There’s rumors here in Maine that Collins is going to run for governor next year. Good God, I hope not. Most of the Republicans I talk to believe she will lose because people here are getting increasingly fed up with her.

Why vote for Dem-Lite, when there's the real thing?

Bottom Line: Boring & Nothing Burger!!! This guy Comey belongs in a nuthouse!!! He no more should have ever been the Director, of the FBI....then I should be dining on Swiss Cheese on the surface of the moon. What an incompetent leader this spoiled brat, baby whiner is!!! Glad Trump fired his useless butt!!!

The fact is that Comey and his senior leadership agreed not to inform Sessions about what went on in that meeting speaks volumes. It indicates that this was a setup.

Bears repeating.


Yes.
The overall message I take away from Comey is that he genuinely personally (and perhaps because of political biases) distrusted Trump right from the start. What I think you are inferring is correct... he wanted to get Trump on a gotcha even if he had to lead him into it.

I say again what I said yesterday. Why in the hell wouldn’t he just inform Trump that he was out of line, right off the bat?
If I was a newb to politics like Trump is and I wasn’t a lawyer and I was new to the office of the President, I would want people to be candid with me on matters like this.

Once AGAIN..it would be UNWISE not to listen to outside counsel..

and it would border on malpractice if outside counsel is telling him to post willy nilly on twitter on these matters.

Call up a Senior Partner at that law firm you worked at AND ASK THEM

‘Comey had absolutely no basis in fact for his statement that he thought Trump would lie about their meetings. Nor is there any evidence that Trump has ever lied about their meetings. This is a hit job from his mind while he carefully States facts which exonerate Trump.’

Nailed it!

The upside is that Comey is not very likeable and tends not to inspire trust. The MSM have also shot their credibility by being pathologically anti-Trump. Comey is not hurting Trump, nor will the MSM followup. Trump will come out of this with flying colors.

A key point here is that Trump saying he hoped Comey can let this go could just be Trump’s emotional response to the investigation of Flynn—just Trump’s feeling about it. That kind of statement is not necessarily a direction to Comey or the FBI. It all depends on perception.

Wah!!! He had to break a date with his wife to accept the dinner invitation. All he had to say was I’m sorry Mr. President, but I would not feel comfortable coming to dinner, nothing personal, but I’d prefer not to accept dinner at the White House from any President.

What a coward. Leaking to a friend instead of doing it himself because he and his wife were leaving town to hide.

““I didn’t tell Trump that his ‘request’ was inappropriate because we were trying to trap him” [my interpretation]”

That is exactly how I see it.

I’m waiting for MY Senatress, Camel Harrass.

Lol, took me a moment to decode that since Kamala Harris is in her first months as a senator from California.

Still no live tweet from Trump

Thank God he isn’t listening to Fantasywriter..and instead listening to outside counsel on this.

For all intents and purposes, Trump is the first Third-Party President.

Brilliant, dead-on observation, and — if properly utilized — will win for Trump in 2020.

First rate, Gator.

then Comey all of a sudden agrees that was what Trump was referring to.

I was listening earlier (an hour ago) and all of a sudden he remembered a third instance of something to go with the other two in his notes. He is delusional.

Exactly. I was reading about this this morning. They are not the least bit conservative. When in the hell did conservatives argue in favor of transgenderism and homosex ‘marriage’?

Like trying to hide in the curtains. Gutless wonder. What else did he leak to his friend at Columbia University to get out to the press?
