James Comey was fired as head of the FBI because James Comey refused to say that President Trump was in the clear with regard to the

mad about that, and so he fired James Colmy. He made that pretty clear at the time. Well, James Comey

That's why these memos became a big issue in the first place. It was on the basis of these memos that James Comey was called in front of Congress to testify. It was on the basis of these memos that James Comey got his big book deal, and it's on the basis of those memos that James Comey is now running around on television every single night. So yesterday, the DOJ turned over these

memos to Congress. There's some controversy related to this because remember, the DOJ had
