    I just provided the whole interview, but you still keep repeating the same false narrative over and over again.

    Here....this article has the complete transcript. Where did Trump say he fired Comey because of the Russian investigation?

    Since then, significant information has come to light that warrants a reinvestigation.

    I'm not alone in that opinion.

    https://nypost.com/2019/03/23/how-to-end-our-national-nightmare-probe-hillary-clinton-again/

    How to end our national nightmare — probe Hillary Clinton again

    "But even as we learn the details of what Mueller found, there remains a giant black hole about the very origins of the FBI investigation that led to his appointment in the first place.

    It is astonishing, for example, that at this late date, we still do not know what evidence the disgraced James Comey and his FBI had to open the original probe in the summer of 2016, and whether there was anything other than the fatally tainted Russian dossier.

    Nor do we know of any compelling reason why Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein later decided a special counsel was necessary to get to the bottom of the swirling accusations of collusion that started during the campaign and mushroomed after Trump’s upset victory."​

    I'll leave the monumental irony cascading from your second comment untouched.

    No rational objective person can reject the need to investigate the origin of this whole debacle. If they do, they have signaled what they are, and what they are not.

    Even a court of law doesn't require the specific, precise, explicit wording you're demanding. The meaning is there and it's clear.

    You speak of the Russia thing. Do you mean the Russia thing when Comey declared the FBI had zero evidence Trump cooperated with the Russians about the election? Surely when Both Comey and now Mueller reports no collusion or conspiracy, a crime took place, Trump would be likely to keep Comey. He kept Mueller on the job. You also cherry picked your favorite reason given by Trump but not his sole reason. He also acted on the recommendations of other high officials.

    Comey did piss off the Democrats. We kept telling the forum Democrats how pissed they were at Comey.

    Suddenly Trump fires him for cause and suddenly the Democrats are in love with Comey. Well they hated him when he shot down Hillary's chances.

    Comey is the story why Hillary lost, not those phantoms in Russia.;

    Truymp did the Democrats a huge favor firing Comey.

    Wow.....that news report was horrible. No wonder there are so many claims of "Fake News". I would be embarrassed if I was MSNBC....but we know they will not be as it is all about driving the narrative.

    Nothing that MSNBC claims is in that interview.

    There were several other reasons but you've been encouraged to focus on this one.

    Time to move on. There was no collusion.

    Well it's clear from your (known right wing) NYPOST quote that the article is a spin. What else could we expect?
    First, the dossier in question has proven to contain more and more correct, true, and accurate information as it has been investigated. Secondly, we all know (of SHOULD by now!) about the Trump administration's 100 contacts by 17 campaign people with Russia and Russian intelligence during the campaign, AND we know of the repeated lies and denials by them, AND the obvious efforts to keep those meetings and others secret. That absolutely REEKS of conspiracy.

    Given those indisputable facts, an investigation was definitely in order. So the article's spin of "It is astonishing, for example, that at this late date, we still do not know what evidence the disgraced James Comey and his FBI had to open the original probe in the summer of 2016, and whether there was anything other than the fatally tainted Russian dossier" is clearly exactly that: a spin.

    Great.

    Now the SDNY and The House can concentrate on the Trump Syndicate's REAL Crimes.

    Yup, time to move on to the next phase of the Trump Syndicate Criminal Investigation.

    And 'the Russia thing' as Trump pointed out, and knew, was phoney.

    There you go again. Over-the-top anxious, eager, zealous to STOP all further dealing with all this even before the report is actually out. YOU. DON'T. KNOW. THERE. WAS. NO. COLLUSION! And neither does Fox in spite of their claims. No word of "there was no collusion" has been found in the report BECAUSE THE REPORT HAS NOT BEEN PUBLISHED.

    No problem. But didn't the Democratic Party, CNN and MSNBC have you convinced that there were already 'real crimes'? Are you just setting yourself up for further disappointment?

    Then call it a well educated guess.

    But I do admire your optimism.

    So, 100 contacts with Russians by 17 Trump campaign people during the campaign is no "smoking gun" eh? LOL!!!!

    There's your spin! All I've said is that now that the investigation is concluded, I want to see the report before drawing conclusions. And this you call "optimism".

    Your zeal is noted.

    Meanwhile they're dancing a jig at Faux News, just like Hitler did in Paris.

    I think the dems are upset that they were stupid when it came to trump/putin conspiracies, and made such fools of themselves, even as some journalists like greewald tried hard to get them to not believe in things lacking evidence, and to back off their fervent hopes and dreams and come back down to reality. So not to appear as mental misfits, incapable of serious governance.

    So now, they must dream and hope that the SDNY can find something on trump and company, since the trump putin conspiracy was absurdly outrageous, from the get-go, and only the dems were incapable of recognizing that.

    Dems will continue to hope, dream and fantasize that the buffoon who beat hillary can be taken down, so they can get even for their girl getting her arse handed to her, via the EC.

    Reminds me of recess at grade school, and poorly raised children.

    They are dancing because they were proven again to be more credible than any of the MSM.

    The MSM is actually harmed the most from this.

    They should learn to code.
