Comey knows there is proof. Perhaps he’s trying to appear the “honest broker” by demanding DOJ show that there is no proof, only to be “surprised.” “Sha-zam, I thought the DOJ was clean. Well, this warrants and investigation into DOJ.”
Whatever the reason, either Trump is stupid and is keeping a traitor very close, or Trump kept Comey on for a reason.
I don’t know that reason yet and Team Trump so far won’t tell me.
Do we really know anything about what Comey thinks on this?
All we have (so far as I’ve seen) is NY Times b.s. anonymous sources.
Even IF Comey is pushing behind the scenes for any DOJ statement, it may be more in the nature of a clarification or a “limited hangout” than a comprehensive denial.
