The Spin

James Comey has been consistently in the crosshairs of Conservative uproar for simply doing his job and investigating leads. He didn't know the numbers he posted had a more sinister meaning and it was removed as soon as it came to his attention.

CNN

James Comey was the head FBI and we're supposed to believe that he "didn't realize" what the numbers mean. He's had it out for Trump since he first came into office and tried to get him thrown out with fabricated collusion allegations. He knew what he was doing on this occasion.
