President Trump on Friday accused James B. Comey, the former F.B.I. director, of lying under oath to Congress in testimony that the president dismissed as a politically motivated proceeding.
Mr. Trump also asserted that Mr. Comey’s comments on Thursday, in which the former F.B.I. director implied that the president fired him for pressing forward with the Russia investigation, had failed to prove any collusion between the Trump campaign and Moscow nor any obstruction of justice.
“Yesterday showed no collusion, no obstruction,” Mr. Trump said in the White House Rose Garden, during a news conference with the visiting Romanian president. “That was an excuse by the Democrats, who lost an election they shouldn’t have lost,” he said. “It was just an excuse, but we were very, very happy, and frankly, James Comey confirmed a lot of what I said, and some of the things that he said just weren’t true.”

Hopefully tarred and feathered...he will look like Big Bird!
You can bet your bippy that the whole thing is on tape!
Exactly! I always think of poor Martha Stewart...put in jail by the FBI for an honest mistake!

You can take that to the bank! Rush is the last of the Old Reliable Sources!
Now...is this "inside baseball"....or did you just make this one up?
