Comey: Trump's 'Spygate' claims are made up

Source: The Hill

Former FBI Director James Comey said late Thursday that claims by President Trump and his allies that the FBI improperly spied on his presidential campaign were made up.

"As best I can tell, it's made up. I don't know where he's getting that from, honestly," Comey told late night host Conan O'Brien during an interview on Thursday night.

Asked if it was possible that there was a "spy" inserted into Trump's campaign by an intelligence agency, Comey said, "I don’t find it possible and I know it not to be true."

I don't know how some of those people keep straight faces when they peddle this crap. It's only exceeded by my total freaking amazement that this tripe is swallowed whole by the brain-dead thirty percent. Day is night/night is day...reads like a bad Philip K Dick novel.

For decent people. Understanding the gops lack of ethics and
their main platform.."the ends justifying the means"
As we tolerate our neighbors and friends whose heads have
been turned...Be patient with them.

which is the angle Trump has been steering towards all along: the ability to be the only truth, at will, so he can dictate to all

MSM, sane Americans, the intelligentsia need to get behind Comey's take on this
