More misleading reporting seeped out of the mainstream media today. A week after Donald Trump fired James Comey, the New York Times published information about a supposed memo Comey had written previous to his termination. As reported, the memorandum suggested that Trump asked the FBI to halt the investigation into former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn.
If that were the case, Trump’s critics would have a decent argument of obstruction of justice. But as is always the case with the left-wing media, the headlines don’t quite match up with the facts.
Trump didn’t ask Comey to stop investigating Flynn. Instead, his quote, which was included in the New York Times’ piece, was much less objectionable. Of course, that didn’t stop them from pushing a misleading headline — and in news, few people see past the words at the top of the page.

See what Trump said to Comey on the next page:
Something must be done about the F**E press. Never in my life have I seen such a brutal attack on a sitting President. This President was elected by conservative Americans wanting a return to the values that made our nation great and wanting government corruption, and growth of the bureaucracy to be reversed. Trump is under attack from every corner, even his own party, the entrenched shadow government. Have you noticed how Ryan, McConnell, Grassley and others have said nothing to support Trump, nothing. They’ve stood by and defended the “Party”, but haven’t defended Trump. This is disgraceful and WILL cost the GOP the house in the next election. People are fed up with political correctness, communistic big government, corrupt politicians. We have no healthcare plan, no tax code revision, no immigration policy….the Dems have effectively stopped any progress of these things by hurling charges at Trump and demanding prosecutors, hearings and moe hearings. Doesn’t everybody see this? What are we going to do about it.
There’s evidence the times committed Treason!
B******t, f**e news
Lmao. Ooohhhhhh they got the smoking gun now!!!! (For the millionth time so they say) Trump may have asked comey to not investigate. …..oh my….the huge scandle is being raised to the surface….!!!!
