https://politicalwire.com/2017/03/21/white-house-doesnt-know-extent-fbi-investigation/"SNIP...........
Just two hours before FBI Director James Comey testified before Congress, a White House official told Ryan Lizza that Comey would confirm that Trump campaign officials had no contact with Russia.
The large gap between what the White House believed about the F.B.I. investigation and the actual facts of that investigation reveals several things. First, Comey has been successful in concealing details from Trumps closest advisers. One of the reasons that Trump and the White House have been exuding a smokescreen of misinformation is because they are as clueless about what Comey knows as everyone else is.
In fact, there are very few officials who understand the true extent of the investigation.

Reince Preibus apparently didn't know (or didn't care) that it wasn't permitted for him to contact the FBI Director directly. It's not surprising that they wouldn't have a clue about the extent or scope of the FBI's inquiry, or any of the details. President of the United States isn't an entry level job.

and will continue to stonewall Congress and the press until he leaves office.
