Hmmm …
Have you ever heard of an American chap called James Comey?
He’s the now ex-head of the USA’s Federal Bureau of Investigation.
He’s the ex-head …
As President Trump sacked him last night.
Apparently for making a dogs dinner of the investigation in Hilary Clinton’s emails, during the presidential election, last year.
Director Comey was also in charge of the investigations into the Trump campaign team’s links with Russia during the same election.
To me?
Sacking the chap who’s investigating you seems …
Well …
Let’s put it this way …
I can smell rat.
How about you … ?
