I also caught a peculiar look on Comey’s face during the hearing when the press was discussed. It gave me a gut feeling that he leaked this crap to the press.

Things that make you go hmmmmm. Interesting.

“I just keep asking how Russia helped Trump but no one will explain it to me.”

It’s called, the best defense is a good offense. The Left has made this up, is laying it all on the line to discredit, delay, and wink wink nod nod have someone hurt the President so he can “dissolve”.

“The only thing that either the Democrat Party and/or the main stream media is interested in is getting rid of Republicans, by hook or by crook”

How did that work out in the last election (not just the presidential)? On the downside, you neglected to mention quite a few republicans.

I realize that. My point is that the rats cannot have it both ways. You cannot say that the Russians helped Trump win when your side won the popular vote which is the only thing that the Russians could hope to effect.

Trump needs to be as credible as possible....the left of course is pouncing on every weakness - real or fake.

The media are setting up Comey to help them in their attacks on Trump.

Not true. Comey is a willing co-conspirator with the media, congressional Dems and even some Reps. Comey is a snake who clearly is in the Dems' corner.

As for the Republicans, there was ZERO reason to hold this hearing today except to embarrass and slap President Trump down. I am beyond disgusted with the entire political-media establishment. They are killing this country. Just killing it. And the one man who stands in their way is being hamstrung by the same old establishment games. They are more interested in feathering their own nests than in serving the best interests of this country.

The only person that got ‘gut punched’ was Comey...

When you know he worked and is working for the Clintons, then everything he says and does explains why he is against America and her people...

It is the worldwide socialist movement that wants Trumps movement gone, at any and all means.

This movement includes Democrats and Republicans, republicans like McCain, Bush, Linsey Graham.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Well and truly said. It is perfectly obvious that the NWO globalists here and around the world have been badly shaken by the Trump phenomena, and by the populism and nationalism that he has triggered. The common man has suddenly awakened to the fact that he was being herded along the road to serfdom by the world’s power brokers and he’s not happy about it. Of course the successfully indoctrinated leftists have already become serfs, and they’re apparently quite comfortable in that subservient role.

That will be political suicide...

I hate to say it but it’s probably true, He missed his chance to fire this creep. Unless Trump is holding a BIG card to play this weight will be around his neck permanently. I think a special prosecutor is almost inevitable now. We had a bad day today Comey is a vindictive little bitch and set Trump up and it hurt. And by the way unless Sessions does so the leakers won’t be exposed let alone prosecuted.

I just keep asking how Russia helped Trump but no one will explain it to me.

It's a meme that the Dems cooked up way back starting on July 31, 2015 when Trump the declared candidate was first asked what he thought of Putin. Trump answered forthrightly enough as follows: "I think I'd get along very well with Vladimir Putin. I just think so." (See CNN timeline reaching back to 2007).

Trump had no way of knowing the Left was using his early innocent remarks to set up a completely false claim that he conspired with the Russians to affect the 2016 election. The false claim has now taken on a life of its own thanks to help from the media that has kept pounding on the story. Thanks to stupid Republicans who held this hearing today to give Comey all the cover he needed to openly say there is an investigation. Thanks to the Left, which never, ever accepts defeat or gives up.

I’ve had similar conversations with them over global warming, usually ending with: `E-mail me the facts you base your position on when you get home, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence,’ etc.

Brief pause, uncomfortable silence, then they default to ad hominem. They know they’re full of beans and completely agenda driven, like certain Maryland and H’a’w’a’i’i judges.

My latest response to the invective is: “Let’s face it. You’re still butt hurt over the election. Get over it.” That pretty much lets the air out of them.

Sessions is going to do a thing. He recused himself from all that has to do with the Russia thing, and that includes the leakers. Sessions is just a figure head.

No, fire Comey in the summer while the Cong is in recess and replace him. Months later, send the new FBI director for senate confirmation.

Hannity and Jay Sekulow also said Comey needs to go after his performance today.

-——I think a special prosecutor is almost inevitable now-——

I don’t think so....

So far there is zero evidence to ask for a special prosecutor....

Everything the dems tossed out there today has zero credibility without actual evidence...

Let them play kabuki theater as Trump moves his agenda forward...

Very strong rodent resemblance. I assume weasels are rodents.

No evidence his phone was “wire tapped”. They don’t do wire taps any more, they use more modern surveillance methods.

Trump was able to beat them all and become President because he had all of us behind him. Every time they thought they had him, he would have another giant rally and he would win.

He is struggling now because we are his power and we have been sidelined by the media. The story is always Trump, isolated. Never Trump and the Americans.

If we don’t absolutely demand every stinking Republican in Washington get on board right freakin now or get replaced we will get nothing we voted for.

We better start holding feat to fire, name names, and we best do it now!

I assume you meant to write that Sessions is NOT going to do a thing?

He’s not a figurehead! My God, are you nuts? You think Trump would appoint a do nothing figurehead? He recused himself about any investigations connected with the campaign and Hitlery, that’s it. PLUS he said his assistant AG could handle anything he recused himself from.

He’s not a figurehead, I can’t imagine what makes you think that.
