But Mueller is still investigating if Russia had something to do with the 2016 Presidential election. He is also still trying to get an interview with Trump to determine if he fired Comey because the President is corrupt. President Trump volunteered to speak with Mueller, but Rudy Giuliani, the President’s new head lawyer, advised against it.
Comey, on the other hand, is very consistent in his telling of his interactions with the President. He gave many details in recent months in interviews, his book, and his memos.
Trump’s lawyers are using the 13-page letter they submitted about Comey for their legal strategy. They want to discredit Comey and make him a witness that has no value.
A Justice Department inspector general also made a new report this weekend. It criticizes Comey for withdrawing from the Clinton investigation. Calling Comey’s career history into question could be more helpful as the Trump team to tries harm Comey’s credibility. At the same time, others are pointing out that Comey’s motives are not political as Bill Clinton was a Democrat and Trump a Republican.
