Actually you're both lying and absorbing what the media gives you.
The rationale from the beginning was that he acted upon the advice of Rosenstein- a guy who has worked in both party Administrations and is respected throughout DC. He laid out a near soundproof rationale for firing Comey and stated that it should have happened sooner.
The media knows this and continues to lie since they need this "cover up" narrative to drive ratings. Sheep like you keep tuning in.
It's the media that is lying as if we havent seen the press conferences ourselves and heard the 10 different versions of how this firing occurred.
OK? Where did he say that Trump didn't say he thought about conflagrating the Russia conspiracy before firing Comey?
