information is out there. comey s exact quote was i don t know how to answer that. i know the answer to that question wasn t relevant to my goals. that s his answer. what were his goals? the president hardly knows him. they had very limited contact. he is trying to avenge his firing and termination which was recommended by his boss. the president keeps connecting him to illegality saying he should be prosecuted. has the president asked the doj to look at jim comey and investigate whether there is criminality? i think that america sees somebody and struggling to realize why this is so relevant to them and why they are about to see jim comey nonstop for the next month or two everywhere they turn. i can t blame them for wanting to know how this is relevant because he is an admitted leaker and the fbi had a quick cleanup
