President Trump didn't do himself any favors by firing FBI Director Comey and then contradicting his advisers by later taking sole credit for that decision. With the appointment of Special Counsel Robert Mueller, Comey's powerful testimony last week, and Attorney General Jeff Sessions evasive performance this week all eyes are now on the Russian campaign influence investigation. Any interested person would interpret the president's maneuvers in this affair thus far as suspicious at the very least. President Trump has succeeded in converting a minor blip on the radar screen into the elephant in the room.
