Trump ‘morally unfit’ for office, fired FBI chief Comey says

– Possible obstruction of justice –

And Comey said the president may have obstructed justice when he asked him to drop an investigation into former national security advisor Michael Flynn.

“Possibly. I mean, it’s certainly some evidence of obstruction of justice,” Comey said. “It would depend upon other things that reflected on his intent.”

Trump and his aides have countered Comey’s media blitz by attacking his handling of the probe into Clinton’s emails.

Comey acknowledged in the ABC interview that his belief that Clinton would be elected president “was a factor” in his decision to reopen the email probe 11 days before the US election, a development that Clinton blames for her surprise defeat.

“I don’t remember spelling it out, but it had to have been, that she’s going to be elected president and if I hide this from the American people, she’ll be illegitimate the moment she’s elected, the moment this comes out,” Comey said.

Trump attacked him on Twitter.

“Unbelievably, James Comey states that Polls, where Crooked Hillary was leading, were a factor in the handling (stupidly) of the Clinton Email probe,” Trump said.

“In other words, he was making decisions based on the fact that he thought she was going to win, and he wanted a job. Slimeball!” he wrote.
