James Comey Just Explained How Establishment Media Legally Creates Fake News
dcwhispers.com ^ | March 20, 2017

Posted on 03/20/2017 12:57:22 PM PDT by Helicondelta

Check out this quote from FBI Director James Comey’s testimony to Congress today:

“…It’s perfectly legal for someone attending a classified briefing to LIE TO THE PRESS about what they heard in that meeting. The FBI cannot go out and correct the record because then they’d be “commenting on Classified information…”

Problem is that now that he has said that the FBI is investigating the Trump campaign, firing him would give Trump’s enemies ammunition to try and get rid of him.

Trump can’t fire him, he has a 10-year-term and doesn’t “serve at the pleasure of the President.”

That it absolutely false. The FBI director can be fired at any time.

The 10-year term is intended to limit the time he can serve in that role, and that's it. Bill Clinton fired FBI director William Sessions back in 1993 without any problem at all.

I can only assume that Trump has some valid reason, as yet not clear to us, of keeping Comey in there for now.

Regarding civil war, if one happens, they will start it. And then they will be sorry.

What kind of DESPERATE post is this?

The only “collusion” and “deception” is coming from the FAKE STREAM MEDIA and the Establishment’s DESPERATION to get President Trump out of office.

Your post is full of LIES and DECEPTION and COLLUSION with the ENEMY of our Republic.

Sweetie, no one knows what the future brings. I can make a prediction, however... that any attempt to do so will meet with a response that could be described as astonishing and overwhelming.

Of course he can be fired. See Sessions, William.

The Left is obstructing, stalling and throwing fecal matter to win the mid-terms, by depressing our voter turn out and smearing the flailing R’s out of office, in order to regain the Senate and to coerce Congress into turning on Trump for impeachment purposes, or at least to neutralize him, leaving him to govern by EO.

The voters are on trial. We will have to hold together, or see the USA ungovernable.

Is it too late? I do wonder about that. Obama gelded a Republic. We are not the heirs of our Founders, but pawns for Soros.

Exactly so.

Had you given it some thought, you would realize these are examples of the things she's seeing that anger and worry her.

Ready, aim, fire is not just for when guns are being fired, but mouths.

I don’t believe all the Republican “kittens” have been blackmailed. I think most of them went along because they agree with the Democrats. I would believe the Republicans that were not willing to go along were possibly blackmailed.

“That it absolutely false. The FBI director can be fired at any time. “

Director Comey doesn’t think so, but I will be quite happy to be proven incorrect in my (mistaken) assumption.

“It’s perfectly legal for someone attending a classified briefing to LIE TO THE PRESS”>>> well there is legal and lawful. within government and lawyer sleazebags legal trumps lawful. for the rest of us lawful works because it relies on mutual respect and character. with spooks i guess if you lie and someone tries to tell the truth you have found a leaker (of the Truth) hard place to live. drain the swamp death to all the spooks. i hope that is what trump is doing.
