Can anyone actually believe that Trump had ANY other reason to fire Comey than to squelch the Russian investigation? And make this gloating statement directly to the Russians?
I don't know why, but every time I read the attributed quote I chuckle. We have quite the mess on our hands.

He wants someone loyal to him and Comey didn't fit the bill so out he went. Telling the Russians this is so Trump.

LOL Fantastic job. I really can't tell who is being sarcastic anymore. Please tell me this is just sarcasm because 65% of the country disagrees with you.

Are you not getting that the White House is NOT denying that this story is true? If anyone is doing a "hit job" on Trump it's his own mouth and lack of judgement.

You would think people would understand this by now. But, as we all know, the media's/left's agenda is not to understand him or get clarification before they start spinning. Their agenda is to pick apart everything he says does and apply the most negative spin they can come up with.

It still remains, that anyone with half a brain would know what he meant.

Only stupid people have to have everything literally spelled out for them syllable by syllable.
Let the transcript speak for itself!!!

(just like his twitter)

When we don't parse his words, cons get upset.
When we DO parse his words, cons get upset.

Or a recording.
I am sure the Russians probably have a recording.

I don't think he is aware enough of the realm he is dealing with not undestand much of anything at this point.
He seems reilant on others input to tell him these things.

Unfortunately trump sets himself up for this type of thing. He can't commend leaks for others and then condemn them when they involve himself or people close to him.

The blatant hypocrisy he shows towards certain aspects of things outweighs any credibility he has when he attempts to show or pin it on others behaviors or actions.
