I hear the same reply over and over again from Trump supporters.
I'm back from my vacation and here's my 2 cents on the issue:

1. In fairness to the President, he wasn't PERSONALLY under investigation .
Plus, we have no clear evidence he was directly involved with Russian election collusion.

2. However, it looks pretty damn bad that the President
attempted to pressure Comey to stop the Flynn investigation.
Comey was also clear he didn't trust Trump and said he lied.
That COULD be obstruction of justice. We'll see what special cos. Mueller reveals .

3. Here's additional info we now have confirmed:
a. Gen Flynn has been investigated for criminal acts.

b. Former AG Lynch promoted Comey's suspicion when she met
with Bill Clinton on her plane. Plus, it sounds shady that AG Lynch
instructed Comey to refer to the Hillary investigation as a "matter" .
FYI, the Hillary criminal investigation was concluded and closed.

* Trump backers assumed she'd be found guilty, she wasn't.
In the same light, we have a long way to go before Pres. Trump
is worthy of impeachment and conviction. ;)

c. There should be no more debate now on Russia hacking into
our election systems , BUT they failed to change any actual votes counted/cast.

Today is just a big news day in this on going saga.

When did this happen?

Comey is very trustworthy. I totally understand. Says that he doesn't know Trump very well at all but then says that he didn't trust him and he is a liar. Interesting. Which one is it?

Also, this upstanding citizen now admitted he committed a crime by leaking to the press, let alone if he felt like he was being obstructed then he committed a crime by telling noone/not resigning.

Also, in regards to that memo that he leaked he lies and said he did because of Trump's tweet. Unfortunately, the tweet was a day after the leak. He is a liar. Apparently you have a thing for liars and criminals.

After Lynch Pressure, Comey Agreed To Mislead Public In Accordance With Clinton Campaign
Hidden Americans ^ | 06/08/2017 | Richard Saunders
Posted on 6/8/2017, 4:00:12 PM by nodwam

During the Senate Intel hearing Thursday, former FBI director James Comey revealed that during the 2016 election, then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch ordered him to downplay the investigation into Hillary Clinton by calling it a "matter" instead of a criminal investigation and Comey obliged.

Comey mislead the entire country to go along with the Clinton campaign talking points. He's a democrat shill that bowed down to political pressure to protect Hillary Clinton.

Senator Lankford probed Comey saying," And then you made a comment earlier about the Attorney General, previous AG [Lynch] asking you about the investigation on the Clinton emails, saying that you were asked not to call it an 'Investigation' anymore, but to call it a 'Matter.' And you said that confused you. Can you give us additional details on that?"

Comey replied, "Well, it concerned me, because we were at the point where we refused to confirm the existence of an investigation --as we usually do-- for months,. And it was getting to a place where that looked silly, because the campaigns were talking about interacting with the FBI in the course of our work.

The Clinton campaign at the time was using all kinds of euphemisms, 'security review,' 'matter.' Things like that.

For what was going on. We were getting to a place where the Attorney General and I were going to have to testify and talk publicly about it, and I wanted to know if she would authorize us to confirm we had an investigation. And she said yes, but don't call it that, call it a 'Matter.' And I said why would I do that? And [Lynch] said just call it a 'Matter.'

And again, you look back in hindsight, should I have resisted more? I just said this wasn't a hill worth dying on, so I said, okay, the press is going to completely ignore it, and that is what happened. When I said we opened a matter, they all reported the FBI had an investigation open. And that concerned me because the language tracked the way the campaign was talking about the FBI's work, and that is concerning... It gave the impression that the Attorney General was looking to align the way we talked about our work with the way a political campaign was describing the same activity, which was inaccurate. We had a criminal investigation open... And so that gave me a queasy feeling."

I disagree. Comey as dead honest and fair.
Plus he talked publically on the record , under oath.
Let's see how many others will be willing to do THAT?!

Here's my summary on each side:

1. Trump supporters want the focus totally on
him not being personally under investigation and no direct links to Russian collusion.
They want to believe that Trump is 100% exonerated and we can drop the Russia investigation.

2. Dems want to ignore the fact , that his testimony won't be enough evidence to
have congress draft articles of impeachment.

My conclusion: we aren't close to being done with this Russia investigation.
Special cons. Mueller should have the last big word on how bad this actually is.

And the Dem retardation continues.

The president has the right to ask any question he wants about an FBI investigation.

Only the President holds power in the Executive Branch, everyone else works under the POTUS. If Comey was so afraid or uncomfortable with Trump why did he keep meeting with him?

James Comey took notes as Director of the FBI of a conversation with the President, then leaked those notes to the press. That right there is the kind of coward you should fire.

