COLLINS: I'd like to now turn to the conversations with the president about Michael Flynn, which have been discussed at great length. And, first, let me make very clear that the president never should have cleared the room, and he never should have asked you, as you reported, to let it go -- to let the investigation go.Collins lengthy lead in is OBVIOUSLY about Comey communicating the troubling Flynn conversation to anybody beside his (Comey's) own inner circle, but Comey answers a different question. That was deliberate. Comey's testimony is similar to that of somebody who has things to hide, and an agenda.But I remain puzzled by your response. Your response was, "I agree that Michael Flynn is a good guy." You could have said, "Mr. President, this meeting is inappropriate. This response could compromise the investigation. You should not be making such a request."
It's fundamental to the operation of our government that the FBI be insulated from this kind of political pressure. And you've talked a bit today about that you were stunned by the president making the request.
But my question to you is, later on, upon reflection, did you go to anyone at the Department of Justice and ask them to call the White House counsel's office and explain that the president had to have a far better understanding and appreciation of his role vis-a-vis the FBI?
COMEY: In general, I did. ...
COLLINS: Your testimony was that you went to Attorney General Sessions and said, "Don't ever leave me alone with him again." Are you saying that you also told him that he had made a request that you let it go, with regard to part of the investigation of Michael Flynn?
COMEY: No, I specifically did not.
Rubio touched on this a bit. In every case in which Comey is now claiming Trump said something wrong, Comey acknowledges that he agreed with Trump. He’s afraid to lie in his written statement because Trump said there might be tapes. Comey also lied about wishing there are tapes.
Comey admitted what his agenda was,to help the democrats get a special prosecutor who would be free to tie up the Trump administration in endless investigations and fed the democrat narrative “the most corrupt administration since Nixon!â€All the while Comey would be on the inside as head of the F.B.I. directing the leaks to the media leading the narrative in the press to direct the special prosecutor in the direction that the democrats wanted the investigation to go. Comey’s mission last summer was to exonerate Hillary’s email scandal and put it to bed so she could win and he botched the job so to redeem himself he was going to be the guy who helped bring down Trump from the inside.He’s been nothing but a scheming democrat operative from the being so Trump was right to fire him!

Collins didn’t ask him a question about Flynn - he answered the question she asked him about telling AG Sessions about the president’s statement(s)...
