He said: “Let me just tell you the nuclear war would have happened if you have weak people”.

These texts include the reaction of the two to the firing of FBI Director James Comey on May 9, 2017.
President Donald Trump took fresh aim Friday at James Comey, claiming the former Federal Bureau of Investigation director is “either very sick or very dumb” and is lying about having leaked classified information. “It’s all lies and a terrible thing, this going on”. Where are Memos on Clinton, Lynch & others?’ Trump continued. Forty-seven percent of white men and white voters without college degrees also said they trusted Trump more than Comey. He also suggested Comey leaked classified information in the memos.
“I don’t”, Comey added.
Depending where you sit along the partisan fault line slicing through the American political scene, James Comey could be either a hero or a villain. “I’m saying, where do they even find these people?”
‘It was such poor judgment, ‘ Comey said. “We have great people in the Republican party”, he said. He said he sent Richman a copy of the two-page unclassified memo and “asked him to get the substance of it out to the media” – which he did.
The president also claimed that Comey committed an “illegal act” by passing information to Columbia Prof. “He’s not making up the fact that they called up Cheryl Mills and said, “Hey Cheryl, what time can we come over and you hand over the emails you want us to have?'” When Fox News’ Bret Baier asked Comey to respond on “Special Report” to Trump’s charges, Comey denied leaking classified information at all.
‘Therefore, the Special Council [sic] was established based on an illegal act? But Comey wrote in the memos that part of Trump’s explanation to him for why it could not be true was that he never stayed the night in Moscow.
“I am not sure of the proper classification here”, Comey wrote, “so have chosen SECRET”. But later, he gave Richman four memos, including the one he gave Richman originally.
But the second memo is said to have information that was later upgraded to “confidential” – the lowest level of classification.
“Fox & Friends” additionally asked Trump about his thoughts on Ronny Jackson withdrawing from his nomination to be the head of the Department of Veteran Affairs. Nobody but Comey himself. The inspector general is investigating the FBI’s decisions surrounding the events of the 2016 election.
The morning after Mr. Mueller’s appointment, Mr. Strzok texted, “I could hear the shredders in the WH and DoJ running from here”, CNN reported. Trump has also reportedly considered removing other top-ranking Justice Department officials, including Sessions, who recused himself from the Russian Federation probe against Trump’s wishes; Mueller; Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who appointed and oversees Mueller; and FBI Director Christopher Wray, whom Trump appointed to replace Comey.
Trump had to be reminded by the Fox hosts that it is his administration’s Justice Department led by someone he nominated, Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
The dossier included some salacious details that of activies Trump allegedly engaged in on that trip, a claim Trump has denied.

Mr Magoo is a bumbling elderly myopic cartoon character. “He illegally leaked CLASSIFIED INFORMATION but doesn’t understand what he did or how serious it is”, the president tweeted. Will the Witch Hunt continue?’