I won't even go into the Clinton, Lynch, no obama note, false MSM narrative, and Comey straight shooter non-political bullshit.

Howard you're just the type of complete moron that would believe the lies the MSM has been feeding you.

If Comey admitted, under oath, that he leaked information, some of which might have been classified, possibly as a means of retaliation, why is he not prosecuted and/or jailed? The agency he used to head investigates and arrests many people for such offenses or for minor crimes. Was he "extremely careless" like Hillary and therefore exempt from the law?
Title: Re: Comey Testifies!
Post by: Yamcha on June 09, 2017, 06:20:20 AM
Comey is going to have to come back and correct his testimony (again). He lied under oath a few times.

What a shitshow this has become, and we have the Media to thank.

Yup, right now, the liberal dems are obsessed with getting Trump out of office.
Sadly the republican majority could be doing all you mentioned IF
Trump hadn't been so crass, making dumb tweets and being careless.

What's NOT happening now is exactly what I feared with a Trump presidency.
ANY other competent, experience republican could be well on his way to
fixing health care, tax reform, immigration , etc.

Talking big on the campaign trail got him elected.
BUT, his lack of experience and crass temperament caused him
 to stall out in actually getting things done.

AGAIN, I'm actually FOR many of the GOP's proposed policies.
I feared Trump would be such a buffoon, he'd stall any real legislative efforts in congress.

But your judgment on Trump is flawed.

I honestly think he'll get so frustrated that he eventually resigns with bitter resentment.
Working with congress and other world leaders requires a VERY different temperament from Trump.

Ever had a "gut" feeling about someone you don't know well? Trump has a reputation for lying.

Also, this upstanding citizen now admitted he committed a crime by leaking to the press, let alone if he felt like he was being obstructed then he committed a crime by telling noone/not resigning.

What's the crime? The leak was neither privileged or classified information. Additionally, Comey is a private citizen which frees him from the constraints of being a public employee.  

Also, in regards to that memo that he leaked he lies and said he did because of Trump's tweet. Unfortunately, the tweet was a day after the leak. He is a liar. Apparently you have a thing for liars and criminals.

Trump tweeted on the morning of May 12, "James Comey better hope that there are no "tapes" of our conversations before he starts leaking to the press!" "After his firing and this Trump tweet, Comey asked a close friend of his — Columbia law professor Daniel Richman — to leak the content of his memos to the media with the hope of triggering the appointment of a special counsel." https://www.axios.com/comey-testifies-in-front-of-senate-intel-committee-live-updates-2436847918.html

Guy is a dirtbag who got angry because he got rightly fired.
Getting angry because you got fired is a common reaction. It does not make someone a "dirtbag".

Rubio destroyed him and exposed the circus for what it was.

That's not my take on this. Noting how much has been leaked to the press as various entities investigate Russia’s interfering in the 2016 election – this investigation is so full of leaks, Rubio said, they sometimes “learn more from the press than in open hearings” – Rubio asked Comey, like he meant it to sting, why the “only thing never leaked is that the president is not under investigation.”

Comey declined to take the bait.

That's incorrect.  He wrote the memos on FBI letterhead in his government office using his government computer.  I think he probably broke the law, or at a minimum was extremely careless with government info.  And he leaked the contents of private conversations with his boss solely to protect his reputation.  Horrible move on his part that shattered his credibility.

Bingo

Without the existence of  the memo being leaked (along with some of its content) we would not have the special council today

There was nothing secret or confidential in the memo and he didn't break any laws by asking a friend to leak the contents of it to the press

BTW - I predict that Trump will never actually testify under oath even though it's reported today that he is willing to do so.

I do think that Dan Coats and Adm. Michael S. Rogers will be compelled  to testify about whether Trump pressured them in any way regarding ongoing investigations.  

Quote from  earlier this week

Quote
“I’m not satisfied with ‘I do not believe it is appropriate’ or ‘I do not feel I should answer,’” Mr. King said. “I want to understand a legal basis. You swore that oath to tell us the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. And today, you are refusing to do so. What is the legal basis for your refusal to testify to this committee?”

Mr. Coats replied, “I’m not sure I have a legal basis.”

OPINION: The damaging case against James Comey
thehill.com ^ | 6/9/17 | Jonathan Turley
Posted on 6/9/2017, 1:19:04 PM by ColdOne

The testimony of James Comey proved long on atmospherics and sort on ethics. While many were riveted by Comey’s discussion of his discomfort in meetings with President Trump, most seemed to miss the fact that Comey was describing his own conduct in strikingly unethical terms. The greatest irony is that Trump succeeded in baiting Comey to a degree that even Trump could not have imagined. After calling Comey a “showboat” and poor director, Comey proceeded to commit an unethical and unprofessional act in leaking damaging memos against Trump.

