I think he lied when Gohmert asked him if he had spoken to Comey in the 6 months prior to Comey’s firing and Mulehead answered no. Also he would not admit they friends only work colleagues.
Gohmert said “spoke to”. They probably didn’t communicate directly. The mob and spies use cut outs all the time. And of course look how Hillary Clinton used her law firm. No doubt Mueller was in communication with Comey through his law firm.
Spoke to does NOT eQual Texting, email, or cutout as you say
