Trump had it in for Comey from 'Day One' over 'soap opera' style, Priebus says

By  Judson Berger   | Fox News
   
   
When President Trump ousted James Comey from the helm of the FBI last May, it triggered a political cataclysm – with charges flying of obstruction of justice and the appointment soon after of a special counsel who’s since brought charges against numerous Trump associates.

But in a newly published interview, former chief of staff Reince Priebus said Trump was considering firing the FBI director from “Day One,” weary of his “soap opera” approach to investigations.

“He had thought about getting rid of Comey weeks before the inauguration,” Priebus told journalist Chris Whipple for an updated version of his book, "The Gatekeepers: How the White House Chiefs of Staff Define Every Presidency.” “It wasn’t just a subject that came up out of the blue. The president had been wrestling with this from Day One.”

Why would anyone listen to Priebus now?  He's irrelevant and Trump is/was right on Comey.
I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.

Oh gee, this is so terrible. Priebus reached his "peter principle," failed quickly.

Then writes his own book. Alas, the media swoons, along with forums, too.

I missed the part where Trump was correct, Comey was/is scum.

Priebus and Spicer were brought in from the RNC and were supposed to be the ones to keep the admin focused on the agenda. They were also supposed to be the ‘responsible adults’ providing comfort to the establishment types.  Both made fools of themselves in short order and got drummed out. Neither of them has any credibility.
I disagree.  Circle gets the square.
