WASHINGTON The F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, asked the Justice Department this weekend to publicly reject President Trumps assertion that President Barack Obama ordered the tapping of Mr. Trumps phones, senior American officials said on Sunday. Mr. Comey has argued that the highly charged claim is false and must be corrected, they said, but the department has not released any such statement.
Mr. Comey made the request on Saturday after Mr. Trump leveled his allegation on Twitter. Mr. Comey has been working to get the Justice Department to knock down Mr. Trumps claim because there is no evidence to support it and it insinuates that the F.B.I. broke the law, the officials said.
A spokesman for the F.B.I. declined to comment. Sarah Isgur Flores, the spokeswoman for the Justice Department, also declined to comment.

This anarchist stuff is the last costume of her role as Holder’s patsy to cover up the taps. He dirtied her up by engineering her meeting with WJC on the tarmac, left town, and her blood & burn video is to cement her as the goat.

You think the UNIPARTY wants to show all their cards after decades of building an illusion of representative government?
Comey needs to recuse hisself.
Is Comey saying that the FISA court didn’t issue a surveillance order on Trump Tower? And if he isn’t, and the court did issue the order, DJT is correct, right? Is it all this simple?
The Attorney General runs the Justice Dept now
What’s backwards about that?
You missed my point.
Lynch let Comey decide about HRC’s crimes
What’s important about that NYT story is that it gets Trump off the hook if any of the story turns out to be wrong. Nobody would fault him for saying something that had already been printed in the Times.
McCabe should have departed on 1/20/2017 at High Noon.
At any rate, I haven’t heard the word ‘Russians’ in 36hours on FNC. lol
Either side has to prove it to be believed. And whichever one does not have their ducks in a row is sunk.

This is evil! All departments are politicized.
Trump will watch this play out and see who sides with Obama. Smoking them out. So unnerving to go through this again. I guess its the only way to shine a light on it and stamp it out. More prayers for Trump to guide and guard his path.
If I spoke Jive, I’d step in and try to translate :)
Doesn’t negate the president’s claim Trump Tower was bugged. Just who he claims ordered it. If the investigation leads back to Obama, Comey MUST be fired.
Drudge is honestly captioning the NYT article. If these “senior American officials” are legitimate, then Drudge is merely paraphrasing/highlighting the gist of the article. But it’s more likely that Drudge is creating a situation in which the NYT’s sources will once again be discredited. That would be a service to us all.
It was very good. Mark knows his stuff having been in a few key positions in the Reagan White House.
