    Trump and his team keep acting like this is a campaign where they could say and do anything. In WH scrutiny never stops. Truth will come out

    Either WH spokespeople had no idea what happened or deliberately lied (or both). Either way how can they be trusted going forward?

    The president is destroying the story his admin offered 48 hours ago. He has wrecked the credibility of his own WH:

    The President acknowledging he the fired director of the FBI bc of investigation he was leading into Trump campaign collusion with Russia

    Note that there is no suggestion that the goal of the investigation should be to learn the facts about Russian interference in our election.

    Wait, now White House is explicitly stating that Comey firing was designed to influence probe of Trump campaign?

    Or that they might be telling the truth and not just saying whatever is necessary to get through a particular moment.

    Sometimes the way we are analyzing this WH and their communications to the public is based on assumption that there is precedent for this

    Trump's bodyguard delivered Comey's termination letter to the FBI. I've covered countries where things like this happen. Not democracies.

    This is not remotely believable. It isn't possible to have credibility to govern when you lie this relentlessly about such important things

    White House cites Comey going around “the chain of command” in Clinton email news conference, which happened 10 months ago.

    FBI rank and file had lost confidence in Comey? What is the basis for that statement? And how can WH speak for FBI rank and file?

    This is really sad for our country.

    caught, he cried like a baby and begged for forgiveness...and now he is judge & jury. He should be the one who is investigated for his acts.

    I've spent the last several hours trying to find an acceptable rationale for the timing of Comey's firing. I just can't do it.

    Trump defenders should have to read this out loud and explain why it's an acceptable explanation from a President about firing FBI director

    Cryin' Chuck Schumer stated recently, "I do not have confidence in him (James Comey) any longer." Then acts so indignant.
