TRUMP

>>> Buckle up I guess ░░░░░░░░ s the right thing ░░░░░░░░ say It s turning ░░░░░░░░ to be a chaotic ░░░░░░░░ in the news The ░░░░░░░░ developing story in the ░░░░░░░░ tonight may be the ░░░░░░░░ story yet of this ░░░░░░░░ is the White House ░░░░░░░░ abandoning all pretense when ░░░░░░░░ comes to explaining the ░░░░░░░░ of FBI director James ░░░░░░░░ As a country we ░░░░░░░░ obviously never before had ░░░░░░░░ president whose campaign was ░░░░░░░░ subject of an active ░░░░░░░░ counter intelligence investigation so ░░░░░░░░ really is no historical ░░░░░░░░ in terms of what ░░░░░░░░ ought to do in ░░░░░░░░ of what might count ░░░░░░░░ Normal behavior in that ░░░░░░░░ But still for theahouse ░░░░░░░░ it s very unusual ░░░░░░░░ and its unusual relationship ░░░░░░░░ political norms in general ░░░░░░░░ the last couple day ░░░░░░░░ this White House in ░░░░░░░░ unusual accepted the basic ░░░░░░░░ that a president shouldn ░░░░░░░░ fire the person leading ░░░░░░░░ investigation into his campaign ░░░░░░░░ the president doesn t ░░░░░░░░ that investigation For the ░░░░░░░░ couple days the White ░░░░░░░░ at least halfheartedly try ░░░░░░░░ explain the firing of ░░░░░░░░ director James Comey as ░░░░░░░░ other than what it ░░░░░░░░ like They produced a ░░░░░░░░ from the deputy attorney ░░░░░░░░ saying the firing was ░░░░░░░░ the FBI director s ░░░░░░░░ of the Hillary Clinton ░░░░░░░░ mail investigation last year ░░░░░░░░ produced the vice president ░░░░░░░░ the United States to ░░░░░░░░ people in his calm ░░░░░░░░ way that the president ░░░░░░░░ fired the FBI director ░░░░░░░░ of grave concerns about ░░░░░░░░ FBI director coming from ░░░░░░░░ the Department of Justice ░░░░░░░░ White House spokesman and ░░░░░░░░ deputy told reporters that ░░░░░░░░ firing was a DoJ ░░░░░░░░ that it was about ░░░░░░░░ wishes of the deputy ░░░░░░░░ general that the memo ░░░░░░░░ the Department of Justice ░░░░░░░░ not written at the ░░░░░░░░ of the president that ░░░░░░░░ whole process was initiated ░░░░░░░░ the Justice Department The ░░░░░░░░ knew nothing about it ░░░░░░░░ he saw that memo ░░░░░░░░ when we saw that ░░░░░░░░ from the Department of ░░░░░░░░ it left him no ░░░░░░░░ Literally that was the ░░░░░░░░ No choice For the ░░░░░░░░ couple days they at ░░░░░░░░ made a half hearted ░░░░░░░░ that the president didn ░░░░░░░░ fire the FBI director ░░░░░░░░ the FBI director is ░░░░░░░░ an escalating investigation into ░░░░░░░░ Russia scandal The biggest ░░░░░░░░ in the country now ░░░░░░░░ may be the defining ░░░░░░░░ of this presidency at ░░░░░░░░ thus far is that ░░░░░░░░ they have given up ░░░░░░░░ even those half hearted ░░░░░░░░ at pretense Now they ░░░░░░░░ just going for it ░░░░░░░░ s like a dare ░░░░░░░░ they re saying now ░░░░░░░░ okay you got us ░░░░░░░░ we fired the FBI ░░░░░░░░ to kibosh the Russia ░░░░░░░░ we did What are ░░░░░░░░ going to do about ░░░░░░░░ Did you ask for ░░░░░░░░ recommendation What I did ░░░░░░░░ I was going to ░░░░░░░░ Comey My decision You ░░░░░░░░ made decision before they ░░░░░░░░ in the room I ░░░░░░░░ going to fire Comey ░░░░░░░░ s no good time ░░░░░░░░ do it by the ░░░░░░░░ Because in your letter ░░░░░░░░ said I accepted their ░░░░░░░░ be You had already ░░░░░░░░ the decision I was ░░░░░░░░ to fire regardless of ░░░░░░░░ He made a recommendation ░░░░░░░░ s highly respected very ░░░░░░░░ guy very smart guy ░░░░░░░░ Democrats like him The ░░░░░░░░ like him He made ░░░░░░░░ recommendation but regardless of ░░░░░░░░ I was going to ░░░░░░░░ Comey knowing there was ░░░░░░░░ good time to do ░░░░░░░░ And in fact when ░░░░░░░░ decided to just do ░░░░░░░░ I said to myself ░░░░░░░░ said you know this ░░░░░░░░ thing with Trump and ░░░░░░░░ is a made up ░░░░░░░░ When I decided to ░░░░░░░░ do it when I ░░░░░░░░ to fire the FBI ░░░░░░░░ I said to myself ░░░░░░░░ said you know truwas ░░░░░░░░ the investigation into the ░░░░░░░░ thing A lot of ░░░░░░░░ are looking at that ░░░░░░░░ from the president tonight ░░░░░░░░ that interview with Lester ░░░░░░░░ A lot of people ░░░░░░░░ looking at that clip ░░░░░░░░ tape that statement by ░░░░░░░░ president as of if ░░░░░░░░ he said there was ░░░░░░░░ an accident The reaction ░░░░░░░░ that broadly is oh ░░░░░░░░ accidentally blurted out the ░░░░░░░░ reason why he fired ░░░░░░░░ FBI director But you ░░░░░░░░ what And I do ░░░░░░░░ mean this in a ░░░░░░░░ way I mean this ░░░░░░░░ an observation This president ░░░░░░░░ sounds like he is ░░░░░░░░ blurting something out accidentally ░░░░░░░░ s just the way ░░░░░░░░ talks What he said ░░░░░░░░ does not appear to ░░░░░░░░ been an accident because ░░░░░░░░ said it calmly he ░░░░░░░░ exactly what he was ░░░░░░░░ obviously He wasn t ░░░░░░░░ badgered into it He ░░░░░░░░ riffing on his own ░░░░░░░░ And he isn t ░░░░░░░░ only one who said ░░░░░░░░ today This is the ░░░░░░░░ the professional communications staff ░░░░░░░░ the White House started ░░░░░░░░ about this matter today ░░░░░░░░ the podium in the ░░░░░░░░ room.
