Trump claims he didn’t fire Comey because of Russian Federation investigation
“To the truth”, he said.
Comey’s memoir released on Tuesday, “A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies and Leadership”, describes conversations he had with Trump before he was sacked in which the president seemed to pressure him over the Russian Federation investigation.
This is my common sense opinion of who is the likely liar in this matter: What possible motive would Comey have to lie about being told by the president that, “I hopeyou can see your way clear to letting this go”. I’ve been gone for a year.
At some stores, however, early sales of Comey’s book were slower than Wolff’s blockbuster.
According to CNN, Flatiron Books, an imprint of publishing giant Macmillan, has printed an initial 850,000 copies, and expects to print more. “And by the way, not that this matters, but I found his hands to be above average in size, and so I’m not making fun of the man, I’m trying to tell the reader what’s in my head”.
“What happens if [Special Counsel Robert] Mueller gets fired”, Colbert asked.
In the ABC News interview, Comey offered a scathing judgment about whether Trump is qualified to serve as president, saying that he believes Trump is “morally unfit” to serve in the nations highest office. And I think the reaction of most of us was, “Meh, that’s another one of those things”.
The former Federal Bureau of Investigation director sipped red wine out of a paper cup while commiserating with “Late Show” host Stephen Colbert about the infamous firing and the chaotic months that followed.
Americans also think it’s possible Russian Federation will seek to interfere in the US elections again this November, the poll indicates, and that Congress hasn’t done enough to stop that from happening – though Republicans overwhelmingly don’t believe that is a possibility. On Wednesday morning, he’ll be on ABC’s “The View”.
Tuesday night, Comey appeared on Stephen Colbert’s late night show, saying his termination came as a surprise. “Is it invisibility or flight?” and “Are you a cop?”
Still, those who’d blame Comey for giving us Trump are missing a fundamental point: If Clinton hadn’t run such a bad campaign, she’d have had a lead that wouldn’t have been so tenuous.
The core of the interview could be surmised within Comey’s upcoming autobiography, titled: “A Higher Loyalty”, which touches on his own personal leadership experiences and delves into the details regarding his encounters with the 45 President of the United States. Ratings reports on Monday showed that Colbert averaged 4 million viewers in the first quarter of 2018, which amounts to a 20% spike compared to 2017 and a staggering 1.2 million more viewers than rival Jimmy Fallon.
Comey, who was sacked by the USA leader in May 2017, describes Trump in the book as “morally unfit” for office, as a compulsive liar who threatens fundamental American values. That list now numbers more than 2,000, and it surely isn’t going to end there. If you want to make America great again, the law-enforcer-in-chief has to be able to settle scores by publicly accusing someone of a crime who hasn’t been charged. “Just nothing in HR”.
