In an OpEd in Thursday's NY Post, Paul Sperry asserts that the real reason Señor Trumpanzee canned Jim Comey was because the FBI wasn't investigating something Trump is obsessed with: "Obama aides’ illegal leaks of classified information-- leaks aimed at undermining the incoming Trump administration."