Comey described a series of ethical challenges during his term as FBI director. Yet, he almost uniformly avoided taking a firm stand in support of the professional standards of the FBI. During the Obama administration, U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch gave Comey a direct order to mislead the public by calling the ongoing investigation a mere “matter.” Rather than standing firm on the integrity of his department and refusing to adopt such a meaningless and misleading term, Comey yielded to Lynch while now claiming discomfort over carrying out the order.

ADVERTISEMENT When Trump allegedly asked for Comey to drop the investigation of Michael Flynn or pledge loyalty, Comey did not tell the president that he was engaging in wildly inappropriate conduct. He instead wrote a memo to file and told close aides. He now says that he wishes he had the courage or foresight to have taken a stand with the president.

However, the clearest violation came in the days following his termination. Comey admits that he gave the

Have you never heard the proverb, where there's smoke, there is fire?

The Whitewater investigation started out as an investigation about a land purchase in 1978 (for perspective - Clinton was elected POTUS in 1993)

That investigation ended with Clinton being impeached for lying about a blowjob

I'm not playing dumb. It's a common saying. Who knows what fire? It's all just speculation at this point. If there is a fire, the Special Counsel will probably find it and we may know source of the fire....or we may not.

Once again, I find you are talking in circles. It's as if you just arrived from some other planet so you don't know what's been going on....or it is actually you who is playing dumb.

Maybe you think I'm an "insider" and have information the public is not privy to. If I am, I wouldn't leak it anyway.

Comey suspects Loretta Lynch was working with Clintons
New York Post ^ | June 8, 2017 | Bob Fredericks
Posted on 6/8/2017, 9:57:25 AM by Meet the New Boss

Ousted FBI Director James Comey said Thursday that he suspected former Attorney General Loretta Lynch was in cahoots with the Hillary Clinton campaign last summer.

Lynch, he said, told him not to refer to the probe into Clinton’s private email server as an “investigation.”

She said just call it a matter. … That concerned me because that language tracked how the campaign was talking about the FBI’s work,” he said.

Former President Bill Clinton’s surprise meeting with Lynch at an Arizona airport also prompted him to go public with results of the FBI probe into the email server.

“That was the thing that capped it for me, that I had to do something separately to protect the credibility of the investigation, which meant both the FBI and the Justice Department,” Comey said

I'm not playing dumb. I just find it unfathomable that Trump *could* be facing criminal charges, but not a single person could tell me what exactly those charges should be (except for a few individuals screaming "treason").

Like I said in the other thread, the media is making this whole situation "guilty until proven innocent" for Trump.

As Harry Truman had on an oval office desk sign ; " The buck stops here."

Trump is POTUS and is the main one responsible for what goes on in the federal GOV.
He gets to make the big calls, but also has to take the heat.

Another old bit of wisdom here :

" If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen."

Prediction - This will end quite well for Comey and his reputation will be one of honesty and integrity when this is over.
Team Trump will end up being viewed as incompetent crooks . Of course, the loyal nuthuggers
will refuse to accept that and talk endlessly about goofy conspiracy theories that did him in. ::)

If I end up being right, how about using some lube and providing a reach-around next time you try to fuk me  ;D

He won't answer that or will say "obstruction" then ignore the fact that there is no way under the sun that that remotely constituted obstruction legally.

You do realize that the Russian stuff occurred under Obama's watch. Why didn't he or Comey do anything about it?

Even if there is no evidence, there is a heck of a lot of smoke. If there is evidence, it is unlikely the public will be informed about at this point.

What?  "Evidence" = smoke.  If there is no evidence, there is no smoke.  All you have is a loony conspiracy theory that you cannot even articulate.

"There is absolutely evidence to begin a case" for obstruction of justice by Trump, Bharara said in his first television interview since being fired by Trump in March.

"No one knows right now whether there is a provable case of obstruction," Bharara added. "[But] there's no basis to say there's no obstruction."

I don't think he needs to be found guilty of a crime to resign.
Special counselor Mueller will determine that with the investigation.
We can debate and argue all we want, but that's who will determine any criminal action of Trump.

Seriously now, I THINK Trump now feels being President is a lot harder and more
stressful then he ever imagined.
I'd love to see him pull it together and actually make America better then ever.

In my OPINION, Trump lacks the temperament to be an effective POTUS.
I look for him to resign when the heat really comes.

That's my OPINION and this is an open forum.

True.  Just as there's "no basis" for us not to believe Preet isn't a secret schmoe.  

Funny how that works.

On this you are right, the media is and will continue to milk these issues as long as people keep tuning in.
