What action has he taken to stop the investigations? Aside from your belief that he fired Comey to stop the investigations into Russia...what actions has he actually taken to stop the investigations? Any what so ever?
The fact that he did fire Comey and he explicitly indicated that it was to stop the investigations, to 'relieve pressure', etc...
You can call what he said a "distraction", but if it is a "distraction" then so is everything else he said. Sorry Tanngrisnir, you don't get to decide whether something is a distraction or not just because it may or may not fit a narrative that you want. It's either all of it, or none of it.
This is my opinion based on the available evidence and the totality of circumstances surrounding that evidence. Trump has contradicted himself and his spokespeople several times on this very issue. He can't keep his story straight, but the one constant are his statements about the Russian investigations, requesting Comey back off on Flynn, etc....
And like I said, I'm ignoring that other article because its based on hearsay. Unless you can provide links to actual documentation outside of "official said". IE: Anonymous sources.
The White House was asked specifically and directly if that is what Trump said, and they did not deny it.
Might not be enough for you, but it is for me based on the statements and behavior I've already cited.
