‘When Donald Trump abruptly fired FBI Director James Comey yesterday, the word came down from the administration that the cause of the sacking was the FBI director’s unfair hounding of Hillary Clinton. It seemed just a wee bit suspicious that Trump would suddenly decide to relieve a law enforcement official, whose work he had lavishly praised, for his alleged mistreatment of the candidate he called Crooked Hillary.
Several developments have added to the suspicions. The New York Times reports that, days before, Comey requested more resources for the Russia investigation. And Trump himself, apparently forgetting his own administration’s line that Comey was fired for his 2016 actions, told reporters this morning he fired Comey because “he wasn’t doing a good job.” So … it’s not because he mishandled the Clinton investigation any more?
It is difficult to defend the Trump administration’s line when Trump himself cannot seem to keep it straight.’
Trump’s Constantly Changing Lies Are Making Life Impossible for His Defenders
And yet those on the blind, partisan right will continue to defend Trump and his lies, no matter how ridiculous or impossible to defend.
