CNN reported late Tuesday that longtime informal Trump adviser Roger Stone influenced his decision to fire Comey:
Longtime Trump ally Roger Stone was among those who recommended to the President that he fire Comey, according to a source familiar with the conversation. Stone, who also is being scrutinized by the FBI as part of its Russia investigation, spoke to Trump after Comey appeared at a hearing last week on Capitol Hill, according to the source.
That would be troublesome given Stone is also a person of interest in the Russia investigation particularly in regards to his communications with the hacker Guccifer 2.0.
Trump isn't just denying this; he's denying he talked to Stone recently at all:

The Roger Stone report on @CNN is false - Fake News. Have not spoken to Roger in a long time - had nothing to do with my decision.

They love what he is doing, especially firing Comey and laughing with the Russian FM who is laughing at us.

So why not just man the fuck up and own what you do?
How difficult is it to Just say 'Yeah, I talked to him.' ...
But no...

(16,850 posts)And I mean the truly "fake news" stories like Pizzagate, looking at my wife and saying "I'm calling it right now, every single time the media calls him out or highlights his corruption he will call them 'fake news'". I'm so fucking sick of hearing or reading him say "Fake News", like that's supposed to mean something anymore. Well, I guess it does mean something because every time he uses the phrase, you can bet he's lying through his damn teeth!
