In an early Wednesday tweetstorm, Trump blasted fired FBI Director James Comey and questioned the DOJ, following the FBI’s confirmation that Comey began drafting his statement about Hillary Clinton’s private email server use long before the investigation was complete.
“Wow, FBI confirms report that James Comey drafted letter exonerating Crooked Hillary Clinton long before investigation was complete. Many people not interviewed, including Clinton herself.”
Trump then accused Comey of perjury, and asked why the DOJ has not addressed this yet: “Comey stated under oath that he didn’t do this-obviously a fix? Where is Justice Dept?”
Trump also accused Comey of lying and leaking to protect Clinton. “He was the best thing that ever happened to her!”
On Monday, the FBI posted a document revealing Comey began drafting a letter in July of 2016 in which he did not recommend charges against Clinton. FBI official James Rybicki in mid-May requested in an unclassified email that officials “send any comments on this statement so we may roll it into a master doc for discussion with the Director at a future date.” Comey would make his announcement roughly two months later, criticizing Clinton for being “extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information.”
Trump also took aim at Senate Democrats, and Republicans, urging “all Senate Republicans” to vote for “the largest Tax Cuts in U.S. history.”
