(82,849 posts)You can click on the Hume tweet and see the comments that follow from it even if you don't have a Twitter account. The flying monkey brigade has descended on the tweet to deny the plain meaning of Trump's remarks. Let's see if Hume sticks with his position or if he retreats to the safety of Bullshit Mountain with the other crazies.

It wasn't just the Lester Holt interview.
Trump *also* told the Russians -- in the Oval Office -- that firing Comey relieved "great pressure" on him.
"I faced great pressure because of Russia. That's taken off."

(5,953 posts)Trump's flying monkey squad is already going into their rhetorical contortion act, saying he didn't actually put together a complete sentence saying "I fired Jim Comey to STOP the Russia investigation..." and therefore he didn't say that.
Screw that. Forget what he told lester Holt, and concentrate on what he told the actual RUSSIANS THEMSELVES. He literally told the Russians, IN THE OVAL OFFICE no less, that he fired Comey to take the pressure off of himself over the Russia investigation. The wording of his statement there is undeniable.
