PERJURY: Comey Lies That Pres. Trump Tweet Prompted Leak
One America News Network ^ | OAN Newsroom

Posted on 06/08/2017 4:13:54 PM PDT by sdthree

During the hearing, Senator Susan Collins asked Comey if he had shown copies of his memos to “anyone outside” of the Justice Department.

Comey replied, “yes,” saying he made the decision to do so after President Trump tweeted about possible audio recordings the day after he was fired.

However, that information seems to be inaccurate, because the memo was leaked to the New York Times May 11th and President Trump tweeted on the 12th.

Comey said he hoped to benefit from that leak.

The contents of the memos are not germane to the question of whether Comey made a false statement of a material fact under oath. He claimed he made the memos available because of an event that did not happen until after he had already made the leak.

Well it’s not about McCain or Feinstein or any of the deep state folks being ok all of a sudden......

Trumps got all Comeys information from his office computer and then some....none of these ba*tards know what he’s got about them , nor if or not he’s going to play those cards or when. So some of them are going to ‘bend’ .....we’ll see how things go before they have to bend so far they break!

On May 3rd Sen. Grassley asked Comey, who was under oath at the time,”Have you ever been the source of anonymous leaks to the Press?”, Comey answered “Never”. PERJURY

OAN’s reporting is correct: Comey made a false statement of a material fact, which has nothing to do with either who the memo was leaked to, nor what the contents of it were.

How about 18 U.S. Code Chapter 115?

The more I think about it, the more I think we should have been taking this route thirty minutes after Trump was sworn.

“Comedy is already yesterday.
Watch him magically disappear, never to be seen or heard from again”

The Truth is the polar opposite. Comey will become a leftist legend and be on every show attacking Trump. I predict within six months a made for TV movie about his heroic exploits will splash across a Network channel, hell maybe even a Hollywood movie..

You are mistaken.

McCain's questions were pertinent, and illustrated a double standard between Comey's handling of Hillary's emails and Trump's conversations. There was nothing confused, either about his question or about the point he was trying to make.

No. The May 11 Times story was based on conversations with Comey associates, not the memos.

He did know he was breaking the law. he admitted to a crime today of leaking documents of which one was classified. Add on another 6 to 8 cases of Perjury and we are cooking. Problem is he won’t be charged with anything. trump has a strange sense of humor, at times!

It was material to the question asked, which was, what was your justification for leaking a government document which contained information about a privileged conversation with the President of the United States?

By claiming he made the leak in response to Trump's "tapes tweet" Comey was attempting to establish that Trump had already waived privilege by alluding to the conversation himself.

Unfortunately for Comey, that defense is clearly a lie, since he leaked the memos before Trump (possibly) waived the executive privilege in his tweet.

Yes, it does, and your own summary shows it. Comey claimed the leak on the 11th was justified by Trump’s tweet on May 12th.

This was another event that made him “queasy” or”sick to his stomach”.


This is a 6’8” supposedly manly man. His whiney testimony sounded like something a petulant fifth grade girl starting puberty would say.

He was on the verge of breaking into song:

“Feelings, nothing more than feelings.....
Teardrops rolling down on my face.......

Feelings, feelings like I’ve never lost you
And feelings like I’ve never have you again in my heart.....”

The Dems own the agenda so he will never be charged with perjury.

What SSS Two has posted actually shows OAN’s timeline is correct.
