Trump saying Comey' s performance in hearing was "so poor," "that's why Rosenstein fired him"

[anneboleyn]

Here we go again folks. Trump just said this live at presser with Colombian president Santos. Trump saying Comey's performance at the hearing was "so so poor" that Rosenstein decided to fire him. Isn't this yet another new reason?

[Saboburns]

1. Rosenstein broke an hour ago that he was aware Comey was to be fired before he wrote the memo

Delicious.

2. wait--who fired him???

It just never ends.

3. ...that *Rosenstein* decided to fire him?

Didn't Dolt 45 just tell Lester Holt last week that HE decided to fire Comey? He can't keep his own stories straight from one day to the next.

5. That is exactly what Trump just said -- that Rosenstein "had to fire" Comey. He can't keep his story

straight. The look on his face said everything -- he hates Comey with a passion as Comey wouldn't obey him.

9. "hate Comey with a passion"

And yet he wouldn't be in office without Comey's October Surprise.

4. Seriously he's a despicable

lunatic. Rosenstein is not taking the fall for the Con.

6. LOL, I hope none of my employees decide to fire me!

Wait, does this mean Pence or Jared can fire Trumpy?

[cynatnite]

7. Okay, so that's reason number three...

First it was because of being mean to Hillary

Then it was because he was thinking about Russia

And now this one.

8. Remember last week when Sheldon Whitehouse was on Rachel

He was trying to come up with an explanation for why Rosenstein drafted that letter. The timing made absolutely no sense. Last week, everyone was focused on Rosenstein. I hope that, from now on, if there are any weird/idiotic happenings congress and the MSM begin questioning tRump right off the bat instead of looking for a scapegoat.

10. Did Trump add "believe me"? This sounds like the kind of lie he'd need to buttress with that (nt)

11. Like a magic 8 ball
