James Comey’s memoir: Trump fixates on proving lewd dossier allegations false
Washington Compost ^ | April 12, 2018 | Philip Rucker

Posted on 04/12/2018 7:05:26 PM PDT by EdnaMode

The nation’s intelligence chiefs had just finished briefing Donald Trump on Russia’s interference in the 2016 election when FBI Director James B. Comey stayed behind to discuss some especially sensitive material: a “widely circulated” intelligence dossier containing unconfirmed allegations that Russians had filmed Trump interacting with prostitutes in Moscow in 2013.

The president-elect quickly interrupted the FBI director. According to Comey’s account in a new memoir, Trump “strongly denied the allegations, asking — rhetorically, I assumed — whether he seemed like a guy who needed the service of prostitutes. He then began discussing cases where women had accused him of sexual assault, a subject I had not raised. He mentioned a number of women, and seemed to have memorized their allegations.”

The January 2017 conversation at Trump Tower in Manhattan “teetered toward disaster” — until “I pulled the tool from my bag: ‘We are not investigating you, sir.’ That seemed to quiet him,” Comey writes.

No offense to you EM, but I just don’t care what this liar has to say.

If you are called a liar or philanderer, or whatever, it stands until you deny it. And you keep denying it and call the accuser out.

Did Comey really write that he compared his hand size to Trump?

If he did, it is further proof that Washington is just Junior High School, the sequel.

Comey fixates on still being a Clinton fixer.

Totally bizarre. It was leaked to the world, it was the basis of investigating Trump, and he’s being criticized for wanting his wife to know there was no truth to it. This is being portrayed as unusual “fixation”? Who on earth wouldn’t be fixated with such a public accusation?

I believe it was Camille Paglia who called Comey “an effete charlatan” ... apt.

I would want to be sure my spouse knew it was false as well. No self respecting man would ever want his wife to think he had whores peeing on him! It’s getting insane

Comey suffers from Hillary-itis.

A disease where the carrier is unable to tell the truth, and everything that leaves his mouth id “nasty”.

Jimmy boy...wasn’t it your job to verify or disprove what was in the dossier? You said under oath that it was “salacious and unverified,” yet you signed 3 FISA warrant applications using it as justification for those warrants. Maybe if you’d done your job...President Trump would’t have had to do it for you.

I’ve skimmed over the highlights of Comey’s book according to some web sites.

From what I can tell, Comey’s book is about petty stuff. Nothing about “high crimes and misdemeanors”. Sounds like a lot of smoke and no fire.

reads like an 18yo wrote it, but then I remembered it was Saint Jim.

Slimy creep. Who wouldn’t “fixate” on outrageous perverse BS stories in some dossier being used against you.

Comey fixates on his self-regard with an overblown assessment of his self-importance.

If there was a bogus dossier saying that you have hookers piss on you you damn well bet I would want to find out who the hell published such total BS..but this is considered news, that President Trump wanted to figure out who published these lies

I think James will be more 'popular' with the harder woods in the joint.
