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.
