Well one way or the other, if true, this is proof he lies.

“He TESTIFED UNDER OATH that this wasn’t so.....hmmmm.”

I just listened to a discussion on Fox about that memo and if it amounted to obstruction by Trump. They somehow failed to mention that little sworn testimony. Just didn’t have the time, I suppose. And, it would have made their five minute discussion useless, and they have to fill up time.

Depends what Comey says to congress. It is my opinion that Comey intended touse these “memos” as tools of extortion. Even i9f Comey says that it feels like undue influence it is still a he said said, he said thing. Trump says no.Comey would have to prove else wise. Who the “memo” to the MSM? Was Comey a party? If so. He disclosed a government document without government authorization.

Your "Fact #2" is absolute horsecrap.

President Trump is the only one willing to fight these clowns. They're not going to accomplish jack sh!t.

The Democrats and Establishment Media (but I repeat myself) are a laughingstock in the eyes of most of the American People.

They've cried wolf too many times—just like they're crying wolf right now.

Look at how the rest of the GOP lays down for the Democrats and acts like a bunch of cowards.

You're giving the Fake News Media narrative far more credence than it merits.

They're operating in a fake reality and the vast majority of Americans know precisely where things really stand.

I hope the Democrats and GOPe Swamp-dwellers are enjoying themselves, because they are going to get ground into Swamp Dust when all is said and done...

Fact #2: Trump is making it easy for them.

A lot of these Media people make thousands of dollars an hour [Katie Couric, George Stephanopoulus: $7500 an hour each].

They don't get paid that kind of money for their pretty faces.

They are the Ultimate Ad Campaign - convince their viewers that THEY are The Truth.

As they appear to haved convinced you that President Trump "is making it easy for them".

You might want to think ahead to the next election - and why exactly you're going into the voting booth to cast a ballot.

If the Media doesn't like your candidate, and he or she wins the election, they'll just be removed from office BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY.

So - are you REALLY voting? 😀

The Republicans in this fiasco had better make the point over and over that it does not matter whether Comey thought Trump was trying to influence him.

Did Trump is the question and it must be substantiated with real evidence.

“Believes”, “Trying”, and “Influence” are soft words.

“Order” would have been a hard word.

It sure would be nice if the pathetic GOP would man-up and go after these Fake News artists and defend our president. Trump has no wingmen.

He says he NOW THINKS Trump was trying to influence him. NOW must me after he got paid off or threatened or promised the moon. This guy is a piece of crap..... He now thinks. He didn’t think so when he testified under oath that no one had tried to influence the an investigation.

Again we have the infamous unidentified source in all of CNN's fake news bs.

Washington (CNN)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.

"You have to have intent in order to obstruct justice in the criminal sense," the source said, adding that "intent is hard to prove."

When this latest Comey stuff came out, I admit I was a bit worred, but now, this has become a complete joke. Comey is coming across as a sad, pathetic, human being.
