Having thrown the Justice Department under the bus yesterday, it appears the FBI Director has not managed to pass the hot potato of blame/responsibility for Trump's wiretap accusations. As The Hill reports, a White House spokeswoman on Monday said she "doesn't think" Trump accepts Comey's denial of the president's claims.
As a reminder, a New York Times report Sunday said Comey asked the Justice Department to publicly reject the president's claims. Senior U.S. officials told the Times that Comey has said the president's wiretapping allegations are false and asked the Justice Department on Saturday to publicly correct the record. The FBI and DOJ declined to comment to the newspaper.
But, as The Hill reports, it appears President Trump is not buying Comey's denial that former President Obama wiretapped Trump Tower during the campaign.
"No, I don't think he does," Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Monday on ABC's "Good Morning America."

What's developing is really an intriguing situation. Let's say that Obama is personally responsible for breaking the law and intruding on Trump. Can he be charged and imprisoned? If he only didn't stop the law from being broken, can he be impeached after the fact?
ReplyDeleteArmed with a bloated ego, he decided to "retire" to a residence in Washington. Will that turn out to be a horrible decision? Hawaii may have been a much cooler climate to relax in.
828 yes he can be impeached after the fact. Impeachment would mean he would lose the running salary and secret service detail as well. He would become joe blow citizen again and not have any diplomatic status whatsoever.
ReplyDeleteAlso 828 word on the beat is he's been 'looking' into non-extradition countries. So that speaks volumes right there.
ReplyDeleteI'm confused?? Doesn't Comey report to President Trump? If so then WTH is he still employed by the U.S. Government?
