Just in time for Drumpfy’s take off on his Excellent Adventure, the New York Times has revealed that he told his Russian buddies visiting the Oval Office that he “relieved great pressure on him,” according to a document summarizing the meeting.
“I just fired the head of the F.B.I. He was crazy, a real nut job,” Mr. Trump said, according to the document, which was read to The New York Times by an American official. “I faced great pressure because of Russia. That’s taken off.”
Further, he lied to Lavrov and Kislyak, because why should they be different from anyone else in the world.
Mr. Trump added, “I’m not under investigation.”

The White House document that contained Mr. Trump’s comments was based on notes taken from inside the Oval Office and has been circulated as the official account of the meeting. One official read quotations to The Times, and a second official confirmed the broad outlines of the discussion.
Bon Voyage.
