Former FBI Director James Comey now believes that President Donald Trump was trying to influence his judgment about the Russia probe, a person familiar with his thinking says, but whether that influence amounts to obstruction of justice remains an open question.

If they were ever able to convince the House to vote impeachment they would still need 2/3 of the senate to get him out of office. Not likely by any means.

First of all if there is no recording of the discussion then it his word against President Trump. Secondly if he believed that POTUS was attempting to stop the investigation then Comey has exposed himself to a felony for having failed to inform his superiors,

At this point, I’m thinking they make just about every story up and claim Anonymous sources.

True story (I've told it on here before): When I was an undergraduate at the University of Hawaii, I was majoring in Journalism (this was pre-Carter era). One of my professors told a story about him and another reporter (working on a D.C. paper) getting a great story from an anonymous source - but their editor insisted they would not run a story from one, unverified, anonymous source. They tried, but couldn't find another source. So reporter A turned to reporter B and interviewed him. The newsroom was less than a mile from the White House. They then quoted a second source "close to the White House" and the editor let it run.

That is what I think of anytime they quote one anonymous source. Maybe the head editor at CNN took the same Journalism class.

By the way, after graduating I went into the Army. Then when I got out of the Army, I became a CPA. I gave up being a journalist.

Your premise is flawed. You’ve bought into the narrative.

Minds can change. People get fired, become disgruntled, spiteful. Happens all the time.

WTH? Newbie? This isn’t really a pro-coup website. There are infiltrators from time to time but it’s a short time.

Take your Leftist media meme elsewhere. Try DU online, or write letters to the NYTimes. That proves constructive among the Soros crowd. FR “ain’t” it.


Spot on, Rita!

BB, you seem to have issues with POTUS Trump....perhaps there are better forums for you to spew your disdain for him.

Sure after he gets fired he decides Trump was doing illegal things. Comey is the true criminal here.

You may be forgetting the effect of the often present opinions of the judge. There’s a difference between the ideal court and the ones we actually have.

WILL EVERYONE STOP PICKING ON COMEY OVER THIS ARTICLE? ALL CNN HAS OFFERED IS A PERSON SAYS. SOMEONE WHO IS NOT COMEY, AND PROBABLY DOESN'T EVEN EXIST.

I'm no fan of Comey either, but let's not let the left con us into believing everything they report either. Until CNN can offer something other than someone says, I'm not buying any of it.

You seem to be wishing that Pres. Trump stop doing all the things that have caused him to win so bigly. And I don’t just mean the election.

Really really bad disgruntled ex employee demonstrates the reason why he actually should’ve been fired even sooner!

It wasn’t a DJT tweet that has the 6’8” bag of nuts all stirred up, it’s hatred for Trump (and us) and love for the Swamp. So keep tweeting Donald, it won you the nomination & election and holds your base together in the face of #FakeNews.
