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.”

As well he should have.

As well he should have.

Yup ... as the record will continue to show.

Why would anyone listen to Priebus now?  He's irrelevant and Trump is/was right on Comey.

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.

Alternate title" "Trump's instinct correct, had Comey figured out as crooked."

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.
