当時)に嘘をついた上にFBIの名誉を傷つけた、とのこと。 前FBI長官の強力な爆弾発言が炸裂し始めた。 公聴会は続いており、CNNが生中継している。
