And of course he lied about what Comey said.Trump is using @POTUS to live-tweet at the FBI director as he testifies before Congress
Here’s a real thing that happened today: As the head of the FBI testified before Congress about possible Russian involvement in the 2016 election, the White House took to the @POTUS twitter account to argue with the head of FBI.
Two hours after the White House sent out its first tweet about Comey, Rep. Jim Himes asked Comey if a tweet was correct.
Had “the NSA and FBI [told] Congress that Russia did not influence electoral process”?
Comey: “I haven’t been following anybody on Twitter while I’ve been sitting here.”
Himes: “Is that accurate?”
Comey: “We offered no opinion, have no view, have no information on potential impact because it’s never something that we looked at.”
Himes: “So it’s not too far of a logical leap that you have told the Congress that there was no influence on the electoral process is not quite right?”
Comey: “It certainly wasn’t our intention to say that today because we don’t have any information on that subject, and that’s not something that was looked at.”
