President Trump told Russian officials in the Oval Office this month that firing the F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, had relieved “great pressure” on him, according to a document summarizing the meeting.
“I just fired the head of the F.B.I. He was crazy, a real nut job,” Mr. Trump said, according to the document, which was read to The New York Times by an American official. “I faced great pressure because of Russia. That’s taken off.”
Mr. Trump added, “I’m not under investigation.”
The conversation, during a May 10 meeting — the day after he fired Mr. Comey — reinforces the notion that Mr. Trump dismissed him primarily because of the bureau’s investigation into possible collusion between his campaign and Russian operatives. Mr. Trump said as much in one televised interview, but the White House has offered changing justifications for the firing.
The White House document that contained Mr. Trump’s comments was based on notes taken from inside the Oval Office and has been circulated as the official account of the meeting. One official read quotations to The Times, and a second official confirmed the broad outlines of the discussion.

If they impeach Trump they’ll be up shit creek.
How will they hide from 60 million super super pissed Americans?
Really? So what if it’s true. Give it up skunks!
I agree. He’s been doing it for some time. I’m beginning to think they have gotten to him like they did Fox. Can’t stand his page anymore.
AMEN TO THAT!
Well you know...just like Jill Stein said...someone could have possibly hacked the voting machines with floppy discs. lol
A Mexican drug lord has a controlling interest in the NYT ...... nothing written spewing out of ‘the gray lady’ should be given any credit anymore.....
sounds like the NYT has already impeached and removed Trump from office, ....”Mr” Trump ? ....not President Trump ?
I think it’s the Russians, lol. They seem to have more ties to the Dems that anyone in the Trump White House.
>sounds like the NYT has already impeached and removed Trump from office, ....”Mr” Trump ? ....not President Trump ?
They’re assuming, just like I am that Trump’s removal is set in stone once that rat Rosenstein appointed a SP. Damn Jeff Sessions for recusing himself. An honorable man has destroyed the republic.
there is absolutely NO evidence that there is/ was/ will be , any interloping or so-called collusion between Trump and the russians. It is absolute fantasy A perfect anology would be if someone saw you using the ATM at the bank today and then asked the police to open an investigation into your robbery attempt, thats how lucicrous this all is, and it seems to be working great, even you are buying it
The NY Times has ZERO credibility.
Their “Comey memo” story is based on the claims of a blogger - a blogger who is married to a top Clinton advisor.
NY Times is the home of FAKE NEWS.
Did Pres. Trump actually say NUT JOB? NO This NEW SERVICE days are numbered..
I don’t believe Trump is stupid enough to think he’s free of a Russian investigation just cause Comey is gone. I don’t think he really said that.
“broad outlines of the discussion.”
If it’s not fake news,let’s just say we’re using artistic license. - NYT.

Look at the Russian hooker story the media ran with, and people still believe their BS.
Just more jackoffs whispering in the ear of the lying media so they can say “sources”
