CBS’s Schieffer Sees ‘Parallels’ of Comey Firing to the JFK Assassination
breitbart ^ | JEFF POOR

Posted on 05/14/2017 5:33:48 AM PDT by davikkm

Friday on “CBS This Morning,” long-time CBS News personality Bob Schieffer reacted President Donald Trump’s decision to fire FBI Director James Comey earlier this week.

While many have made comparisons to Trump’s handling of Comey to Watergate, Schieffer said he saw “parallels” to the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

“You know, there are many parallels Watergate,” Schieffer explained. “But I have to tell you, I think all the way back to the Kennedy assassination, to draw parallels. I was there, as you know. I have always felt that if Lee Harvey Oswald had been put on trial, a lot of these conspiracy theories that are still circulating today would have been put at rest then. It is absolutely imperative that Donald Trump finds a way to reassure the American people that these questions about Russia are not true if that is his version. He’s got to lay it all out and find ways not just to tweet out every morning the news is being made up by the news media.”

BLITHERING is a strong enough word.

Mr. Schieffer needs to be escorted, very carefully, from CBS headquarters. Preferably to a rubber truck!

“Ya think the accusers might have to show some proof, instead? “

Why no, it’s ALWAYS the seriousness of the charge, not the nature of the evidence in libtard land.

The press is trying to assassinate Trump. They are treasonous and they are trying to get one of their socialist rabble to attack Trump.

I want only one thing: To outlive Schieffer (and especially McCain) so I can celebrate their deaths.

To put this Russia business to rest, all anyone has to do is to do a search on when the Left first brought up that the “Russians” were responsible for Podesta’s stupidity with his emails.

It was LONG before any “intelligence agencies” said Russians were responsible, itself a suspect conclusion.

This blame the Russians bit was an excuse thought up long ago by the Democrat Party.

In a nation of media insanity, as someone who remembers the JFK assassination well, that is the most irreverent and insane thing I have ever hear ANYONE say. Those words are groundbreaking insulting to our nation and that man should be fired.

Journalism died in the 2016 election.

“”It is absolutely imperative that Donald Trump finds a way to reassure the American people that these questions about Russia are not true if that is his version.””

And just how in the devil does Schiffer suggest he go about doing that? He could sit on a stack of Bibles, swear with his hand on one stack - heck - two Bibles and two hands swearing the rumors are not true and even Schiffer wouldn’t believe him...

Journalism fell on to life support beginning in 2008.

It truly died in 2008 when it threw off the mask for good and said 'we must do everything we can to assure a Clinton victory'.

The fact that they still failed is why they will never forgive Trump. And, of course, Trump was just the vehicle. It was the electorate that was fed up.

Well yeah - both Trump and JFK had two eyes and wore pants - it’s an obvious parallel......

The Leftist murder of DNC staffer Seth Rich is more like the Kennedy Assassination.

Rich, a Bernie Sanders supporter,likely sent Wikileaks all of the necessary passwords to hack into the DNC servers.He paid with his life.

The Russians had NOTHING to do with Wikleaks data.Trump should tweet it.
