Your president is calling a man a "slime ball" on Twitter

Yes, of course, James Comey.




Get with the program. It's "Lyin' James Comey".

There's a coordinated, organized effort by the GOP to smear Comey.
The battle plan against Comey, obtained by CNN, calls for branding the nation's former top law enforcement official as "Lyin' Comey" through a website, digital advertising and talking points to be sent to Republicans across the country before his memoir is released. [...] The White House signed off on the plan, which is being overseen by the Republican National Committee.

Trump landed a clean (if ironic) hit on the former FBI director when he derided him as a “showboat.” There is something a bit unseemly about Comey’s love of the spotlight (let alone about his cashing in on abetting the election of Donald Trump). But he’s just not that big of a liar — a reality that “lyincomey.com” inadvertently affirms. Here’s how the website “fact checks” Comey’s claim that Trump attempted to obstruct the FBI’s investigation into Michael Flynn:
No matter what his grandstanding book says, Comey has already confirmed multiple times under oath that neither President Trump nor his staff asked him to stop the Russia investigation.

SEN. RICHARD BURR: Director Comey, did the president at any time ask you to stop the FBI investigation into Russian involvement in the 2016 U.S. elections?

DIR. COMEY: Not to my understanding, no.

Sadly for his sake, the big idiot in the White House went on national TV and explained that he fired Comey because of the "Russia thing."
Comey’s primary allegation is that the president has contempt for the concept of equality before the law, and believes that the Justice Department’s first loyalty should be to him, not the Constitution (the title of Comey’s memoir, A Higher Loyalty, is an implicit reference to this charge). The thing is, we don’t actually need to take Comey’s word for that.
No, we don't.

UPDATE:



And if Trump gets called before a Grand Jury, he's damn well going to be lying under oath.
