Trump today with Lester Holt on Comey
"I was gonna fire regardless of recommendation"

Sooo I guess it wasn't due to the Assistant AG report?

For example, go look at the headlines of CNN and Fox News right now.

CNN's headline is talking about the new acting FBI director in the hearing today and what he actually said in the meeting. "New FBI Head contradicts White House on Comey" <- This actually happened, you can watch the hearing on CSPAN.

Fox News is talking about how the new acting director might investigate Hillary's email but the source is an ex-agent with the FBI. This was not a part of the hearing that is going on right now and the title misleads the public on purpose. "FRESH LOOK FROM FBI? New bureau boss could revisit Clinton probe, immunity deals" <- While this may be true, this is not what is actually happening and is an opinion from an ex-agent

Other news article headlines on Fox are about Obama, slamming Dems over the investigation, and complaining about the cost of the investigation.

TL;DR. Watch and believe Fox News? Congrats, you are a delusional brainwashed idiot.

Because the Assistant AG threatened to resign if Trump tried to pin the firing on him.

Just another pile of lies from the liar in chief.

Who's surprised at this being true?

Not sure I expected Trump to come out and SAY it, but the man doesn't seem to be the sort who takes the counsel of others much.

Oh, I agree.
Still, it contradicts the line from the WH the last 48 hours.

Exactly.

Let's get Donald Trump under oath. He would be impeached and removed from office before the day ends. This is the person the GOP supports and condones.

I'm inclined to believe that this is the result of growing up around too many yes men. If you're used to contradicting yourself without consequence, I would imagine this is how you would act.

That is the investigation and so far, there is no fire, but a ton of smoke. The fall of Flynn and what he knew and his ties to Russia are a red flag that deserve further investigation.
Did Russia hack the election on election day, no, but did they hack the DNC and use Wikileaks as the outlets for the emails, yes. Did anyone in the Trump campaign know...not sure...
I find it amusing that people still are concerned with Russian hackers influencing the election. When the media says influencing the election, what they really mean is exposing Hillary's private server that she used to improperly handle classified information, and then she obstructed justice by deleting the emails after a subpoena was issued that those emails be handed over.

Also, don't forget the emails that detailed how the democratic party fucked Bernie and how the dnc chairman gave Hillary the questions prior to the debate.

But yeah, let's just call that interfering with the election.

Like when Hillary tried to pretend the Benghazi attack was due to a YouTube video? And then when questioned about it said "at this point, what difference does it make?"

Why does the "unbiased" media ignore that?

The Russians hacked both the RNC and DNC. They released only emails that were harmful to the DNC and still possess the RNC emails. The Russians were wanting a Trump victory and you support and condone this interference.

The media didn't ignore it. Sure they probably didn't have Hannity up there blabbing about it on a daily basis but they still reported on it. Just because the "left" media isn't as extreme as the right wing nut jobs doesn't mean they aren't reporting the news correctly.

from the venerable CNN:
Comey said there was no sign "that the Trump campaign or the current RNC was successfully hacked."

Pretty much false.

They only hacked older non-used domains of the RNC and some state level stuff. According to Jim Comey in his January testimony, there "was no sign that the Trump campaign or the current RNC was successfully hacked."

They only got through some older domains that weren't being used, and a couple state-level sites.

Comey later added that "there was evidence of hacking directed at state-level organizations, state-level campaigns, and the RNC, but old domains of the RNC, meaning old emails they weren't using. None of that was released."
Sorry!

The domains weren't being used, dude. What would be there for them to release? They failed to breach the main RNC computers.

Derp on.

They still had the option to release or not release. They chose to release and it benefited Trump.

And that doesn't change the fact that the RNC was hacked as well.

Who gives a fuck if they had the option. They weren't lying. It's all true. And team Democrat wants to act like they have been wronged by having their dirty laundry aired.

This is like a wife finding text messages on her husband's phone from his mistress and he gets upset because she didn't trust him.

Sleeper has bashed Republicans for caring more about the source of Trump's leaks than what those leaks revealed. He continues to put party over country. That is traitorous and treasonous

Or it was just out-of-date and boring....nothing incriminating like the corrupt Blabbermouthshultz DNC. Honestly, are ANY women in the DNC not bat-shit crazy?

The irony of course that you probably support the Republicans asking about the leaks rather than the content of the leaks. The leaks weren't lying!

Careful, your bias is showing.
