The NYT article states: “Mr. Comey later confirmed in testimony to Congress in June that he had told the president that he was not under investigation, but said he didn’t make that public because the status could change in the future.”
True enough, Comey told the president that he was not under investigation, but I don’t believe for a second that he could ever make a public statement early this year that the president was not under investigation.
Back then words as the president “was not under investigation,” was false and Comey knew it. Who was at the top of the “Trump Campaign,” organizational chart? Trump. Who was being investigated? Men working directly for Trump. Men that were under investigation who answered directly to Trump, or men that answered to those that answered directly to Trump. Given Trump’s penchant for control, there’s little doubt that starting last year when the Russians, the “Trump Campaign” and the issue of hacking and the suspect elections arose together with Trump’s mind boggling attitude towards Putin, the FBI, CIA, NSA, intelligence communities listed Trump as suspect #1.
Reading the photocopy of the unsent letter which is found at the bottom of the article, I couldn’t find one reference to Russia, Putin, or the recent presidential election. It’s just a convoluted pseudo rationale to say that Comey was doing a bad job. Maybe there is more to the letter?
While I won’t be surprised if Mueller does find evidence that Trump knew, or even approved, of Russian meddling in the campaign, this letter will not have been the lead that put him on track.
that’s not the unsent letter. that’s the one rosenstein sent.
in other words: that’s the bullshit one they sent *instead* of the one Mueller now has his hands on
