Comey is not a crook.
Well, there is only one conclusion left from all of this. Trump is a crook.
So are they all, all honourable men [Mark Anthony, funeral oration, Julius Caesar].
I do not believe this!! This story has no proof. The bogus fisa warrants are admitted!!!!! What the hell is going on? The justice department was 100 % complicit in illegally wire tapping the Trump Tower!! Comey should go to jail!! Not lieing to the NYT!!
FAKE NEWS or, at most, a complete mischaracterization of what he FBI is doing. Consider the source folks...let’s wait to hear directly from Comey.
What I still see off here is that Obama’s people and the press and now the NYTimes report re: Comey all have denials that Obama “ordered” the surveillance as Trump supposedly had claimed he had. Instead what Trump had tweeted was merely that Obama “had” the surveillance done, which could perhaps only be provable by evidence at the level of Obama not having stopped it after he was informed of it, signed the FISA request or directive, or was given information from it.
That’s all I got. But Comey has seemed like a snake all along—like too many of Obama’s hires. He should have had Rudy in there as chief of staff and kept the non-loyal types out of his admin.
If the claim is substantiated, Mr. Comey’s resignation should be on President Trump’s desk within the week.
wait. Is Comey insinuating that the FBI worked with the White House after all? Why would Zero approving a wire tap make the FBI ‘illegal’?
Now that Trump’s President, it should be easy enough to produce the FISA warrants, even if only redacted versions.
That’s what I’m waiting for.
Too serious of an issue to depend on the press as a source.
Consider the source.
“...senior American officials said ...”
I can absolutely believe that Obola,his pals,The Former Twelfth Lady,BillyBob and,for that matter,everybody at DNC Headquarters (past and present) is capable of doing what DJT accuses.
But unless Trump had absolute proof to backup his claim this thing could backfire on him bigtime!
Lynch probably gave the order.
If so, then he knew that Comey would, at some time, be smoked out and commit himself to whom he has allegiance.
If this is true about Comey, then his allegiance is to the Clinton's and not to the United States and its citizens.
Mr. Comey made the request on Saturday after Mr. Trump leveled his allegation on Twitter. Mr. Comey has been working to get the Justice Department to knock down Mr. Trumps claim because there is no evidence to support it and it insinuates that the F.B.I. broke the law, the officials said.
A spokesman for the F.B.I. declined to comment. Sarah Isgur Flores, the spokeswoman for the Justice Department, also declined to comment.
Remember, this is "what the meaning of 'is,' is." Bunch.
Comey is NOT quoted.
Unnamed sources do NOT quote Comey.
According to unnamed sources, the statement by Trump "needs to be corrected." Not withdrawn, corrected. (Comey may, or may not have even said it, but if he did, the existence of a "wiretap" is probably technically untrue, and should be corrected to "surveillance.")
Spokesmen for the FBI do NOT verify the story.
Spokesmen for the DOJ do NOT verify the story.
This is The New York Times. It's BS, and doesn't make a single verifiable statement.
Trump didn't say it was the FBI, and who says it would have been illegal if there allegedly was actual "probable cause" as some claim?
This story doesn't even make sense. Sounds like bar talk from some pissed off Obama low-level jackass spouting BS to their reporter friend at the country club Saturday night.
Clapper (a known liar) said the FBI had never even sought a FISA request.. that he would know about it if they had.
But, he ALSO said... “there are other agencies that have the authority to request such”.
Really? Like who? CIA? Did this all come through Brennan? Or are there other agencies...?
This SUMBITCH NEEDS TO GO — NOW!!!
Why exactly is Mr. Comey still employed?
I have a feeling U.S Military intelligence is going to get involved under Trumps orders.
this may be fake news by the slimes.
