MSNBC’s Reid: Let It ‘Sink In’ that the FBI Was Investigating Whether Trump Was a Russian Asset

RUSH EXCERPT:

REID: “Now, almost two years later, we know that interview caught the attention of the FBI, according to a bombshell report in the “New York Times” opened a counter-intelligence investigation prompting this sentence in the “New York Times” report, which I am quite confident has never been uttered about an American president, quote in the days after President Trump fired James Comey as the FBI director, law enforcement officials became so concerned by the president’s behavior that they began investigating whether he had been working on behalf of Russia, against American interests. Just let that sink in for a the “Times” cites two instances that led them to open this investigation, the aforementioned interview with Lester holt and unsent draft of a letter trump wanted to send to Comey about his firing in which he again mentioned the Russian investigation, a draft special counsel Mueller has, according to a 2017 report in the “New York Times.” Now, Mueller took over the counter-intelligence investigation into trump. He has it. It’s unclear whether it’s still ongoing. Regardless, let’s be clear, this is completely separate from the Russian investigation opened in 2016, which was about Russia’s interference in our election to help elect trump. This counter-intelligence and criminal investigation were opened to scrutinize the conduct of the sitting president of the United States while he’s in office.”
