Pavlich: Comey Memos Show the FBI ‘Was Working on Behalf of the President to Protect Him Against a Russian Narrative’

‘James Comey repeatedly states in these memos that he told the president that he was not under investigation’

EXCERPT:

PAVLICH: "The most interesting thing that stood out to me is when you go through all of these pages and the separate memos that were written on different dates, the theme is that the F.B.I. was working on behalf of the President to protect him against Russia and Russian narratives coming out of Moscow about the President in terms of salacious accusations. And James Comey repeatedly states in these memos that he told the President that he was not under investigation. So, for the F.B.I.’s role Comey kept saying to him that we were protecting the President against all of these allegations. And clearly in these memos, the President was going and saying things, even about Mike Flynn, about getting to the bottom of some of these things that had happened and saying, 'If wrongdoing happened, the F.B.I. certainly should be investigating it.'"
