Democrats blast FBI director after probe revelation
Associated Press ^ | Mar 20, 2017 5:32 PM EDT | Jonathan Lemire and Sadie Gurman

FBI Director James Comey’s testimony Monday that the bureau has been quietly investigating possible links between associates of President Donald Trump and Russian officials since the summer enraged Democrats who already blame him for rattling the 2016 campaign’s closing days.

For the first time, Comey confirmed that the FBI had opened a probe into the Trump campaign in July, the same month he called an unusual news conference to announce the agency had finished its investigation into whether Hillary Clinton mishandled classified information — and three months before he scrambled the White House race a second time by announcing that the Clinton probe was continuing just days before the election.

The revelation drew the ire of Clinton supporters who called out an apparent double standard and a breach of bureau norms that caused their nominee’s surprising defeat. …

“...a vending machine route in NYC constantly trying to be taken by the mafia.”

REALLY?

Vending machines vending — what??
Cigarette machines have been history for years.

Either vending machines are WAAAY more profitable than I thought, or the Mafia have been reduced to scraping the bottom of the barrel.

Dave W is useless to “us”? Who is this “us”?

We don’t all live on the east coast dealing with mafia, you know. There are other places, other kinds of people and so forth and so on.

It is sickening. Truth is nowhere to be seen or even heard of.

It’s all shadows, and nuance, and legalisms, and tripwires.

They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

— Romans 3:12, referencing Psalm 14:5

For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not.

— Ecclesiastes 7:20

If they sin against thee (for there is no man that sinneth not) …

— 1 Kings 8:46
Not comic-book level, but Biblical, hence reality.

Not all vending machines are cigarette machines, by far. And most of the cigarette ones, even in bars, are no more.

Yes it is....

I recall a High ranking Police officer explaining to me how in the court hearings it’s how they’re questioned on the stand and what they will or not reveal is at play. The right question, if not worded carefully will not be answered accordingly..the prosecutors and the defense both know officers are ‘trained’ on this in how they will or not respond.

It is the same idea in these Gov. held committee investigations. It’s in part a show to see who gets the upper hand in order to escape/conceal the truth and or reveal it.

Vending machines are one way that organized crime has been known to use to get a foothold in a business -especially small businesses. Then they just press their way forward, create havoc, and subvert the small business for all kinds of nefarious activities.

I did not know that still went on, but it was kind of widespread knowledge among small business owners in the 60’s and 70’s.

I believe I can say with good authority from a life time of experience that the the plural of “pain in the ass” is ‘hemorrhoids’.

I often call them demorrhoids. :D

So Trump WAS being spied on. And yes, since he is a Republican they will deny, deny, deny.

The whole point of Comey testifying was for the corderination statement on Russia. The left knew it was coming and had the Trump was caluding with Russia lie ready to go. That’s the only thing that happened today.

AP says "Clinton's surprising defeat"

AP attacked Trump twenty four seven for months prior to the election and constantly claimed Clinton would rout him.

All of their "reporting" was as fake as a three dollar bill.

The only "surprising" thing is that the AP execs haven't jumped off of tall buildings or bridges as part of a public apology for their incompetence and grotesque bias.

(or at least moved to Canada... :-) )

Of course their blood-sucking mentor David Rockefeller just died--so maybe they will still do it.

Oh, no slanted writing there. Yet, these journos still laughably wonder why the public views them on the same level of favorability as bedbugs and child molesters.

"Comey mentioned many times today the Ruskies hated Hillary Clinton"

I’d say it would be timely to impeach Comey. He has become an unconstitutional king maker. Talk about over reach.

Comey has to go, whether one is a democrat or a republican does not much matter in the issue. Comey who could not keep his mouth shut or prevent leaks,makes J. Edgar Hoover a piker.

“The revelation drew the ire of Clinton supporters who called out an apparent double standard and a breach of bureau norms that caused their nominee’s surprising defeat.”

Only thing that caused Hillary’s defeat was Hillary. The only ones who were surprised Hillary lost were the Dems and the LSM. The only reason Dems were surprised that she was defeated was because they live in Cloud-cuckoo-land, which the LSM built for them, and the bubble finally burst. It was open borders and trade that brought her down, and they might as well face reality sooner rather than later. Her history of corruption and treachery was just the cherry on top of the crap sundae that was the Hillary campaign.

I heard him say that the Russians hated Hillary.

The immediate response to that comment should have been, "Please provide documented proof of your statement, including any statements by any Russian personnel in positions of authority, exact quotes, dates, and context. You have 48 hours."

I’m starting to think he’s some kind of really twisted psychopath.

There IS something not quite right aout him. Pres. Trump should ask for his resignation....immediately!

WASHINGTON - Federal investigators are examining whether far-left [ie. ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC, ESPN, NYT, WaPo, LAT, etc.] news sites played any role last year in a Russian cyber operation that dramatically widened the reach of news stories — some fictional — that favored Donald Trump’s presidential bid, two people familiar with the inquiry say.

Could happen....
