Before James Comey testified before Congress, he met with Robert
Mueller, the special counsel appointed to investigate Russian interference in
the last election. Robert Mueller is a good friend of James Comey. In my
opinion, here is a paraphrase of the conversation which transpired between the
two.
James Comey: I am really pissed off at Trump for firing me!
Robert Mueller: I can see how you feel that way.
James Comey: I know that he only fired me because he
dislikes me.
Robert Mueller: We both know that you have done nothing that
you should be fired for.
James Comey: Can you help me get back at him?
Robert Mueller: Sure. What do you need?
James Comey: Well, just what can I say to the committee
regarding Trump’s inquiry about the Michael Flynn investigation that can get
Trump into hot water?
Robert Mueller: You know if you directly accuse him of
obstruction of justice, you can be prosecuted for a felony. So all you can do
in make statements that imply that he might have been thinking wrong.
James Comey: I don’t know if that will be enough. Can you
use my testimony to justify an investigation on your part? After all, you have
plenty of leeway to do just that.
Robert Mueller: If you can project the proper innuendo, I can
probably do that. Let’s prepare the exact words you will use.
