COMEY, THE FBI DIRECTOR, FIRED.
LET'S FIGURE OUT WHY IT
HAPPENED NOW.
THEY DID IT IN A PANIC, SEAN SPICER WASN'T READY,
NOBODY WAS READY, THEY DIDN'T HAVE THEIR TALKING POINTS DOWN,
THEY HADN'T CALLED THE SENATORS, THEY FIRED COMEY WITHOUT EVEN
TELLING HIM, THEY SENT ONE OF TRUMP'S PRIVATE SECURITY GUARD
GOONS TO THE FBI TO DELIVER A MANILA ENVELOPE -- WHAT ARE WE,
IN THE MOB?
COMEY FIND OUT WHEN THE TV BEHIND HIM SAYS HE'S BEEN
FIRED WILL HE'S OUT HERE IN L.A. WHY DO THEY PANIC AND WITH NO
REPLACEMENT AND NO PLAN GO, YOU ARE FIRED?
LET'S GET INTO THAT
NOW.
CNN REPORTS --
>>THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT
IS WHERE THEY HAVE THE INFORMATION
ON FINANCIAL DEALINGS.
OH, THIS IS WHERE IT GETS INTERESTING.
MY
LEADING THEORY ON THIS WAS THAT HE MADE NOT JUST, HEY, YOU GUYS
HELP ME WIN THE ELECTION, RUSSIA, DO SOME LEAKS, ETC., AND
I'LL BE NICE TO YOU GUYS AND MORE INCLINED IN YOUR DIRECTION
-- WHAT I'VE BEEN TELLING YOU IS, HE MADE A FINANCIAL DEAL
WITH THE RUSSIANS.
THAT WAS MY BEST GUESS, OBVIOUSLY YOU HAVE
TO PROVE THAT OUT, THAT'S WHAT COMEY WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF DOING
AND THEY WERE LOOKING AT THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT TO SEE IF
THEY COULD FIND SUCH A FINANCIAL DEAL -- THAT IS WHEN TRUMP
PANICS.
MARK WARNER IS THE LEADING DEMOCRAT ON THE
INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE
AND HE SAYS --
>>WELL, HE'S DOING AN INVESTIGATION AND HE DOESN'T
HAVE THOSE FACTS YET, THAT'S WHY HE ASKS FOR THE INFORMATION.
MY
GUESS IS IT WILL BE FROM RUSSIA.
THAT'S WHY HE FIRED COMEY.
NO,
DON'T FIND OUT ANY OF THAT!
FINCEN IS THE SPECIFIC PART OF
THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT THAT HAS THAT INFORMATION, CNN EXPLAINS
--
>>THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT WE'VE BEEN TELLING YOU ABOUT ON THE YOUNG
TURKS.
TRUMP HAS ALL THESE PROPERTIES, IN SOME CASES HE
SELLS THEM TO RUSSIANS AT OUTLANDISH PRICES, WAY ABOVE
WHAT HE BOUGHT THEM AT, WAY ABOVE THE MARKET VALUE, ONE OF
HIS KNUCKLEHEADED SONS, ERIC TRUMP, BRAGS TO A GOLF WRITER A
COUPLE YEARS AGO, WE GOT ALL THE LOANS FOR THIS FROM THE
RUSSIANS.
ON ONE HAND COMEY IS INVESTIGATING THE FBI, ON THE
OTHER HAND THE SENATE INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE IS ASKING
ABOUT THIS INFORMATION FROM THE TREASURY, ALL THIS IS HAPPENING
AT THE SAME TIME.
THE HILL EXPLAINS --
>>THAT HAPPENED TODAY.
HE FIRES COMEY THE DAY BEFORE HE WAS
GOING TO TALK TO THE RUSSIANS, THEN HE HAS THE RUSSIAN
AMBASSADOR IN AND THE RUSSIAN FOREIGN MINISTER.
