To me, it has been obvious for a long time that Resident Donald Trump, aka Putin’s Puppet, sold out to Russia in return for Russia installing him in the White House.  I kept asking myself why it wasn’t being investigated.  Unbeknownst to me, it was.  Shortly after the Comey firing the FBI opened a counterintelligence investigation into Trump, as they suspected that he had been working for Russia, against American interests.<\/font><\/p>\n

In the days after President Trump fired James B. Comey<\/a> as F.B.I. director, law enforcement officials became so concerned by the president\u2019s behavior that they began investigating whether he had been working on behalf of Russia against American interests, according to former law enforcement officials and others familiar with the investigation.<\/p>\n

The inquiry carried explosive implications. Counterintelligence investigators had to consider whether the president\u2019s own actions constituted a possible threat to national security.

\"TrumpPuppet\"President Trump on Saturday morning called his firing of former FBI Director James Comey<\/a> \u201ca great day for America.\u201d<\/p>\n

The comment came in a tweetstorm voicing outrage over a recent New York Times report<\/a> saying days after the May 2017 firing, the FBI opened an inquiry into whether Trump was \u201csecretly working on behalf of Russia.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWow, just learned in the Failing New York Times that the corrupt former leaders of the FBI, almost all fired or forced to leave the agency for some very bad reasons, opened up an investigation on me, for no reason & with no proof, after I fired Lyin\u2019 James Comey, a total sleaze!\u201d the president tweeted [sphincter delinked<\/em>].<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In short, Trump and the the Republican Reich say this is fake news from what they call the "deep state".  This could not be further from the truth.<\/font><\/p>\n
