The full rationale for Comey’s firing - at least, the official version - comes from a memo written by Deputy AG Rosenstein.This afternoon, the FBI sent a letter to Senate Judiciary Chair Chuck Grassley supplementing the Comey testimony, explaining how the emails actually got on Weiner’s computer. Apparently the FBI has been deliberating how to handle the incorrect statement Comey made since, and how to correct the record.In reality, Abedin forwarded a few Clinton emails (it’s unclear whether these were classified or unclassified), and the rest ended up on Weiner’s laptop via backups of Abedin’s BlackBerry.

Comey said Clinton aide Huma Abedin forwarded “hundreds of thousands” of emails to her husband, Anthony Weiner, for him to print for her, some of which contained classified information. On Monday, reports emerged that Comey had given inaccurate testimony to Congress last week. Comey’s handling of the email investigation is an old story (it predates Trump asking him to stay on as FBI director when he arrived in office) but the fallout has continued.“While I greatly appreciate you informing me, on three separate occasions, that I am not under investigation, I nevertheless concur with the judgment of the Department of Justice that you are not able to effectively lead the bureau,” he wrote. In a letter from Trump to Comey, also made public, Trump insisted that the firing is by no means, definitely not, in no way related to an investigation into his associates’ ties to Russia.A statement from the White House press secretary reads, “President Trump acted based on the clear recommendations of both Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and Attorney General Jeff Sessions.” Comey has been fired by the White House - with the official justification being Comey’s handling of the FBI investigation into Hillary Clinton’s emails.
