James Comey lays out the case that President Trump obstructed justice (Compost Barf Alert)
Compost ^ | 06/08/2017 | By Matt Zapotosky

Former FBI director James B. Comey on Thursday essentially laid out an obstruction of justice case against President Trump and suggested senior leaders in the bureau might have actually contemplated the matter before Trump removed him as director.

Comey did not explicitly draw any legal conclusions. Whether justice was obstructed, he said, was a question for recently appointed special counsel Robert Mueller. But he said Trump’s request to terminate the FBI’s investigation into former national security adviser Michael Flynn left him “stunned,” and senior FBI officials considered it to be of “investigative interest.”

Everyone in the world not currently on mind damaging drugs understood 'James Comey lays out the case that LORETTA LYNCH obstructed justice'. Not Trump.

But Fake News has to lie and distort the truth as usual.

Actually he laid out the case that attorney general Lynch obstructed Justice. And the current special counsel is strictly the result of his desire for vengeance via leaks.

As predicted, this was never about Russia but picking at Trump’s mistakes or perceived misdeeds. It is what phony traitor prosefutions thrive on, the corruption of not going after an actual enemy influence that probably is pulling the strings on the prosecution itself!

They must have been watching a different testimony than I did. Must have been on bazaaro network. Alternate universe network.

I am dang sure I heard him say he gave the memo to a professor.

By meeting alone with Comey, Trump knew he could weed out a leaker. He did.

Too bad the FCC cannot pull the broadcast licenses for CNN and PMSNBC and all the others for the daily propaganda they spew. They are beyond free speech.

Based on media analysis, it now appears there’s evidence that President Trump may have coulda possibly maybe obstructed justice in an investigation against him that wasn’t going on. We now know President Trump’s true crime was obstructing Queen Hillary. For that he must be impeached now!

If any of this was actually about Russia, Comey would have had to comb the DNC computer hard drives, as Podesta and Hillary screamed it was the Russians who hacked the DNC. But Comey’s FBI investigating Democrats is verboten.

The only ones trying to hack the election are the NYTimes, CNN, and the Washington Post.

What is there to obstruct or what motive would you have to obstruct when you aren’t under investigation and the underlying crime never occurred?

>> do you have any doubt that the Russian government was behind the intrusions in the DNC and DCCC systems and the subsequent leaks of that information? 00:19:57

Richard burr

>> no, no doubt. 00:19:58

James B. Comey Jr.

How can Comey make that statement when the FBI NEVER had possession of the DNC servers?

I just now turned on cable news. Was it my imagination or did Andrew Napolitano think today was a bad day for Trump after Comey’s testimony?
