MY goodness!
NOW the big question is " Was it appropriate for Trump to ask Comey if he is under investigation" seems to be now the latest controversy worthy of impeachment!
When will these people especially the MSM step back and look at the ridiculousness of this!

Why in the first place is it inappropriate to ask a question of ANYONE?
What crime is committed by asking the simple question " Am I under investigation"?
Now it is up to the person who is being asked to be responsible for the answer.
But it has NOTHING criminal/law breaking to ask the question!!!

BUT here we have CNN.... once again bashing Trump!

Can you imagine how tough a spot Comey was in? The President of the United States -- your boss and the guy who can fire you -- directly breaks protocol by asking whether he's under investigation. Even as an active investigation goes on into Russia's attempts to influence your campaign and the presidential race more broadly? Not sure that whatever Comey actually said -- and we have yet to hear from him -- is exactly the sort of full-scale absolution that Trump is casting it as.
4. Comey allies have insisted Trump is wrong. This, from a Wall Street Journal piece that ran Thursday, speaks to that point:
Mr. Comey's associates also denied the claim made by Mr. Trump, in his letter firing Mr. Comey, that the director told him on three occasions that he wasn't under investigation. They said Mr. Comey never gave Mr. Trump any such guidance, which would violate longstanding policies on criminal investigations. "That is literally farcical," said one associate.
Donald Trump insisted Comey exonerated him. Not exactly... - CNNPolitics.com
 
So according to Trump, Comey was asking to stay on as Director of the FBI, essentially a job interview. Trump says he asked Comey if he was under investigation... by the person now under consideration for keeping his job!

Oh sure, nothing wrong there! Really? How about obstruction of justice!

Where did you get "Comey was asking to stay on as Director"????
What is your source?
 
Trump has lied so much it is difficult to know if anything he says is true or even a sensible thought. The man is a moron, there is no question of that, it is fact. For those who are not Trump groupies see links.

Where is your source that Trump asked Comey to stay on AFTER he asked if Comey if he( Trump) was under investigation?
 
GEEZ what really is happening is the rapid deterioration of the MSM credibility!
Millions of people are NOW watching the MSM outright LIE!!!
Once again the BIASED MSM at doing what they do.... LIE!!!
READ the following:

WASHINGTON (Sinclair Broadcast Group) -
Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein said he's not quitting, nor did he threaten to quit over his role in the firing of FBI Director James Comey.

When asked by Sinclair Broadcast Group's Michelle Macaluso about reports that claim otherwise, he stated "no, I'm not quitting."

Macaluso: Did you threaten to quit?

Rosenstein: No.

The Washington Post reported Wednesday night that "Rosenstein threatened to resign after the narrative emerging from the White House on Tuesday evening cast him as a prime mover of the decision to fire Comey," citing an unnamed source close to the White House.

Other reporters on Capitol Hill also stated he was upset at the administration over the matter.

Deputy AG Rosenstein: 'I'm not quitting,' didn't threaten to quit over Comey firing
 
GEEZ what really is happening is the rapid deterioration of the MSM credibility!

You snowflakes are sure getting shrill- now that your beloved leader is getting raked over the coals for his outright lies.

Why you do blame the media for Trump's lies?
 
citing an unnamed source close to the White House.

Kind of like the "30 officials"!!!
