EXCLUSIVE: Trump says exposing 'corrupt' FBI probe could be 'crowning achievement' of presidency

Source: The Hill

President Trump in an exclusive interview with Hill.TV said Tuesday he ordered the release of classified documents in the Russia collusion case to show the public the FBI probe started as a “hoax,” and that exposing it could become one of the “crowning achievements” of his presidency.

“What we’ve done is a great service to the country, really,” Trump said in a 45-minute, wide-ranging interview in the Oval Office.

“I hope to be able to call this, along with tax cuts and regulation and all the things I’ve done… in its own way this might be the most important thing because this was corrupt,” he said.

Trump also said he regretted not firing former FBI Director James Comey immediately instead of waiting until May 2017, confirming an account his lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, gave Hill.TV earlier in the day that Trump was dismayed in 2016 by the way Comey handled the Hillary Clinton email case and began discussing firing him well before he became president.

a major release of critical information...turned out to be a dud, just like this will be (rump's release). If anything, it will probably backfire on him.

Also (added later)...if this was such a great thing, the 'crowning achievement of his term in office', then why hasn't he done already? Obviously there's a lot more than what's he is saying about this whole thing that is immediately suspect. He's already proven himself to be a habitual liar, so why is this going to be more believable?

Giving PUtin control of our government is his top achievement - hell he defunded entire depts. just to foil congress and ensure no sanctions were put on his master and that his master is totally free to hack every election so his hater rw anti-American, pro-Russian stays always in control and he's free to grift and steal and torture and cage brown people and let them die from the effects of a hurricane. That's what he's spent the most time on - pure hate against brown people and the working class.

As always, if his orange assmouth or his tiny little orange hands are moving, it's a total lie! ALWAYS!
