And the leaks just keep coming. When the American people voted to elect Donald Trump as President, never did they think sensitive information would pour out of the White House the way it has been over the past few months. A new report by the New York Times, to be taken with a grain of salt, as always, claims Special Counsel Robert Mueller was leaked the draft letter laying out the rationale behind former FBI head James Comey’s firing. The letter was crafted by President Trump and top aide Stephen Miller.

The New York Times reports:

The special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, has obtained a letter that President Trump and a top political aide drafted in the days before Mr. Trump fired the F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, which explains the president’s rationale for why he planned to dismiss the director. The May letter had been met with opposition from Donald F. McGahn II, the White House counsel, who believed that some of its contents were problematic, according to interviews with a dozen administration officials and others briefed on the matter. Mr. McGahn successfully blocked the president from sending Mr. Comey the letter, which Mr. Trump had composed with Stephen Miller, one of the president’s top political advisers. A different letter, written by the deputy attorney general, Rod J. Rosenstein, and focused on Mr. Comey’s handling of the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s private email server, was ultimately sent to the F.B.I. director on the day he was fired.

It is unclear how much of Mr. Trump’s rationale focuses on the Russia investigation, although Mr. Trump told aides at the time he was angry that Mr. Comey refused to publicly say that Mr. Trump himself was not under investigation. Mr. Comey later said in testimony to Congress that the president was not under investigation.

As TGP reported on Thursday, Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Trump-Russia probe has reached a new, shambolic low. The IRS’s Criminal Investigations unit, with access to the President’s tax returns, is now assisting in the investigation. As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, President Trump called it.
