Dems are actually online saying Trump expecting “loyalty” is an impeachable offense.
These folks are nut.
Approved by bob mueller?
Here it goes testify to the MSM without testifying...I am sick of them both.
I just read most of it — nothing there.
No surprise.
The Left thinks not waving to reporters when Trump boards AF1 is an impeachable offense.
The most glaring questions I have are:
1. Comey documented every meeting with Trump, but never his two meetings with Obama. Why was that?
2. Over and over Comey makes a point about the arms length between the DOJ/FBI and the President that must be maintained. How come he never saw how the DOJ was used by Obama as a political force the whole time he was FBI Director under Obama. Never a peep from Mr. Clean then.
Comey will tread a line tomorrow—damning Trump while leaving no fingerprints of his own on the attempt to overthrow the duly elected President.
Funny how Mr. Pure-as-the-Driven-Snow was not worried when he overstepped his bounds to declare Hillary innocent due ta lack of intent, nor did he criticize his AG, Lynch of meeting on the tarmac with the husband of someone under investigation. No, we are not supposed to notice that.
Plus we are hearing one side of the story, from someone who already is under suspicion of being in danger of perjury, that is Comey.
This reads like a romance novel. Comey is a drama queen.
Nutjob!
Why didn’t he tell us the name of his upcoming book?
I felt compelled to document my first conversation with the President-Elect in a memo. To ensure accuracy, I began to type it on a laptop in an FBI vehicle outside Trump Tower the moment I walked out of the meeting. Creating written records immediately after one-on-one conversations with Mr. Trump was my practice from that point forward. This had not been my practice in the past. I spoke alone with President Obama twice in person (and never on the phone) – once in 2015 to discuss law enforcement policy issues and a second time, briefly, for him to say goodbye in late 2016. In neither of those circumstances did I memorialize the discussions.
HOW DARE the chief executive think he runs the executive branch and all the minor bureaus within it?
The FBI is not a national internal affairs charged with investigating the presidency. They have no special status that they are beyond the presidents span of control. They are not a constitutional check and balance on the president. The constitution lays it SOLELY at the feet of the Congress that they may investigate or impeach him. They also appropriate all his money.
The FBI is a minor, much later invented, night watchman.
The DOJ and the FBI answer to the president. If there is an arms length of distance between them, then what authority fills that gap?
The answer of course is The Deep State Establishment.
“Over and over Comey makes a point about the arms length between the DOJ/FBI and the President that must be maintained.”
The FIB, oops I mean the FBI is not independent of the President. Neither is the DOJ. And Comey, the former lawyer and head of the drug money bank HSBC knows that.
The damned traitor to America.
He so obviously had a disdain for Trump. THAT’S why everything seemed so “awkward” to him!!
To really drain the swamp, Trump needs to contradict what Comey said over-and-over again about there being a separation between the FBI/DOJ and Trump.

“I felt compelled to document my first conversation with the President-Elect in a memo. To ensure accuracy, I began to type it on a laptop in an FBI vehicle outside Trump Tower the moment I walked out of the meeting”
The FBI refuses to record conversations. They would jam it up the azz of any local police department that refused to record interviews but merely had the officer write down his memory of the event afterwards. THAT is FBI procedure. It was purpose designed by the homo J Edgar Hoover to give the FBI room for corruption and to tell the story THEIR way.
I wonder if there’s a way to determine if Comey’s memos to self were indeed contemporaneous and not embellished after the fact.
There will be a lot of noise after tomorrow’s hearing. Gotta wonder if Trump recorded the conversations with Comey.
You can bet that POTUS has a tape of every Comey meeting.
This statement totally exonerates President Trump. It tells 3 occasions where Comey told Trump he was not a target of investigation.
It also says Trump did not try to obstruct the investigation.
Winning!
