Meanwhile, the GOP still looking at corruption and not seeing anything:
Senator Mike Lee Says Trump Fully Cooperating with Russia Investigation (goes to Huffington Post, more at the link):
Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) said Sunday that President Donald Trump is âfully cooperatingâ with the FBI investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, despite Trumpâs explicit acknowledgement that he fired FBI Director James Comey over the Russia probe.
âRegardless of recommendation I was going to fire Comey,â Trump told NBCâs Lester Holt last week. âAnd in fact 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, itâs an excuse by the Democrats for having lost an election that they should have won.â
Trump went on to tell Holt that the Russia investigation âshould have been over with a long time agoâ and that Comeyâs continued focus on Russia showed âheâs the wrong man for that positionâ as FBI director.
Lee, however, insisted that Trump was not interfering with the investigation. âAs far as Iâm aware, he is fully cooperating,â Lee told Fox, adding that Trump wants the investigation to proceed âwherever the facts may lead.â
