The FBI is trying to pretend they really believed Trump fired Comey on Russian orders rather than over Comey’s J. Edgar Hoover-type extortion scheme he pulled on Trump with the fake foreign dossier and launching this whole fake investigation of him in the first place.

Give me a break. These men knew they were lying. Their pretending to believe Trump did a single goddamn thing on behalf of Russia was and is nothing but a pretext to launch this criminal attempt to “rein in” the elected president of the United States.

This is nothing but some hasty CYA falling way too short.
