Very interesting what is happening in regard to the sacking of FBI chief Comey. Certainly has the potential for impeachment.

I tend to believe Comey's version after Trump posted this on twitter:

Donald J. Trump‏Verified account @realDonaldTrump Jun 9
Despite so many false statements and lies, total and complete vindication...and WOW, Comey is a leaker!


He totally disregards the implications of Comey's testimony to claim "total and complete vindication" (although this kind of twist is a common ploy by politicians & business leaders).


Then he calls Comey a "leaker". This is obviously intended to portray Mr Comey as not a credible witness nor trustworthy. However, there are many occasions where the person leaking info has had a good/moral/altruistic reason for doing so (ie, leaking can be a sign of honesty/courage).


He really should be cautious about his tweets and get someone to vet them. Certainly not fake news at all when it comes from the man himself.