KYSLIAK, THE
AMBASSADOR, IS THE GUY THAT MIKE FLYNN HAD A CONVERSATION ABOUT
AND SAID THIS IS WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN WITH THE SANCTIONS,
THEN FLYNN LIED AND SAID THEY DIDN'T TALK ABOUT THE SANCTIONS,
THAT'S WHY MIKE FLYNN WAS FIRED AND STEP DOWN FROM BEING
NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISOR.
THAT SAME RUSSIAN AMBASSADOR COMES IN
AND TALKS TO TRUMP RIGHT AFTER HE FIRES COMEY.
DA, DA, VERY
GOOD, NICE JOB, DONALD.
VERY GOOD COVERING YOUR TRACKS.
I
THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BE A WIN/WIN.
NOW THE HILL AGAIN --
>>NOW, HMM.
THE PLOT THICKENS.
SO HE HAS ASKED FOR MORE MONEY
TO DO FURTHER INVESTIGATIONS, TRUMP FINDS OUT, A COUPLE DAYS
LATER HE'S GONE.
TRUMP, IN HIS LETTER TO COMEY, WROTE THIS
HILARIOUS SENTENCE.
HE SAID --
>>WHY WOULD YOU WRITE THAT IN A LETTER IF IT HAS NOTHING TO DO
WITH THE RUSSIAN INVESTIGATION?
FIRST OF ALL OF COURSE IT'S NOT
TRUE, THERE IS NO INDEPENDENT CONFIRMATION THAT JAMES COMEY
HAS EVER TOLD DONALD TRUMP HE'S NOT UNDER INVESTIGATION, AND
ACCORDING TO FREEDOM OF INFORMATION REQUESTS ABOUT
DOCUMENTS RELATED TO THAT THEY SAY IT MIGHT BE UNDER
INVESTIGATION, THINGS DONALD TRUMP HAS SAID.
AS USUAL NOT
TRUE.
BUT THAT SENTENCE IS HIS I'M NOT A WITCH MOMENT.
REMEMBER
WHEN THE SENATE CANDIDATE FROM DELAWARE DID AN AD THAT SAID I'M
NOT A WITCH?
YOU TOLD ME I'M NOT BEING INVESTIGATED, BY YOUR
FIRED SO YOU CAN'T TALK ABOUT IT.
YOU ARE SO DUMB, DON'T LIKE
THAT IN THE LETTER.
IT'S A BIG RED FLAG SAYING IT'S ABOUT THE
RUSSIAN INVESTIGATION.
BUT HE'S SUCH A CHILD HE THINKS IF I SAY
THAT IT'S NOT ABOUT THE RUSSIAN INVESTIGATION, THEY WON'T THINK
IT IS ABOUT THAT.
NOW, BACK TO CNN --
>>SO REQUESTS
FOR INFORMATION AND DOCUMENTS FROM THOSE
WITNESSES WHO MIGHT HAVE HAD DEALINGS WITH THE RUSSIANS WHO
WERE PART OF THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN.
SO WALLS ARE CLOSING IN, WHAT
DOES HE DO?
HE LASHES OUT AND FIRES THE GUY HEADING THE
INVESTIGATION.
NOW BACK TO POLITICO, THEY REPORT --
>>SO ROGER STONE IS ASKED BY INVESTIGATORS FOR DOCUMENTS
RELATING TO THE RUSSIAN INVESTIGATION, HE CALLS TRUMP,
ACCORDING TO HIS OWN FRIENDS, AND SAYS YEAH, YEAH, FIRE COMEY
SO HE DOESN'T INVESTIGATE US ANYMORE.
TRUMP FIRES COMEY.
LET'S FIND OUT MORE ABOUT STONE --
>>THESE GUYS HAVE NO SUBTLETY AT ALL.
BASICALLY BRAGGING ABOUT
HOW THEY FIRED THE GUY WHO WAS INVESTIGATING THEM.
IF I WAS
YOU, I WOULD PUT THAT CIGAR AWAY.
YOU MIGHT BE CELEBRATING A
TAD TOO EARLY.
