Yeah that one got me confused a little too.

What confuses me more is your president just freely stated that it was not the recommendation that led to the Comey firing. Pence lied, my minions all lied, it was really me the whole time! Oh, and talking about Comey and the investigation - that Russian story is all made up, that's what he said to himself when firing Comey. And then repeated it on TV, because who gives.

What gets me super-confused though: Can Trump really ask the FBI director directly if he is part of the investigation against his transiton team? And could Comey freely answer that question? Is that fine and legal?

I want to add a question, since it's the impeachment thread: Can this actually bring him down? Directly connecting firing Comey to made up Russia/Trump story and/or asking the FBI director for information about an ongoing investigation against his team. That looks very wrong to me.
