By trump. Trumps using manufactured problems from Comey with the IG to try and con people into believing another reason for his firing. More proof of trying to hamper or change the truth , another charge against him.

It doesn't matter that no one in the administration can be trusted to tell the truth. Not even a DOJ, IG. The Cult of 45 will believe anything that puts him in a good light and deny anything that does not.

They are a cult now. Not a political party.
