Trump Tells Lester Holt I Was Going To Fire Comey Anyway (With Video)

Thursday, May 11, 2017 11:10

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

President Trump told NBC’s Lester Holt that he was going to fire James Comey no matter what AG Sessions and Deputy AG Rosenstein recommended because he was a showboat. No wonder why Chuck Schumer is so riled about the firing. After all they are birds of a feather, the party leader who supposedly represents New York State, is arguably the biggest showboat in Congress.

“I was going to fire Comey,” Trump told NBC News’ Lester Holt in an interview. “Regardless of the recommendation I was going to fire Comey.”

“Look, he’s a showboat, he’s a grandstander, the FBI has been in turmoil. You know that, I know that. Everybody knows that. You take a look at the FBI a year ago, it was in virtual turmoil, less than a year ago — it hasn’t recovered from that,”

But if that is the case, why did the White House press office say it was because he screwed up the handling of the Clinton Case, and the recommendation of Deputy AG Ron Rosenstein. I would love to know who came up with the fake excuse.

Trump also said he didn’t want the FBI to “lay off” the investigation of Russian involvement and possible involvement of his campaign.

Asked by Holt if by firing Comey he was trying to send a “lay off” message to his successor, Trump said, “I’m not.”

“If Russia did anything, I want to know that,” he said.

But Trump also insisted there was no “collusion between me and my campaign and the Russians.”

“Also, the Russians did not affect the vote,” he said.

Trump also described one of the times Comey told him he was under investigation:

“I actually asked him” if I were under investigation, Trump said, noting that he spoke with Comey once over dinner and twice by phone.

“I said, if it’s possible would you let me know, ‘Am I under investigation?’ He said, ‘You are not under investigation.’”

Below is a video of the interview segment:
