The ranking Democrat on the House Oversight Committee on Friday urged Chair Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) to demand documents from the White House that show the President expressing relief to top Russian diplomats over his firing of the FBI director.
This new report that President Trump openly admitted to the Russians that he faced great pressure from the FBIs criminal investigation that was taken off when he fired Director Comey is astonishingand extremely troubling, Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD) said in a statement. If these White House documents in fact exist memorializing the Presidents statements to the Russians, the Oversight Committee needs to obtain copies immediately.
Cummings statement came on the heels of a New York Times report that Trump told the Russian foreign minister and ambassador to the United States that he was relieved hed gotten rid of former FBI Director James Comey.
I just fired the head of the F.B.I. He was crazy, a real nut job, Trump said, according to a document summarizing the meeting that was read out to the newspaper by an anonymous American official. I faced great pressure because of Russia. Thats taken off.

(218 posts)Mr. Comey is really really really angry.
So angry that he's boiling mad.
So boiling mad that he finds a way to take down Cheeto-lini.
I'm done being disgusted. I'm furious. Furious that the Republican Party let this numbskull become their candidate. Furious with the idiots who voted him in.
Mr. Comey, please...you are the one who tipped the balance. Now, FIX IT.

I literally astonish myself at times, what's happened to me? Was never meek and mild, but always tried to find some redeeming quality in people that were difficult or hard to 'take'. My country and its Democracy is being crapped on. May proper legal judgment fall upon these brazen ones. In a timely manner.
