BREAKING HOT Report: Trump Asked Comey to End the Flynn Investigation

Fired FBI director James Comey just threw Democrats and MSM some red meat.

The New York Times reports:
President Trump asked the F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, to shut down the federal investigation into Mr. Trump’s former national security adviser, Michael T. Flynn, in an Oval Office meeting in February, according to a memo Mr. Comey wrote shortly after the meeting.

“I hope you can let this go,” the president told Mr. Comey, according to the memo...

Mr. Comey wrote the memo detailing his conversation with the president immediately after the meeting, which took place the day after Mr. Flynn resigned, according to two people who read the memo. The memo was part of a paper trail Mr. Comey created documenting what he perceived as the president’s improper efforts to influence a continuing investigation. An F.B.I. agent’s contemporaneous notes are widely held up in court as credible evidence of conversations.
This might do it. The Trump presidency could be over. Trump has nowhere near the skill to go up against these guys.

Now, we are going to see how tough Trump is.

  2. 10 to 1 says Trump's got that flea Comey pinned under his thumb. The best Comey can hope for is to jump away when The Donald releases the pressure. He wouldn't have sacked Comey without a failsafe. Comey must have known something about Seth Rich. The FBI confiscated Rich's laptop immediately after his death. Now we hear from a PI that Rich sent 44k emails to Wikileaks. Comey's credibility in court goes from whatever it is now to 0. Once a liar, always a liar. Maybe worse. That's why Trump told him to keep quiet.

    Game Theory experiment: Comey the Crook is fired and told to keep quiet. Comey knows he's a crook. Trump knows he's a crook. If Comey keeps quiet will Trump let him go in peace? If Comey squeaks can he get Trump before Trump gets him? What do you do if you're a career DC insider weasel and your outsider boss has you pegged to a tee?
