So tRump tells Lester Holt

[cilla4progress]

that Comey told him on 3 occasions that he was in the clear insofar as an investigation of him personally.

IF TRUE, then Comey did misstep/overstep and should be terminated for this, alone. Completely inappropriate.

What do you all think?

[spanone]

1. maybe he was lying to donald.

but you're right, if he said anything, he was wrong.

[imanamerican63]

2. I would hope Comey would have been aware of his answering that question?

Comey needs to come out and tell details!

[mainstreetonce]

3. I think the investigation is of the whole campaign which of course includes Trump.

Trump is spinning and lying

This is a big one.

[NightWatcher]

4. Now you're going to believe what trump says?

If he said UP the answer is DOWN. So I'd bet Comey didn't say shit.

[cilla4progress]

7. I work in law and it's surprising

what is said behind closed doors.

That said, by all accounts and despite his flaws, Comey is reportedly a standup guy. I don't know...how desperate could he have been to keep his job?

Best for Comey to come out and contradict if this is a lie.

[lapfog_1]

5. Don't forget.

Donald lies all the time. Lies about big things, little things... everything. Never, ever believe that he is telling you the truth.

[Shell_Seas]

6. How many times..

has Trump said something on video in front of millions, then later lied about saying it at all?

How many times has he lied about people, events, etc.?

Don't believe nothing he says. He's a liar.

I bet Comey never said no such thing to him.

[cilla4progress]

9. Yes, I suppose you are right

One thing about trump though, how he is willing to bust people who believed they are speaking to him in confidence. For example, he is going to disclose Hillary's concession call! Did he even tell her he was recording it?

Sickos!

[JustAnotherGen]

8. I believe comey over Trump

Trump is talking shit and lying like he always does.

Dont' fall for it.

But if Comey WAS at dinner with him - I wonder if he wore a wire?

[NCTraveler]

12. That is funny.

"I wonder if he wore a wire?"

[JustAnotherGen]

21. Shhhh

I'm talking about Trump. Putin's interpreter probably has a hard time translating Trumpish to English to Russian.

Like bigly - who knew it could be so hard.

[Thrill]

10. Comey never told him that

You can't believe anything Trump says. Why would you believe that?

[NCTraveler]

11. Both Trump and Comey should be unemployed.

I have zero interest in giving Comey any credit for character.

[haele]

13. Hell, why trust anything he says?

Drumpf will make up any old story on the fly just to sound like he's in charge.

I'll bet this is what Drumpf tells himself...
"They'll really be impressed and think I'm a strong leader if I told them I was able to use the force of my winningnest personality that influenced Comey to tell me what was going on, even when he wasn't supposed to. Three times, every time he met with me, he just respected me s-o-o-o much, he had to make sure I knew everything was okay, because of the fake news going on. He didn't want to even investigate Russia connections, but the Democrats and CNN kept telling him to..."

14. Well, he is such a slick, practiced liar..

it rolls off his tongue so easily.

Gaslighter-in-chief.

I did hear the dry mouth and saw his face get red.

Mr. Holt did a great job pinning him down, by the way.

[Cha]

15. First of all trump LIES.. 2nd trump

LIES.. and 3rd trump LIES.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

16. I think Trump is lying.

So does Occam's Razor.

[Jane Austin]

17. I think Trump

is a liar.

[oasis]

18. Joe Scarbourough said Republicans must treat the Trump/Comey dinner

with the same indignation they did when Bill Clinton met with Attorney General Lynch on the tarmac.

[plcdude]

19. not the same

Bill Clinton was not president at the time nor was he an integral subject of an investigation that could lead to treason. The President has in my estimation attempted to influence at best or obstruct the investigation at worse by speaking with the Director of the FBI about this investigation. I personally think if this is true (and who knows other Comey himself) that this is obstruction of justice and an impeachable offense.

[oasis]

20. Of course Trump's offense rises to a higher level. That was Scar's

point. He wants republicans to speak out at least as forcefully as they did with the Clinton/Lynch meeting.
