Wrong, according to the new acting head of the FBI. Wow, when will the corrupt media stop their lying.

Acting FBI Director REFUTES Reports that Comey Asked for More Funding for Russia Investigation (VIDEO)

On Wednesday the Washington Post reported that former FBI Director James Comey sought more resources for his Russia probe just days before he was fired by President Trump.

Comey was fired by President Trump on Tuesday.


According to the Washington Post:

Last week, then-FBI Director James B. Comey requested more resources from the Justice Department for his bureau’s investigation into collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russian government, according to two officials with knowledge of the discussion.

Comey, who was fired by President Trump on Tuesday, made the request in a meeting last week with Rod J. Rosenstein, the deputy attorney general, and later briefed the chair and Democratic ranking member of the Senate Intelligence Committee on Monday, the officials said.

The story was widely reported by the liberal mainstream media.

Too bad the story was complete garbage.

The Department of Justice refuted the report Wednesay saying Comey DID NOT ask Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein for more resourses for the Russian conspiracy probe.

      Bret BaierVerified account@BretBaier
      DOJ spokesman tells reporters the story of FBI Dir Comey requesting more money for Russia probe from Dep AG Monday is "Absolutely False"

      Now this…
      On Thursday Acting FBI Director McCabe was asked if Comey had requested additional funding for the Russia investigation.
      McCabe reponded:

      “I strongly believe the Russia investigation is adequately resourced.”

      McCabe went on to say a request for funding for an individual investigation would be highly irregular.

How about some WV fake news...
Manchin: ‘That’s a fact’ Comey sought more resources on Russia probe

WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin claimed Wednesday that fired FBI director James Comey recently sought additional resources for his investigation into Russian influence in the 2016 presidential election. “That’s a fact,” Manchin told reporters during a conference call. “Comey was seeking more assistance. (It came) within the last week to 10 days.”

So Manchin knows more than the current head of the FBI? Interesting.

What information to Durbin and Manchin have, that Justice and the acting director do not have?

Yes. The new FBI head needs to get up to speed on what's going on with his own agency. What does it matter anyways? If the FBI needs more $ for their investigation, then congress or whoever needs to step up and provide it.

That is a far cry from claiming that Comey already requested it when his own lieutenant states that it is not true. Why would the Wash Post lie about it? Rhetorical question.
