James Comey thinks, but did not say, that President Trump is going to be toast once the special counsel is done with him — and all because of three little words Trump might have sung in the manner of Elsa the Ice Queen: “Let this go.”
Comey clearly intimated that Trump’s conduct toward him was an effort to obstruct justice when it came to the investigation of former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn — and that special counsel Robert Mueller would be just the guy to get to the bottom of what is clearly an impeachable offense.
That was the key revelation of the former FBI director’s gripping Senate hearing Thursday. Comey said the president’s behavior at a February White House meeting — during which Trump cleared the room so he and Comey could have a private tete-a-tete about Flynn — had “stunned” him.
That was when, according to the document he released Wednesday, Trump said to him, “I hope you can see your way clear to letting this go, to letting Flynn go.”
Comey said he believed this was intended as “direction” and he found it “a very disturbing thing, very concerning” the president would say such a thing.
Republican Sen. Jim Risch sought to limit the damage from Comey’s words by pointing out that hoping for something would not be grounds for charging someone with a crime. Comey replied: “This is a president of the United States with me alone saying ‘I hope this.’ I took it as, this is what he wants me to do.”

Laughable article. Real funny for Comey: Hillary doing something did not evidence intent and President Trump’s hope was POTUS’s intent to obstruct justice.
Bingo! I think he knew about the vast unmasking of Obama’s political opponents. But there’s lots of other scanadals he could be running from too.
John Pudtzwhoreish ALERT!
If wishes were horses...beggars would ride.
1 - The investigations are witch hunts based on lies and haven't managed to turn up anything on Trump.
2 - Comey tried to hint at trump doing wrong but couldn't actually state it because he knows it isn't true - being a lawyer type, he knows that trying to instill a level of doubt can be useful.
3 - Every time Comey breaks the law, it's because he has the 'integrity" of others in mind and is doing it as a patriotic act - since when is the head of the freaking FBI in a class of "whistleblowers who get a pass for fake blowing"?
Comey is a snowflake who considers himself a victim and sounded so similar to Hillary that it's a wonder anyone in the FBI followed him.
4 - He thinks he's way more clever than he is and his admitting to leaking to the LSM is a sure sign he's unfit and unbelievable as he had to admit a crime to "prove he is honest".
He thinks that admitting to the leaking crime establishes his "honesty".....not so cleaver as he thinks he is.
John Podhoretz—Isn’t he the paedophile that worked on Hilliary’s campaign?
Stupid liberal (yes liberal) person Podwhorewitz please go away. You are embarrassing yourself and All of NeverTrumpkind.
That was John Podesta.
The Obama Administration was basically the Muslim Brotherhood Administration.
And the left thinks that the threat comes from Christians because that’s where they’ve been focused since a long time and they’re not gonna change just because of reality.
The only ‘key revelation’ is affirmation that Comey is a leftist dirty f’n cop. End of story.
He was unnecessarily rude,and belligerent. After my initial shock wore off,I let him have it. He has only gone down hill since. The man should get mental health evaluation asap.
Didn't they learn about beehives when they were kids? :)
