Wrong again, shit-for-brains. Washington Times (among others):
"Mr. Comey said he used a law professor friend at Columbia University as a go-between to share information with The New York Times. He didn’t name the professor, but said he wanted to get information out after Mr. Trump took to Twitter to dispute that he had asked the FBI to let former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn off the hook.
“I asked him to, because I thought that might prompt the appointment of a special counsel. And so I asked a close friend of mine to do it,” Mr. Comey testified."
How can idiots like you be so chronically wrong? Never mind. That's EXACTLY the reason. You're an idiot.
