    "Trump spins conspiracy theory around Comey 'no comment'

    The president of the United States tweets from his official account a snippet of testimony in which the director of the FBI declines to comment on classified briefings between himself and the past president.

    The current president frames the testimony as a dodge by Comey, saying that the director “refuses to deny” he briefed Obama.

    Perfectly equally, of course, Comey here “refuses to confirm.”

    But that’s now how Trump wishes to spin the moment. The tweet suggests that Comey here is engaging in implicit confirmation. Trump is encouraging conspiracy-minded speculation about Comey and Obama. The kind of speculation that would discredit the integrity of the FBI, Congress and the presidency and of these proceedings."
