President Trump is busy this morning commenting on the mainstream media's news-du-jour.
After reports showing that former FBI Director Comey had decided to exonerate Hillary (and grant immunity to her staffers) long before any interviews were undertaken, Trump lashes out at the swamp's "rigged system"...
Wow, looks like James Comey exonerated Hillary Clinton long before the investigation was over...and so much more. A rigged system!

As The Hill reports, the president's defense of Kelly comes after The Washington Post on Thursday reported Trump was growing peeved with Kelly's strict regulation of the Oval Office.
"He doesn’t like how Kelly’s handling him. He’s turning on people that are very close to him," a friend of Trump's told The Post.
The Post also reported that Trump loyalists in the White House refer to Kelly as "the church lady" for his strict handling and that the president has reached out to people outside of the White House, including his former chief strategist Stephen Bannon.
We look forward to more 'sourced' reports dismissing Trump's dismissals.
