Vladimir Putin: We will provide asylum to James Comey if he's prosecuted
Washington Examiner ^ | 6-15-17 | Caitlin Yilek

Russian President Vladimir Putin reportedly said his country is willing to offer former FBI Director James Comey political asylum if he is prosecuted in the U.S. for leaking his memos on his private conversations with President Trump.

According to a translation by RT, a Russian-controlled television network, Putin said Comey's leaks put him "in a vulnerable position." He compared the former FBI director to NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, who currently has asylum in Russia.

Comey, like Snowden, acted as an "activist," Putin said.

All Comey wants is a $10 million book deal.

LOL is right, either Fake News or the elusive but brilliant, Russian sense of humor, like the recent Russian Embassy telephone call direction tree.

By the end of President Trump's second term, most of the American DemoRat leadershipand their shill plants will be enjoying Political Asylum in Russia, immune from American courts, (as they are now), but where they WILL be subject to Russian law criminalizing defamation of Russian leaders and Culture.

The perfect solution.

Why give him up for free? Does Russia play basketball?

Could trade Comey for 2 or 3 young players, plus a player to be named later, plus cash.

HAR!

If Comey is stupid enough to take THAT deal, he’ll be connected to an IV drip of sodium pentathol until they extract every jot and tittle he EVER knew. Which, aside from any intelligence jeopardy that might put on the U.S.; in physical terms, it would actually be just about what Comey has coming to him.

This is GREAT. Now, I am sure the MSM will be reporting that Comey is in with the Russians, right? (/s)

Does Russia play basketball?

That depends on who you ask. I'm sure the 1972 US Mens basketball team would say they do but only with some help in cheating.

Vlad has a wicked sense of humor for a Russian.


Every Russian I’ve ever met (uh oh, I’m a Russian collaborator) has had a very dry wit.

Putin does better, sharper, comedy than any of the dumb-ass American comedians we are infected with.

The guy has a rapier wit.

Putin just stirring the pot. We must never lose sight of the difference between American freedoms and Russia’s communism.

Russia under Putin gives off the appearance of a more religious tolerant State, but the populace is still controlled.

Putin enjoying our ‘crisis’ while it endures - thanks to the lefties. The lefties luuuuuuuuuuuuv Putin..

Because the Democrats have been smearing him for months. I am sure he was getting his laughs with this statement, as he has done before with the “intel Trump gave Russia” nonsense:

“I think we need to come up with some sort of punishment for him (Lavrov), because he didn’t share this secret information, not with us, not with the special services. This is really not nice of him,” Putin joked, laughing with Lavrov, who was also at the conference.
