Its official, Trump now under investigation.

[Charles]

Generally cover ups are not done in the open in the full light of day so to speak.

Right, thats why Trump cleared the room before speaking to Comey.

I love that reply.

This was not unexpected - but the only real crime here is the FBI leaks - if there are in fact leaks.

Well done! Direct from the RNP list of Talking Points. They will be pleased to have such a loyal parrot:

Actually the real crime, if proven, is Obstruction of Justice. Apparently Special Counsel Robert Mueller thinks there's sufficient reason to extend the investigation to Trump himself. We all knew this is where it was going.

Tass, but that is a fact - these leaks are a crime. Is that crime OK with you?

I don't think Mueller had a choice but to investigate obstruction with so many high profile Demon-crats demanding it.

Of course he had a choice, because it's an absurd allegation. But he's already made it clear that he's in the pocket of the Democrats and is going to do everything he can to give them what they want.

On a related note, if this story turns out to be true, who on Mueller's team is leaking details to the press? Or is Mueller following the example of his good friend James Comey and leaking the information himself?

Where has Mueller confirmed that? His OWN statement, not "officials"

Wake me up when there is some actual evidence of anything. This is more fake news.

The OP article is only quoting a Washington Post article, so basically they can't be bothered to write their own news. So let's follow the rabbit trail to the Washington Post.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world...=.428f26b6c311officials said.
...
Investigators have also been looking for any evidence of possible financial crimes among Trump associates, officials said.
...
Trump had received private assurances from then-FBI Director James B. Comey starting in January that he was not personally under investigation. Officials sayspeaking on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly, said
...
The obstruction-of-justice investigation of the president began days after Comey was fired on May 9, according to people familiar with the matter an official said.

Just more anonymous sources. You libs should have learned by now since you were so burned by these anonymous source stories in the past.

This is just more rumor-mongering.

When there is actual named official statements, get back to me.

yawn.

You seem to trust Trump on twitter: "I am being investigated for firing the FBI Director by the man who told me to fire the FBI Director! Witch Hunt"

https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/...01471999864833

So, was it fake news that he was under investigation?

That Tweet seems rather general in the sense that Mueller is, broadly speaking investigating Trump.

Here's what the President had to say specifically about the the Washington Compost story:

"They made up a phony collusion with the Russians story, found zero proof, so now they go for obstruction of justice on the phony story. Nice"
