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

Posted on 06/08/2017 11:53:51 AM PDT by Responsibility2nd

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.”

The Washington Elites collectively soiled their diapers when they lost Comey as a shield against any of the good people ever being prosecuted.

I don’t know about any of that, but if I were in the White House I certainly would be pulling some press passes today...

FAKE NEWS for six months over Russia, Russia, Russia and FAKE NEWS over the elections and campaigns...

Truth ALWAYS wins out in the end...if you tell one lie, you have to remember it or you will be telling another lie to cover up the one you did before and so on and so forth...

In my view James Comey laid out the case that he is a DC Swamp denizen, a crook and a sissy who had no business ever being anywhere near the FBI.

The corruption of the Uniparty has brought our nation to the brink of disaster. Trump has a mandate to drain the swamp. All efforts to deter him in that work is exclusively motivated by corruption.

This is not journalism. It is vile propaganda. WAPO has shamed journalism again.

Wasn’t Michael Flynn cleared by the FBI on January 24th?

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

Maybe it’s time to make Fake News Reporting a hanging offense with a 48 appeal window. Publish fake news, get a verdict of guilty, the gallows awaits unless valid evidence of not knowing it was fake is presented within the 48 hour window.

Wanna bet this trash will stop then!!?

It’s no surprise that the Washington Post hires easily malleable reporters (such as Matt Zapotosky), who routinely demonstrate their mastery of all of the knowledge, insight, critical thinking skills, and sophistication of a typical kindergarten student.

It’s obvious from his wilfully-wrong and utterly biased reporting that for Matt Zapotosky, every day is “backwards day” in his kindergarten class.

If that was his evidence against Trump, how in the world did the FBI investigate and get any successful convictions for the last 10 years?

Hadn’t thought of that. And so as the facts were in complete opposition of the idiot article - WHO CARES, right?

Comey made it clear that Loretta Lynch DID.

The Compost acting as the DNC’s transmission, shifting the attack narrative gear from “collaboration” to “obstruction”.

All to prove, as we here know, that there will NEVER ever be an end. Democrats will never ever reach across the aisle and work for the greater good. And sadly, most Republicans are all too eager to enable their Democrat political abusers.

I hate to say this, but all this shark jumping by the WaPo and others is just becoming comical to me.

If the Dems had actual power now, it would be frightening.

This WaPo story exposes the incredible and unmitigated crap the left in the press used to get away with.

It is not the right that has destroyed them. It is the internet and the free release of information and ideas. If the msm was all there was, this would be interpreted as truth - and Dan Rather would still have a job.
