FBI Director Comey Confirms Investigation Into Trump Campaign (reuters.com)

FBI Director James Comey confirmed during testimony before Congress Monday that the FBI is investigating whether the Trump campaign colluded with a covert Russian campaign to interfere with the election. From a report on Reuters: Comey told a congressional hearing on Russian activities that the probe "includes investigating the nature of any links between individuals associated with the Trump campaign and the Russian government and whether there was any coordination between the campaign and Russia's efforts. Because it is an open, ongoing investigation and is classified, I cannot say more about what we are doing and whose conduct we are examining," Comey said. Earlier, the chairman of the U.S. House of Representatives Intelligence Committee, Republican Representative Devin Nunes, told the same hearing that the panel had seen no evidence of collusion between Russia and Trump's 2016 campaign. Nunes also denied an unsubstantiated claim from Trump that there had been a wiretap on his Trump Tower in New York but said it was possible other surveillance was used against the Republican.

    It's all fake news. The president tweeted that out just this morning. And if you can't trust the president then who can you trust? [1]

    [1] Note .. for the sarcasm impaired, that was sarcasm.

      Can we trust Comey?

      Sure. Inversely proportional to how much Trump likes him.

      [ (Trump Likes) x (We Trust) = Constant ]

    Why hasn't Trump apologized to Obama? It would seem to be the decent thing to do.

    "Decency" has been a remarkably poor predictor of what Trump will do.
