The FBI says it was unable to locate any photos of former FBI Director James Comey and special counsel Robert Mueller “hugging and kissing” after President Trump claimed he could provide 100 such images.

BuzzFeed News reporter Jason Leopold on Tuesday shared the Department of Justice's response to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request he filed with the bureau asking for photographs of Mueller and Comey “hugging and kissing each other.”

The FBI said in response that its search did not turn up any records corresponding with Leopold's request.

The bureau noted that there are three categories of law enforcement and national security records protected from FOIA requests, but added that the disclosure “should not be taken as an indication that excluded records do, or do not, exist."

Comey, who was fired as FBI director in May 2017, joked on Tuesday that his wife was "so relieved" to hear the results.

1. So, how much time and money did the FBI have to waste on this fucking bullshit,

when they could have been doing their actual jobs?

[jberryhill]

2. That's what the FOIA department is for

Responding to FOIA requests is every government agency's job.

6. Yes. I know what FOIA is for.

But, it was still a waste of time and money.

3. I have a tough time picturing Mueller hugging anybody

I mean, I'm sure he's a nice guy, but he definitely doesn't look like a hugger.

4. They're probably filed right next to

the photos and videos of Muslims celebrating on the roof tops in Manhattan after the Twin Towers fell.

[Mr.Bill]

7. And the people rioting to get out of California

sanctuary cities.

[MontanaMama]

9. I forgot about those!!

18. Or Trump graduating from Wharton School of Bidness.

5. The solution is simple

Call Fox Noise or James O'Keefe. They'll fake anything if it advances the extremist right.

11. I really think he is off his rocker

To many rallies, and to much of whatever he takes to keep him going at this rallies is taking a toll on his brain, and there wasn't much of a brain there to begin with.

13. He's a malignant narcissist...

his drug is adulation. That's what keeps him going at his rallies.

12. It's probably in the same storage locker as the video of "thousands or Muslims"....

....celebrating in the streets of Jersey City on November 11, 2001.

14. Our government has been reduced to this

[world wide wally]

15. NEWSFLASH!

Trump is a liar.

[AdamGG]

16. There are very few days since he's been in office that he hasn't told multiple blatant lies

[BobTheSubgenius]

17. I have a sneaking suspicion.

I'm beginning to think this is less of a Joaquin Phoenixesque performance art piece and more the cry for help of a deeply disturbed man.

[pdsimdars]

19. People have to stop wasting time chasing every lie Trump says

It diverts attention from real issues.

20. Trump is a lazy liar.

If he had use a smaller number, like 7 or even 3, he would have been credible.

21. Think there are a few of Trump and Putin?
