Ooops.

I never asked Comey to stop investigating Flynn. Just more Fake News covering another Comey lie!

Just a reminder:

President Trump asked the FBI to drop its probe into former national security adviser Michael Flynn and urged then-FBI Director James B. Comey instead to pursue reporters in leak cases, according to associates of Comey who have seen private notes he wrote recounting the conversation.

According to the notes written by Comey following a February meeting with the president, Trump brought up the counterintelligence investigation into Flynn and urged Comey to drop the probe in the wake of the national security adviser’s resignation.

The conversation between Trump and Comey took place after a national security meeting. The president asked to speak privately to the FBI director, and the others left the room, according to the Comey associates, who, like other officials, spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to reveal internal discussions.

“I hope you can let this go,’’ Trump said, according to the Comey notes, which were described by the associates. Comey’s written account of the meeting is two pages long and highly detailed, the associates said.

Comey also testified to this under oath, before Congress.   Notes made at the time of the event are usually pretty persuasive evidence.  Notes confirmed by sworn testimony, are very solid evidence.

Trump tweets.  The best thing that's done for him so far is provide solid evidence for an obstruction of justice charge.
