WASHINGTON — While President Trump stayed unusually silent on James Comey, his lawyer stressed Thursday that Comey's testimony proved that Trump did not collude with Russia during last year's election nor try to obstruct justice in the FBI investigation — and went on to accuse the former FBI director of directing unauthorized news leaks designed to damage the president.

Comey’s testimony, attorney Marc Kasowitz said, "makes clear that the president never sought to impede the investigation into attempted Russian interference in the 2016 election."

"And in fact, according to Mr. Comey, the president told Mr. Comey 'it would be good to find out” in that investigation if there were “some ‘satellite’ associates of his who did something wrong.'"

He didn't need authorization. Thanks to Trump, Comey was no longer a government employee when he disclosed the unclassified information.
 
What!? Somebody's lawyer says their innocent!? Well then it must be.

Of course, we know that what he and his lawyer have to say is BS. "It would be good to find out.." why? So he could give the FBI Director a thinly veiled directive to drop the investigation of them too as he did with Flynn?
