frequently claimed on twitter that special counsel mueller has a conflict of interest because he s friends with james comey, the fbi director trump fired over the russia investigation. and don t forget this outrageous claim that president trump made to the daily caller, and here s a quote. he says, and he s comey s best friend. and i could give you 100 pictures of him and comey hugging and kigs each other. you know, he s comey s best friend. despite the president s claims there s no evidence of a close friendship between the two, who had worked together at the department of justice. there are some pictures of them in a formal capacity for their jobs. i m not getting a best friends kind of vibe from those pictures. and a reporter from buzzfeed followed up on trump s crazy claim that there are 100 pictures of robert mueller and james comey hugging and kissing. james leopold sent a freedom of information act request to the fbi asking for the images. what he got back was nothing. zero pi
