ABC: Comey Will Not Say Trump Tried to Obstruct Justice in Flynn Probe
http://www.newsmax.com ^ | 06/06/2017 | Wanda Carruthers

Former FBI Director James Comey will be forthcoming when he testifies before the Senate Intelligence Committee on Thursday morning, but he will stop short of saying President Donald Trump tried to interfere in the agency's investigation into former national security adviser Michael Flynn, according to an ABC News exclusive.

Citing "a source familiar with Comey's thinking," the network reported there would be information that would make Trump feel "uncomfortable," but the former FBI director would not go so far as to say the president obstructed justice by asking him to drop the agency's probe.

Comey will also counter Trump's contention he told him three times he was not under investigation in the FBI's examination of claims Russia meddled in the U.S. 2016 presidential election and possible collusion with the Trump campaign.

"He is not going to Congress to make accusations about the President's intent, instead he's there to share his concerns," the source said.

RACHEL MADDOW HAS TRUMP’S TAX RETURNS!!!!

oh wait...

You have to like their wording on this, they almost imply it’s true and he “should” say it but he’s probably scared or something.

I’ve just been reading comments on HuffPo (I know!) about the Reality Winner traitor. It’s astonishing what these people have allowed themselves to believe, the propaganda by the media.

Trump comments:
- He’s lazy
- Just enriching himself
- Has broken every law possible
- Puts the country last, always himself first
- Election machines were hacked
- will be found guilty in the “Trump Russia” investigation (lol - there is no such thing! Just a “Russia” one)
- He stole the election
- on and on...

It’s amazing, from the same people that love BO. They have no idea how brainwashed they are - the comments fit exactly for BO. Up is down.

How come ABC is warning people to not expect much out of Comey?

Guess someone knows there’s nothing there and is trying to cushion the blow.

Comey has given or allowed to Trump way too much to chance making up anything harmful. That said, anything at all that he says will be trumpeted by the Democrats/MSM as being the Smoking Gun for which Trump should be impeached.

The goal of the Democrats, and some Republicans, is to portray Trump as incompetent. Comey is not there to accuse him, but to denigrate him.

That is because Republicans are spineless, they have their own agenda..they hate being in power because they actually have to DO SOMETHING to better the country, instead of sitting on their hands and waiting for someone else to do it for them..instead they run to the Commie media to get some kisses from them and pats on the head

Clearly Comey should be able to specifically tell us who the leaker is that is familiar with his thinking.

If he did say so it would be a lie, so he won’t say so.
