OMG, so much confusion !
Sean Spicer; "President Trump acted on the clear recommendations of Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein."
VP Pence; "The decision was based on the recommendation of Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein."
Trump; "I was going to fire Comey anyway-my decision."
Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein; "The president had decided to fire Comey before I was asked to write a memo justifying the move."
Trump; "I actually thought when I made that decision-and I also got a very, very strong recommendation, as you know, from the Deputy Attorney General, Rod Rosenstein."
It's obvious that the White House is desperately trying to cover their assezs over this firing. They know Comey was fired by Trump in order to shut down the FBI's investigation into the possible Trump/Russia collusion. They know this move was obstruction of justice, a violation of Trump's oath of office, and an abuse of power on Trump's part. They had all better, 'lawyer up'.
This is clearly the most corrupt administration in American history. The second most corrupt is the Nixon presidency, and the third most corrupt is the Reagan presidency.

" I just fired the head of the F.B.I. He was crazy, a real nut job, " Mr. Trump said, according to the document, which was read to The New York Times by an American official. " I faced great pressure because of Russia. That's taken off."
