Podesta: Trump ‘unfit’ for office
John Podesta says President Trump is “unfit” to serve as president.
In an interview with Politico, Hillary Clinton’s former campaign chairman called Trump “absolutely crazy,” pointing to his firing of FBI Director James Comey.
“It’s laughable, really laughable that Donald Trump would fire Jim Comey because of his interference which damaged Hillary Clinton. I mean, it was laughable from the very beginning,” Podesta said during the interview.
“Just a complete misreading of reality.”
{mosads}They White House initially said Comey was fired after Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein wrote a recommendation that cited Comey’s poor handling of the investigation into Clinton’s use of a private email server while secretary of State.
But Trump himself told NBC News last week that he would have fired Comey regardless of the recommendations, saying he did it because “this Russia thing with Trump and Russia is a made-up story.”
Podesta said he doesn’t think Comey should have been fired “given the circumstances that he was leading this investigation.”
