Lemon: Not the ‘Best Idea’ If Trump Thought Firing Comey Would Make Russia Issue Go Away

‘Sources telling CNN, the president was more and more agitated about the Russia investigation’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
LEMON: "Sources telling CNN, the president was more and more agitated about the Russia investigation, decided he couldn't trust the FBI director. Another source telling CNN, Trump was white hot, that's a quote, angry and cursing about Comey testifying he felt mildly nauseous that his actions last fall could have influenced the election. But if the president was hoping that firing Comey would somehow make everybody forget all about Russia, this was not the best idea. Posing for pictures, tweeted by the Russians, with Ambassador Sergey Kislyak. There he is. Whose conversations with Michael Flynn got the former National Security Adviser fired. Flynn, by the way, subpoenaed by the Senate tonight. So, no, none of this is going away any time soon."
