When the Justice Department decided not to charge former FBI Director James Comey with criminal charges “that sent Trump into a rage,” the Washington Post reports.
“He complained so loudly and swore so frequently in the Oval Office that some of his aides discussed it for days… Trump repeatedly said that Comey deserved to be charged.”
Said Trump: “Can you fucking believe they didn’t charge him?”
“Trump has also wanted charges filed against Comey’s former deputy, Andrew McCabe. A separate inspector general investigation concluded that McCabe lied to investigators about his role in authorizing disclosures for a Wall Street Journal story in October 2016 about internal FBI tensions over an investigation of the Clinton Foundation. A grand jury in Washington seemed poised to make a decision on the case last year before fizzling into inaction.”
