here’s what I bet happened: The WH got a call from CNN wanting a comment on the leak that Flynn had been cleared by the FBI for the ambassador calls. Trump wanted to close-door ask Comey if that was true, CNN was going to run a story that Flynn had been cleared. The next day CNN runs their story, confirming the NYPost story of Jan 24.
Comey’s a liar.
Comey has been a liar since I can remember. Marc Rich.
