Trump Jr. defends his father's Comey firing by retweeting Vince Foster conspiracy theory

Donald Trump Jr. on Thursday defended his father’s decision to fire former FBI Director James Comey by retweeting a conspiracy theory about Vince Foster, the former deputy White House counsel in the Clinton administration who took his own life in 1993.

Specifically, Trump retweeted a conspiracy theory written by the pro-Trump Twitter account @StockMonsterUSA, which wrote that “President Clinton fired his FBI director” just one day before “Vince Foster was found dead in Marcy Park.”



Foster’s death was initially ruled a suicide, and subsequent investigations into his death — including one by Whitewater special prosecutor Ken Starr — also concluded that Foster had taken his own life.

President Bill Clinton fired former FBI Director William Sessions in 1993 amid charges of corruption, including an internal FBI ethics report that slammed his conduct. During his tenure as head of the FBI, Sessions was not overseeing any investigations related to the Clintons, whereas Comey at the time of his firing was overseeing an investigation into whether the Trump campaign colluded with Russian intelligence agencies during the 2016 presidential election.

1. Good god.

What a demented family...

[Gothmog]

2. Don Jr. is just as big of an idiot as his dad

[Moostache]

13. He is a BIGGER idiot...

He is the carbon copy of a copy...a pale echo of bombast and privilege that is quaking in his boots that daddy is destroying his only currency in life...the family 'name' / 'brand'. Once Trump is dragged out of the Oval Office in chains, the Trump name will be a bigger scarlet letter than anything Hawthorne dreamed up!

Get ready to hear about Ivanka Kushner...

3. I wish these people would just go away, already.

4. Brain dead clown.

The Trumps keep going lower and lower with dumber and dumber bullshit.

5. The Trumps

6. Junior would appear to be at the same intellect level as his father -

MORAN. (that being the Rethuglican spelling of course)

[aquamarina]

7. I was wondering when we would start hearing

from the progeny. They don't disappoint.

[highplainsdem]

8. Jr. is a stupid, malevolent parroter of alt-right and conspiracy-theory nonsense.

Very much like Flynn's idiot son in that respect.

[mreilly]

9. So what this idiot is saying....

.... is that Presidents fire FBI directors when they (President) are guilty of massive crimes. Which means Trump reeks of shit.

All righty, then! Thanks for clarifying, Dumbass Don!

10. What a clueless and dangerous family

[Greensix1]

11. Republicans can't make up their minds

Republicans can't make up their minds. One day, it's Hilary had an affair with Foster. The very next day, it's Hilary is a lesbian. Which one is it dogs? It can't be both, so it's more than likely neither.

12. Yes I was seeing this talking point posted in "comments" sections all over the place yesterday!

I couldn't believe it. His supporters are doubling down they are not phased by this in the least! They love that Trump is "fucking with us libtards"!

[LiberalLovinLug]

18. All they need is some counter story that has minor elements that bare a resemblence

You see it all the time. Kelly Anne Conway with her "Obama had the same Muslim ban" (because he temporarily suspended immigration after concerns and made the vetting process more difficult).

What is maddening is that this simple plan always works on his idiot deplorable base. That's why they keep doing it. It makes no difference if the "fake" CNN and MSNBC and NY Times tell them the next day that it was a false narrative, a false equivalency. It is now seared into their heads that the Clintons were actually worse; they didn't just fire an investigator they had him murdered.

His adoring deplorables are handed their scripts after every new scandal breaks. They are handed their daily ammunition to scream back into the faces of libtards either in person or in all-caps on message boards and comment sections. Their righteous anger is forever fed with new hot coals to sustain their desperate need to always think they are right and never make mistakes.

[m-lekktor]

19. yep. I know better than to think they would ever turn on him for any reason. nt

[Paladin]

14. Nice job, junior. Keep up the good work.

Sincerely,


Every Democrat In The Country

[procon]

15. The whole Trump clan is nothing but a bunch of drooling idiots! nt

[Egnever]

16. So is he saying his dad did the same thing and since he thinks Clinton did it too it's ok?

Seems like the only thing that tweet does is point out the similarities of his dads actions to another conspiracy.

[WinkyDink]

20. "investigations... including one by Whitewater special prosecutor Ken Starr...." THREE YEARS.

21. Junior better move over, Daddy's coming back to run the company.

What's left of it,anyway. Daddy's resignation is on the horizon.

22. Proving once again how well the "Uday and Qusay" label fits

No presidential offspring has remotely approached the sociopath status of Donald and Eric.
