Trump memo firing Comey was 'tinfoil helmet material': Weissmann book - Business Insider

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump speaks on the USS Iowa in San Pedro, Los Angeles, California, United States September 15, 2015.A draft memo that President Donald Trump composed laying out his reasons for firing then FBI director James Comey was "tinfoil helmet material," a former member of the special counsel Robert Mueller's team said.

"I read the document immediately, while Jim stood over my desk," Weissmann said, referring to the draft memo. "It was excruciatingly juvenile, disorganized, and brimming with spite — incoherent and narcissistic. You could almost feel the spittle coming off the paper.

The memo, which Trump drafted in May of that year with help from one of his top advisers, gave Mueller's team a valuable window into Trump's thinking in the days before he fired Comey. At the time, Comey was spearheading the FBI's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election. Trump and his adviser, Stephen Miller, put the memo together shortly after Comey confirmed the existence of the Russia probe to Congress.

The draft memo played a critical role in Mueller's obstruction-of-justice investigation into the president. Ultimately, the special counsel declined to make a "traditional prosecutorial judgment" on whether the president obstructed justice, citing a Justice Department memo that says a sitting president cannot be indicted.When asked if Mueller had let down the American public, Weissmann, "Absolutely, yep." He added: "I wouldn't phrase it as just Mueller.

DEMOCRATS, the MUELLER team and mainstream media is wrapped in tin foil from head to toe!
