Republicans Insist Donald Trumps Request To James Comey Wasnt Serious
Some Republicans ― including an unnamed White House official ― maintained on Wednesday that Trump was merely joking when he told Comey to lay off of Flynn, who was fired earlier this year over his conversations with Russian officials before the presidents inauguration.
The argument that Trump merely made a casual request to Comey to drop the investigation of Flynn is also suspicious given that Trump later fired Comey. The explanation for his ouster is still unclear ― the president and his top aides have offered contradictory accounts of their reasoning on the matter.
Its absolutely absurd the president supposedly made such a comment and director Comey sat on it for three months, Miller said Tuesday on CNN.
He added: Its a little bit weird and vindictive on Comeys part that he had a little diary that he could play gotcha with.
Everyone, he wasn't cereal! It was just casually!
