As another bombshell story is thrown onto the pile this time reporting that former FBI Director James Comey claimed that President Donald Trump told him to close an investigation into Mike Flynn Fox News has struggled to get Republicans on air to defend the president.
According to the Times report, Comey said Trump told him: I hope you can let this go, and I hope you can see your way clear to letting this go, to letting Flynn go. He is a good guy. I hope you can let this go.
In the wake of the shocking report, Fox News scrambled to get Republican lawmakers on air to defend the president but theyre apparently in short supply.
As Fox host Bret Baier noted on Special Report Tuesday night, weve tried tonight to get Republicans to come out and talk to us, and there are not Republicans willing to go on camera tonight as of yet.
And well see if that changes, Baier added.

We can only hope.

from the press--even friendly, TRUMPRAVDA, and actually doing the right thing by appointing a non-partisan Special Prosecutor to actually get to the bottom of this entire clusterfuck.
We'll see, but I just don't think they have wil will or the guts. If they want to drag this out, fine. If they stall long enough, maybe we'll have a Democratic Congress & might even get that Democratic president we should've had since January 20.
I'm hoping right along with you, though.
