No one knew of the FBI investigation of the Trump campaign, even former DNI Clapper, until Comey testified as such on March 20th. Trump firing him any time after this date reeks of a coverup no matter the explanation.

That's when Comey publicly confirmed it, but news about the investigation has been leaking since the moment Trump was elected.

That's just not true. The first credible reporting on the existence of the investigation came from CNN, 10 days prior to Comey's testimony in March.

CNN is credible for anything relating to Trump? What was the actual source?
