Former FBI Director James Comey now believes that President Donald Trump was trying to influence his judgment about the Russia probe, a person familiar with his thinking says, but whether that influence amounts to obstruction of justice remains an open question.

Trumps next firing should be everybody who advised him to keep Comey as his FBI Director.. Guy shoulda been locked out of the offuce 1 minute after Trump was sworn in

Next, the politically taimted grandstander McCabe

What's way past time is to take the leakers from within the Oval Office out in handcuffs and charge them with treason. That would include anyone who knows who the leakers are but didn't report them.

If the Precious Princess or the swampthings she's brought in are involved, getting them out of there would be a fringe benefit.

I said that I am not disputing that Comey is the most feckless person around. I am only pointing out that he had to seek victory in this over a tough and highly competitive field. We should honor Jeb!’s request and clap for him.

That’s a good point. The media has reduced itself to a sh!t-bag level of journalism where they’re even running stories based on unseen documents that a “source” is supposedly reading to a reporter over the phone. The reason they’re doing this is that everyone — from the source to the subject of the story to the reporter writing the story to the management of the media outlet running the story — wants to have plausible deniability that allows them to later testify under oath that the sources of the information may never have existed and it was all just a big “mistake.”

This moth**er was offered one very serious pile of money to change his testimony. Count on it.

Well the GOP is definitely against Trump. I wouldn’t be surprised if they voted for impeachment. But then we get Pence. I love Trump though,.

So now the narrative is that Comey is a mind reader a la Carmac the Magnificent? They obviously have nothing on Trump. Just political hacks acting out. HAAAA So is Comeny now going to put words in Trumps mouth, after being sworn in before Congress? Yikes!

Has Anderson Cooper given a 15-second summary of this story?

Let me guess without reading this BS. All sources are anonymous.

Comey and Mueller will soon find out what an independent investigation means.

The Left is going to be under the gun and Trump knows it.

Keep dumping on your desk Cooper, it is just starting.

“a person familiar with his thinking says...”

The majority of these coup pieces have no primary sources. This is well-planned and being well-executed.

a person says

There's a lot of this these days, isn't there?

I'm pretty sure that CNN's "inside source" is the Washington Post's senior White House correspondent and the Washington Post's "inside source" is CNN's senior White House correspondent.
