James Comey had a rather funny defense for all the shenanigans going under his nose while he was FBI Director: he was completely incompetent. As you can see in the clip in the video above and at greater length at the video link below, Comey went full incompetent fool at the Senate Judiciary hearing. It had to be incredibly humiliating but it sure beat the alternative of testifying that he knew what was going on all around him and end up indicted.
PING!
If he’s that incompetent he should go into the moderator business...
Everyone saw this coming. Comey is a slime ball to the nth degree. He’s not saying a thing and setting up a defense that everything he did, someone else did and he didn’t know a thing about it. He will not implicate himself in anything. No one would. And he’s muddying up the water even more. But it’s good to get him on record under oath.
U.S. CODE
TITLE 2—THE CONGRESS
CHAPTER 6—CONGRESSIONAL AND COMMITTEE PROCEDURE; INVESTIGATIONS
Sec. 193. Privilege of witnesses
No witness is privileged to refuse to testify to any fact, or to produce any paper, respecting which he shall be examined by either House of Congress, or by any joint committee established by a joint or concurrent resolution of the two Houses of Congress, or by any committee of either House, upon the ground that his testimony to such fact or his production of such paper may tend to disgrace him or otherwise render him infamous.”
Simply look up Hinds Precedents, especially chapters 53 and 51, and Cannon’s Precedents, especially chapters 184-185. You’ll find numerous detailed cases of Congress asserting its power, arresting people, holding them until they agreed to answer questions, and then releasing them. Some of these people did not refuse to appear, but simply failed to satisfactorily answer questions.
Comey is a weasel!
Comey is a weasel!
Comey is a weasel!
It worked for Hillary.
btt
Commie don’t know nuthin bout nuthin!!
Comey wasn’t humiliated at all. He’s laughing all the way to the bank. Mission accomplished.
Senator Pussbag: Mr. Comey, before we begin, would you be willing to take a polygraph before you testify?
Comey:I don’t think that would be appropriate and it wouldn’t be admissible in court.
Senator Pussbag: I think it would be appropriate, because I believe that you’re the type of person who would push a child in front of a train to save your own ass.
And I don’t think you would know the truth if it corn holed you with a chainsaw.
