John Olivers Rants On Trump/Comey/Russia [VIDEO]

Deadline reports:

Capping the week, on Friday Trump threatened the man he fired as FBI director, tweeting, “James Comey better hope there are no ‘tapes’ of our conversations before he starts leaking to the press.”

Trump has “made it very clear he fired director of the FBI at least partially due to unhappiness with the bureau’s investigation into his campaign’s possible collusion with Russia,” Oliver said, calling his tweet “a borderline obstruction of justice, and the meaningless ratings of a confused old idiot.”

Oliver demanded that Congress get involved. “The Founding Fathers created a system of checks and balances to limit the power of the President, but it only works if someone f*cking checks, or balances,” Oliver said, warning members of Congress, “and if you don’t , it’s no longer on Trump. it’s on you.”
