Trump suspends visit to FBI after he was told he would not be greeted warmly

Here's more evidence Trump has been lying about why he fired James Comey. He was supposed to visit the FBI but he suspended his visit because, turns out, he was told the FBI agents would not greet him warmly. According to NBC:

The White House has abandoned the idea of President Trump visiting FBI headquarters after being told he would not be greeted warmly, administration officials told NBC News.

Amid the continuing fallout over his decision to fire FBI Director James Comey, Trump was considering an appearance at the FBI's J Edgar Hoover Building in downtown Washington, DC. The White House publicly floated the idea as recently as Thursday morning.

...

But that idea was dropped later Thursday, administration officials said, after the FBI told the White House the optics would not be good. FBI officials made clear that the president would not draw many smiles and cheers, having just unceremoniously sacked a very popular director.

That report contradicts for the second time the claim by the Trump White house that Comey was unpopular, had low morale and had a "near uprising" at the FBI.

That's not all. The NBC report points out that many at the FBI voted for Trump, but after the firing of Comey "few were ready to meet with him [Trump] at the bureau with open arms."

So as you can see, Trump has no way of justifying Comey's firing now. The only thing left for him is to admit he fired him because Comey was investigating the collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.
