Did Donald Trump really ask FBI Director James Comey to shut down his Russia investigation?

Is this story real? Are you real? What is reality?

Tucker Carlson of Fox News is asking these tough questions.

If it seems like he's avoiding the news that the president of the United States may be engaged in obstruction of justice, don't be fooled. Tucker Carlson Tonight looks beyond Beltway politics to answer the big, existential questions.

It's a good thing Fox News fired Bill O'Reilly and replaced him with this guy. He sees the big picture. Or doesn't. You can't be sure, because what you think is happening often isn't. Think about that for awhile, and not Trump's total meltdown. Because that's what Tucker wants you to do. This is a journalist you can trust.

So thank you, Fox News. If it weren't for you we'd have nowhere to get our piping hot Tim Allen updates.
