WASHINGTON — The F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, asked the Justice Department this weekend to publicly reject President Trump’s assertion that President Barack Obama ordered the tapping of Mr. Trump’s phones, senior American officials said on Sunday. Mr. Comey has argued that the highly charged claim is false and must be corrected, they said, but the department has not released any such statement.
Mr. Comey made the request on Saturday after Mr. Trump leveled his allegation on Twitter. Mr. Comey has been working to get the Justice Department to knock down Mr. Trump’s claim because there is no evidence to support it and it insinuates that the F.B.I. broke the law, the officials said.
A spokesman for the F.B.I. declined to comment. Sarah Isgur Flores, the spokeswoman for the Justice Department, also declined to comment.

Comey hasn’t called Trump anything. Comey himself has not made any statements. NYT is using ‘senior officials’.
So true. Giuliani for special prosecutor. This is why he is not Trump’s AG. Trump knew his skill set would be needed shortly after the inauguration. Bring it.
We all know what Trump is talking about.
Trump has to have evidence or he’s just committed political suicide. He’s unorthodox as hell, but he isn’t stupid.
But here’s the thing that I don’t get. This is not something that should be hard to find out....immediately.
It either happened or didn’t.
My head hurts.
“You know... boy, I hate to say this, but President Trump really needs to come out and explain EXACTLY what’s going on here, because everyone’s anxiety level has risen about three notches because of this.”
The installation of Barry Soetoro by Soros and the muslim brotherhood was a coup. 8 years to corrupt every agency in the federal gubbermint.
Trump’s run was a counter coup. He won the election but the marxist muslim cabal are refusing to give up their ill gotten gains.
Feel any better? /s
Do you mean Doug Wead, Game of Thorns?
I just got the book.
Exactly. WTH? Are they different than the senior Ethiopian officials they usually pretend to not really quote.
The article is all crap based on “stuff” some “people” supposedly, kinda said.
As this flows, and people are exposed, their momentum is stalling. Hence Trump blowing the media doors off with his wiretap allegations. The lying opposition will be spending their days trying covering their own butts as they head for the tall grass.
What is your reasoning for waiting to fire Comey ..??
In my opinion, this is the perfect time. Such betrayal cannot be tolerated.
You are so right. I am as anxious as a cat trying to cover its poo on a marble floor! This entire weekend has been non stop anxiety.
Fake News.
The FISA warrant that was finally granted was the admin’s third attempt. They were rejected twice in non FISA courts. Trump’s name won’t appear anywhere on it. FISA only applies to foreigners. Someone had to commit perjury to get that warrant.
“I am as anxious as a cat trying to cover its poo on a marble floor!”
LMAO at that visual.
Knowing Trump is about to put a match to the “tall grass” they’re hiding in, there’s absolutely nothing they won’t do in attempts to save their sorry arses - herein lies great danger to us all.
This is my fear, that’s there’s enough Obama (probably 90%) in intelligence to fake evidence, that there are enough Dem moles (aka GOPe) to impeach. Everyone tells me I’m overreacting but didn’t Comey spend a couple of hours in Graham’s office yesterday?
Scares the bejesus out of me.
The stuff is hitting the fan.
Absolutely. Lets see the GD application to secure the warrants!
