Comey described his dinner with Trump, “It was him talking almost the entire time, so it would be monologue in this direction, monologue in that direction, monologue in a different direction. On and on and on and on. I never assaulted these women, I never made fun of a reporter. And a constant series of assertions, about the inauguration crowd. His inauguration crowd was bigger than that at Barack Obama’s first inauguration. That’s just not true. That’s not a perspective, that’s not a view, that’s just a lie. And yet he would say it, and, “Everyone agrees, everyone says, everyone believes.”
Stepanoupolis asked, “So you’re listening. Are you thinking, “President trump’s a liar?”
Comey answered, “Yes, yeah.
The former FBI director who everyone on both sides of the aisle regard as credible just said that the President Of The United States is a liar. You may disagree with Comey, but the inside look that he is giving of Trump is damning.
