Trump Told Russians That Firing Nut Job Comey Eased Pressure From Investigation
Source: New York Times

WASHINGTON President Trump told Russian officials in the Oval Office this month that firing the F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, had relieved great pressure on him, according to a document summarizing the meeting.

"I just fired the head of the F.B.I. He was crazy, a real nut job", Mr. Trump said, according to the document, which was read to The New York Times by an American official. "I faced great pressure because of Russia. Thats taken off. Mr. Trump added, Im not under investigation."

The conversation, during a May 10 meeting the day after he fired Mr. Comey reinforces the notion that Mr. Trump dismissed him primarily because of the bureaus investigation into possible collusion between his campaign and Russian operatives. Mr. Trump said as much in one televised interview, but the White House has offered changing justifications for the firing.

The White House document that contained Mr. Trumps comments was based on notes taken from inside the Oval Office and has been circulated as the official account of the meeting. One official read quotations to The Times, and a second official confirmed the broad outlines of the discussion.

What a retard Trump is to admit to his crime.

Yet more unsubstantiated bullshit. And the media wonders why they are held in such low regard.

This Trump Russia shit is just way too funny...
Wonder how many **** ups Trump is gonna have on this trip.

As many as the press can dream up. They take lsd, that's where they get real creative.

You really don't have any idea where this information is coming from do you. It's all coming from the Tramp White House. Leaks galore !

Tramp's own team is making it easy for the journalists to do their job which is report to the American people.

Takes a special kind of POTUS to brag to the Russians about firing his FBI director because the "nut job" was on his ass about...Russians.

takes a special kinda nut job to believe that he did that, yes.

takes a special kind of nut job to defend Trump. It is entirely believable.

telling someone their attacks are without merit is not defending anyone.

its saying your attack has no merit.

wish people knew,the difference n quit being so binary.

Read it. It's confirmation that Comey told Trump on three separate occasions he was not under investigation.

I wonder if Mueller appreciates Trump's childish taunts about his good friend.

guess we'll see

Trump clearly has never played chess, maybe checkers either

Link?

Where's the proof?

link to what knucklehead?

 

[Reasonable]

Imagine the POTUS calling his former FBI director a " nut job." Especially when there is an avalanche of examples of him being a nutjob.

Just when you think the Tramp can't sink any lower, he keeps on digging. What a disgusting vike human being he is.

Confirmation? You're kidding , right?
No one takes Tramp's word for anything.
After his 500 plus documented lies since he took office you have to be a special kind of stupid to believe anything he says.

Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner 'person of interest in Russia investigation'
Source: Independent UK

Donald Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, has reportedly been identified as a “person of interest” in the ongoing investigation into possible ties between Russia and Donald Trump’s campaign.

The Washington Post said a senior adviser to Mr Trump was among people investigators wanted to speak to. A New York magazine reporter then said the person in question was Mr Kushner, 36, who is married to Mr Trump’s eldest daughter and who flew out of Washington on Friday night to accompany the President on his first official foreign trip.

The Post said the person under investigation was close to the President, but did not identify them. However, the number of people who fit such a profile would be very small.

Yashar Ali, a contributor to New York magazine said on Twitter: “It’s Jared Kushner. Have confirmed this with four people. I’m not speculating.”

The White House did not immediately respond to calls and emails from The Independent seeking comment. The Trump Organisation, which controls the President's financial interests, also did not respond to queries.

White House officials have previously acknowledged contacts between Russian officials and Mr Kushner, as well as with Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Secretary of State Rex Tillerson.

This whole sordid administration is as dirty as hell. I wouldn't be surprised they find malfeasance on everyone close to Tramp and then they'll get the big fish.

Cummings Wants White House Docs On Trump's 'Nut Job' Comey Remarks
Source: Talking Points Memo



By MATT SHUHAM Published MAY 19, 2017 5:52 PM

The ranking Democrat on the House Oversight Committee on Friday urged Chair Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) to demand documents from the White House that show the President expressing relief to top Russian diplomats over his firing of the FBI director.

“This new report that President Trump openly admitted to the Russians that he ‘faced great pressure’ from the FBI’s criminal investigation that was ‘taken off’ when he fired Director Comey is astonishing—and extremely troubling,” Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD) said in a statement. “If these White House documents in fact exist memorializing the President’s statements to the Russians, the Oversight Committee needs to obtain copies immediately.”

Cummings’ statement came on the heels of a New York Times report that Trump told the Russian foreign minister and ambassador to the United States that he was relieved he’d gotten rid of former FBI Director James Comey.

“I just fired the head of the F.B.I. He was crazy, a real nut job,” Trump said, according to a document summarizing the meeting that was read out to the newspaper by an anonymous American official. “I faced great pressure because of Russia. That’s taken off.”

Another interesting article...

In the wake of yet another Russia-related bombshell, Trump aides despaired because they know President Trump only has himself to blame.

Hey pipsqueak, Comey accepted that letter of termination. That's factual proof with Trump's letter as evidence. On the other hand, we have zero evidence of a handwritten memo by Comey. Where is it? Who's the unnamed source who called the NY Times reporter?
