President Donald Trump on Wednesday doubled down on his assertion that he did not fire former FBI Director James Comey because of the Russia probe, despite having said the opposite in an interview with NBC’s Lester Holt a year ago.
Not that it matters but I never fired James Comey because of Russia! The Corrupt Mainstream Media loves to keep pushing that narrative, but they know it is not true!

He struck a different tone in May 2017 when he broke with White House messaging and said that the investigation was part of his decision.
“When I decided to just do it, I said to myself, I said, ‘You know, this Russia thing with Trump and Russia is a made-up story, it’s an excuse by the Democrats for having lost an election that they should have won,’” Trump told NBC.
“What did the President know, and when did he forget it?”
Seems to me I’ve heard that before somewhere.
Profiles in Delusion
Just because you have me saying it on video doesn’t mean I said it.
He has a good record of not being hurt by his statements caught on tape. Not this time, boss.
I could watch that clip every day and not be bored. My favorite part is when he refers to himself in the third person
Classic.
'Bout time. Thanks E.J. And I love your Brandy, too.
