The NYT (#FakeNews) Snippet in question:
WASHINGTON The F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, asked the Justice Department this weekend to publicly reject President Trumps assertion that President Barack Obama ordered the tapping of Mr. Trumps 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, who made the request on Saturday after Mr. Trump leveled his allegation on Twitter, has been working to get the Justice Department to knock down the claim because it falsely insinuates that the F.B.I. broke the law, the officials said.
Joe De Genova and Jay Sekulow,on with Hannity, are laying this at Comey’s feet. They’re not saying that Obama didn’t know, oh, he knew but that Comey did his best to interfere in the election. De Genova thinks he’s a mental case.
