president trump trying to rewrite history, tweeting today, not that it matters, but i never fired james comey because of russia. the corrupt mainstream media loves to keep pushing that narrative, but they know it is not true. no, it s the president s claim that it s not true. he clearly said on camera that russia was on his mind when he fired comey. so who is the president trying to fool? so let s discuss now. cnn contributor john dean is here. he is a former nixon white house counsel and former clinton white house general counsel nelson cunningham. good evening, gentlemen. so, john, i just want to play what president trump, in his own words, what he told nbc s lester holt about why he fired comey. why did you fire director comey? because he wasn t doing a good job, very simply. he was not doing a good job. regardless of recommendation, i was going to fire comey, knowing there was no good time to do it.
what he said before. not that it matters, i never fired james comey because of russia. the corrupt mainstream media loves to keep pushing that narrative. on may 10th the day after comey was fired and said i just fired the head of the fbi. he was crazy. i faced great pressure because of russia. that was taken off. then he talked to lester holt and said this. regardless of recommendation i was going to fire comey knowing there was no good time to do it. in fact when i decided to do it, i said to myself, i said, you know, this russia thing with trump and russia is a made up story. it s an excuse by the democrats for having lost an election that they should have won. the president saying he was considering this russia thing when he fired comey not the memo
i want to read the president s tweet today. not that it matters but i never fired james comey because of russia. the corrupt mainstream media loves to keep pushing that narrative but they know it s not true. let s play the nbc sound bite. i was going to fire comey knowing there was no good time to do it. in fact when i decided to do it i said to myself i said this russia thing with trump and russia is a made up story. it s an excuse by the democrats for losing an election they should have won. comey told the president he was not being investigated. i think the president is right to be frustrated with director comey. he made it clear he thought comey s reign was a complete disaster. he did a terrible job for the hillary clinton e-mail disaster.
