*''Politico'', ''New York Times'', ''Washington Post'', CNN, AP, ''Reuters''  and ''Wall Street Journal'' all report the same [[fake news]] leak that Trump fired Comey after Comey requested additional resources to investigate Russian interference in the election. The ''New York Times''  Matthew Rosenberg and Matt Apuzzo, and CNN’s Sara Murray report the fake news without attribution. The ''Washington Post''’s Philip Rucker, Ashley Parker, Sari Horwitz and Robert Costa wrote news articles in the style of opinion pieces as if it were established fact. They reported, “Every time FBI Director James B. Comey appeared in public, an ever-watchful President Trump grew increasingly agitated that the topic was the one that he was most desperate to avoid: Russia.” (Other reporters —Reuters’ Dustin Volz and Susan Cornwell— did properly attribute the claim.) The Justice Department, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and Acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe said the media reports were untrue and McCabe added that the FBI’s Russia investigation was “adequately resourced.” The cover narrative is intended to justify the appointment of a Special Counsel.
