“Comey deliberately refused to say in public what he acknowledged repeatedly in private that the President of the United States was not under investigation. He even noted in his memos that he told the president at least three times that he was not under investigation. Comeys refusal to admit publicly what he kept telling people privately led to his firing.”
“That led to Comey leaking multiple memos in order to get a special counsel appointed out of revenge. That special counsel has utterly distracted multiple agencies and embroiled all three branches of government at the highest levels. All over a document that was secretly funded by Hillary Clinton and the DNC, contracted by a Democrat research firm with ties to the Kremlin, and authored by a shady foreign spy whose relationship with the FBI was terminated because he lied to them.”
The dossier may have been secretly funded, but its funding has been public knowledge for a long time. Any defense based on a claim that someone didnt know how it was funded is a lie (an attempt to deceive.)
