I claimed that Trump admitted to obstructing justice.
Mark claimed that Trump did not explicitly say he obstructed justice. Mark claimed Trump fired Comey because he wasn’t doing his job. Mark claimed Trump has every right to fire someone. I tried to tell him that Trump can’t fire somebody for an illegal purpose but he kept talking over me. Mark claimed he can fire anybody he wants. I say that in fact, Trump can’t fire anyone for a corrupt purpose. Mark ended up calling me a liar and hanging up on me.
So check out the Washington Post, May 31, 2018, “All the reasons it’s fair to assume Trump fired Comey because of the Russia investigation”
Specifically:
The most obvious evidence opposing Trump’s point is what Trump himself said on national television two days after Comey was fired. In that infamous interview with NBC News’s Lester Holt, Trump explained his decision as follows:
“[Deputy Attorney General Rod J. Rosenstein] made a recommendation, but regardless of recommendation I was going to fire Comey knowing there was no good time to do it. And in fact when I decided to do it, I said to myself, I said, you know, this Russia thing with Trump and Russia is a made-up story.”
Holt had not raised the subject of Russia. He had simply asked about the timeline of the firing. Trump raised Russia as a prompt for the firing of his own volition.
Again, that’s only the most obvious evidence. There is also:
Trump’s comments in the Oval Office to senior Russian officials. The day after Comey was fired, Trump hosted Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and then-Ambassador Sergey Kislyak in the Oval Office. During that meeting, Trump reportedly told Lavrov and Kislyak that he had fired Comey, “a real nut job.”
“I faced great pressure because of Russia,” Trump reportedly said. “That’s taken off.”
Notice that at NO time did Trump say he fired Comey because he wasn’t doing a good job. He said the reason he fired Comey was because of the Russia thing TWICE.
Let’s recap:
“And in fact when I decided to do it, I said to myself, I said, you know, this Russia thing with Trump and Russia is a made-up story.”
And:
“I faced great pressure because of Russia,” Trump reportedly said. “That’s taken off.”
Then Mark said that he won’t let me tell things that are patently untrue:

So I tried to call Mark back and tell him about that Washington Post article. He cut me off immediately.

Then some dimwitted Faux News fan called in to praise Mark for being so rude to me. You can tell this guy isn’t to bright. He never has anything intelligent to say and he can’t defend his views, so all he’s left with is attacking me personally.

He had to chuckle at himself. He’s a big man when he controls the microphone.
