Trump Moves To Discredit Comey, McCabe; Claims Bias In Mueller Probe
The Washington Times ^ | 03/18/18 | Tom Howell Jr

Posted on 03/18/2018 10:32:27 AM PDT by Enlightened1

President Trump on Sunday used his Twitter platform to try and discredit James Comey and Andrew McCabe, whose FBI careers were cut short amid acrimony over the Russian-meddling probe and how the bureau handled probes into the Clinton family.

Both men reportedly kept memos detailing their interactions with Mr. Trump, which could factor into Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation of any ties between Russia and the Trump campaign, or fuel potential obstruction of justice charges against the president.

Mr. Trump downplayed their relevance on Twitter.

“Spent very little time with Andrew McCabe, but he never took notes when he was with me. I don’t believe he made memos except to help his own agenda, probably at a later date. Same with lying James Comey. Can we call them Fake Memos?” Mr. Trump said.

Mr. Comey, who was fired in May, told Congress he kept detailed notes on each of his interactions with Mr. Trump, including a meeting in which the president allegedly told the lawman to lay off former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn, who was ousted for misleading Vice President Mike Pence about phones calls with Russian

Nowadays the wagons circle themselves around Democrats.

Nice turn of phrase. :)

I agree with you. Trump needs to let these guys hang themselves.

Please learn to keep your mouth shut Mr. President

There is a pattern to Trumps tweets which probably make sense in the long term

If there were a serious plan on the part of the Congressional oversight to bring closure on the Mueller fiasco I would say Trumps tweets could be counter productive and odds with those efforts

I see no real desire on the part of Congress to bring closure on the Meiuller investigation, despite the serious damage Mueller and his team is doing to the country , especially in the foreign policy areas.

It seems like the underlying Congressional agenda set by the Senate and House leadership is to keep all the investigations going with the hopes of political advantage in the mid term elections and to maintain leverage against Trump with the Mueller investigation

Of course, the Republican leadership is populated with self serving sociopaths so Trump has to use all available means to defend his administration

The patient course of action is to simply wait until Mueller is discredited by his current witch hunt and indicted for his malfeasance, cover up and obstruction of justice during the Obama years

Mueller was the fixer who set the FBI as the place public corruption investigations go be covered up and die a quiet death by slow walk

Trump needs to learn to shut up and let the criminals be exposed by others.

By whom? The Republicans?

Ridiculous. There are no "others."

If Trump does not expose these criminal bastards, he will be taken out by them.

This is a fight to the death, and you are on the wrong side.

Trump needs to learn to shut up and let the criminals be exposed by others. He is not helping his own cause.

When one of the swamp creatures is outed, like McCabe, the creatures scream and howl like Godzilla in the movies when it was killed.

'W' didn't fight or do anything when he was attacked and vilified. What did keeping quiet do for him. It made way for Obama. And, Obama made way for Trump.

“Trump needs to learn to shut up and let the criminals be exposed by others.”

Perhaps if REPUBLICANS would consider DEFENDING HIM, he wouldn’t have to speak up.

I have to agree at least on this...these kinds of tweets don’t help him. He should tweet out videos of news reports and news articles which outline their illegality and let the articles / videos speak for themselves.

His wife is a pediatrician, so her income must be substantial.....if its added into the figure attributed to McCabe.

Still, $11 million annual, a Porsche and other luxury cars, and two mansions does seem extreme.

Somebody ought to check his wife’s medical income from Medicare/Aid.

What do you think things like the Nunes and Grassley memos were? The press chose not to report them. He should just link to news articles about them and videos reporting them and let them speak for themselves vs. insults which the press will report on instead of the substance of what these guys did wrong.

I wish President Trump would send things like that out instead of his personal insults / wise cracks and just let the facts speak for themselves. His tens of millions of followers would retweet and go viral, going around the press. The insults and wise cracks don’t inform people of what is going on.

He did. How many Republicans, even AFTER those memos called for an end to Mueller?
