American lawyer, former director of FBI James Comey has accused US President Donald Trump of being “obsessed” with him on February 21. Just a day before, Trump had blamed Comey for leaking the classified information and then lying to the Congress in a tweet which was initially about the 40-month prison sentence which has been ruled for Roger Stone. However, in a calm response to US President's anger, Come just asked him, “why are you so obsessed with me?” through a Mariah Carey GIF.

The former FBI director was in charge of the investigation into whether there was any correspondence between the Trump campaign in 2016 and Russia's meddling to alter the outcome of elections. However, the US President had dismissed the entire inquiry as 'witch hunt' and claimed that it had partisan roots. On February 20, Trump had said that he had no plans to pardon his long time ally and advisor but declared that Roger Stone would be cleared during his trial. The US President also attacked the Stone issue as it started speculation that he would pardon to his longtime adviser. In reportedly the 12 minutes he talked about Stone's case, Trump claimed how he was unfairly treated while Hillary Clinton was not prosecuted for her private server.
