Former FBI director James Comey said Thursday that he thinks President Trump likely has committed crimes that could be cause for indictment once he leaves office and, were he not president, likely would already have been indicted.
In a CNN town-hall-style meeting, Mr. Comey was asked by host Anderson Cooper whether Mr. Trump acted with corrupt intent to interfere with an ongoing investigation.
It sure looks that way, Mr. Comey replied, saying he based that judgment on his reading of special counsel Robert Muellers report and leaning most heavily on Mr. Trumps order to White House Counsel Don McGahn to fire Mr. Mueller.
When Mr. Cooper asked the former FBI chief whether he agreed with an open letter from numerous federal prosecutors that Mr. Trump would already have been indicted on obstruction of justice charges if were not the president, Mr. Comey was emphatic.
Yes. agree. No doubt, he told Mr. Cooper.
It has been longstanding Justice Department policy that a sitting president cannot be indicted.
Attorney General William Barr has said, though, that Mr. Muellers decision not to charge Mr. Trump was not based on that policy alone.
When a president could be indicted poses an awkward question, Mr. Comey said.
He said Mr. Mueller, in writing his report, seemed to be balancing Justice Department policy with building a factual record that could be used in other circumstances, such as Congresss power to impeach a president.

This was only part of a pattern of corrupt criminal activity
by the Obama White House. Obama took the abuse of power to
new heights, actively seeking to overthrow and destroy the
incoming President. Its the biggest political scandal in
American history. Far beyond President Nixons Watergate
Scandal.
Obama: Abusing NSA surveillance systems since 2012
From 2012 to 2016 James Comey allowed three federal
contractors unfettered access to the PRISM and other NSA
surveillance systems. They entered thousands of searches
over those years, using the about query to pull up the
full range of private communications and NSA intercepts.
The targets of illegal surveillance went far beyond Donald
Trump. You can imagine that every senior Republican and
potential adversary of Obama had their names entered in the
about query. They used FISA Court raw data under section
702 authority to access and utilize the NSA databases.
Was Mitt Romney a target? Paul Ryan? Mitch McConnell? We
know for a fact, because he admitted it, that John Brennans
CIA hacked into the Senate Intelligence committee computers
for months at a time. They had no boundaries. (A
constitutional crisis: the CIA turns on the Senate)

Such outbursts are reminiscent of spaghetti westerns when they slip the noose around a condemned criminal’s neck.
Trump needs to declassify and release everything, including things which will tarnish the boy-god. But it has to be released slowly and constructively. Too much at once will guarantee the media ignores it. If it comes out in a controlled fashion, it will be easier to understand, and the administration can control the narrative..
Trump needs to take Comey seriously. The left will seek to destroy Trump, even after his death, in order to regain control and momentum. Trump needs to burn down much of what is normal DC operations.
It’s not his height that disturbing, it’s how much his parents hate him.
Better yet, interesting questions were raised in public this last week. Why was Comey claiming Obstruction of Justice, before the Mueller investigation was even initiated or Trump inaugurated ? Why are those records sealed last month. Why was the FBI conducting CI on foreign soil prior to the election? Who would that imply had to approve such an operation?
DJT: Im going to be allowing declassification pretty soon...
Im going to be doing it very soon, far more than you
would have even thought...
I will be declassifying yes, everything.

too little too late; too much talk too little action
Clinton Comey Lynch and Obama lead coup and not arrested
The best defense is a good offense, right Comey?
I’m now convinced that James will spend prison time in the future. In fact, I think that’s why the house dems are throwing everything they have at Trump. They know the jig is up and they’re about to get their day of reckoning. They’ll be polishing nozzles in prison soon along with jim.
He’s not being indicted because they don’t have anything on him.

“too little too late; too much talk too little action”
“Clinton Comey Lynch and Obama lead coup and not arrested”
I see...
So it would have been so much better, in your view, that
they had been arrested a year ago? Before any non corrupt
judges and other key players were in place? Before the truth
of things were shown at a pace that would avoid civil war?
Before their assassins and doomsday plays could be neutralized?
Or is it simply your view, that Our President has made
a deal with the cabal, for a limited hangout that will
leave them and him in control?
Nice try, but more morphing is needed, FRiend.
While Eternal Vigilance will Make America Great,
Again and Again...
I’ll just be over here chatting with the MAGA folks
that seem to possess superior discernment.

Yup. I suspect now Huber and Horowitz do.
(with appropriate controls and safeguards this time around.)

Utah?
Say, isn't that where Huber's from?

We got an extra tall DC cherry tree lined up for YOU, Commey...
yes sessions and trump did nothing. They could have indicted Hillary based on the comey report and then the coup when the dossier and FUSA appointed became known. Yes, that was the correct time.
You think it’s timing, but it’s becoming obvious none of those four will ever be held accountable.
We're going to have to make examples out of such DNC reptiles, lest they get ideas about using the government against US, too.
Trump and his family are only in the way of the DNC reptiles coming after us.
p
The AG of NYState has sworn a solemn oath to take down the Trump family.
“...its becoming obvious none of those four will ever be held accountable.”
I will simply observe that the more obvious it becomes
that they WILL be held accountable, the more shrill,
frequent, and desperately debunking, assertions like
yours will sound to those that know better, intend
better, and work better at Making America Great Again.
Unless you just want to go straight to civil war, or
incite some of us to start it for you, why not have a
nice cup of DeClassifinated Covfefe, and help us MAGA?
Alas, I’m beginning to think you have other plans.
