This is a transparent effort to rehabilitate Comey's reputation now that he's become a left-wing martyr. All of his errors in judgment - as outlined in the Rosenstein memo - will now be blamed on the Russians, exonerating Comey and casting a shadow on Trump, who had nothing whatsoever to do with any of it.

That would certainly be true if DJT was an ordinary Republican, but he isn't.

The whole thing is comedy fodder for him, once the facts come into more focus.

My first question on this story is how a supposedly Russian-sourced document about a private conversation between Clinton and Lynch, out on the tarmac, got into the FBI’s hands in the first place. This whole story has a bad smell about it; it sounds like disinformation, and the timing of its release is very suspect.
