Ah! Good one! But sort of weak and whiny, so I can only award half a point.

Too bad snide is not a valuable commodity.

Comey rips media for 'dead wrong' Russia stories

“There have been many, many stories based on — well, lots of stuff, but about Russia that are dead wrong,” Comey said.

Comey said stories about Russia that are based on classified leaks have been a persistent problem for the FBI because news organizations have often received bad information.

Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) asked the former FBI director about a bombshell New York Times report from Feb. 14 titled “Trump Campaign Aides Had Repeated Contacts With Russian Intelligence.”

“Phone records and intercepted calls show that members of Donald J. Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign and other Trump associates had repeated contacts with senior Russian intelligence officials in the year before the election, according to four current and former American officials,” the Times wrote.

Cotton asked Comey if that story was “almost entirely wrong,” and Comey said that it was.

“The challenge — and I’m not picking on reporters — about writing stories about classified information, is the people talking about it often don’t really know what’s going on, and those of us who actually know what’s going on are not talking about it,” Comey said. “We don’t call the press and say, ‘Hey, you got that thing wrong.’

In his opening remarks, Comey confirmed that he told Trump three times he was not personally the target of an FBI investigation.

CNN reported that Comey would testify that he never told Trump that he wasn't the target of an investigation.

it may become necessary to get Donald Trump under oath.

Sorry, osso. I'm just enjoying watching the slowly dawning realization that their toddler cheeto Fuhrer may be in trouble.
