| Hiku said: I don't recall if what you just described was supposedly a topic they had during their meeting, but even if it was, Trump didn't just want Comey to do that. There was also asking him to let the Flynn investigation go, and asking for loyalty. |
Actually, Trump "hoped" that Comey would drop his investigation about Flynn and his testimony supports this, big difference ... (Trump didn't order Comey to drop the Flynn investigation like the latter thought so that's confusion on his part)
I think you're reading too much into the whole loyalty thing ... (Trump only sees value with those at his side)
And in turn that Justice Department reports to the President so going by the chain of command, Trump DOES have jurisdiction over the FBI since he able to dismiss James Comey on a personal basis ... (he could dismiss the rest of the executive branch as well except for the vice-president)
