President Donald Trump is under fire after an explosive report in the New York Times quoted a memo from former FBI Director James Comey indicating Trump had asked him to cease the federal investigation into Michael T. Flynn. The memo was allegedly penned after a meeting Comey had with Trump in February, with Comey writing in the memo afterwards that Trump said I hope you can let this go, in regards to the Flynn investigation. The meeting occurred the day after Flynn resigned.
The usual chorus of Democrats (i.e. all of them) are calling for impeachment in response to the news, but even a Republican representative is for the first time as well (under the condition that the claims turn out true): Justin Amash.
However, if the Times were hoping to use Comey as a pawn to take down Trump theyve shot Comey in the foot in the process. Contradicting Comeys memo is none other than Comey himself under oath.
Former FBI Director James Comey testified under Senate oath May 3rd that the Trump administration had not pressured his agency to halt any investigation for political purposes. Comey admitted that the FBI has always been free to operate without political interferenceflying in the face of Democrats paranoid delusions about Russia and President Donald J. Trump, and exposing for what it is a new political witch hunt Wednesday by enemies within the presidents own Justice Department.

As I posted on another thread:
When I heard that Comey all-of-a-sudden came up with a memo hed allegedly written right after his meeting with DJT, I had to laugh. Jon Lovitz as The Pathological Liar popped into my mind: Yeaaah... uh... I have a memo. I wrote it... uh... yesterd... uh... right after our meeting. Yeah. Thats the ticket! Right after our meeting.
How stupid does he think we are?
Now the NY Slimes is claiming Trump told the Russians that Comey is a nut job and he is glad he fired him because the investigations was giving him (Trump) a lot of pressure. More fake news? They claim someone was in the room who wrote the whole conversation down and of course it was leaked. First off, even if Trump did say that, he’s right! Comey is a freaking nut job and second of COURSE it was giving Trump a lot of pressure because that’s ALL the media and the uniparty has been hammering down everyone’s throat every day!
If Comey wants to have any dignity left, he would STFU & stop lying & just go away!
Minor quibble, but the NSC is white house staff. There are about 4,000 employees of the executive office of the President.
Polygraph everyone to find the damn leaker!!!
Could it be KellyAnne? Arrrggghhh!!!!
“It would be easier to charge Comey under the wiretapping laws. Doesnt matter if he is head of FBI. He cant record the POTUS without his permission. I am sure DOJ has all the records when they cleaned out Comeys office. Now start charging someone. Does anyone think these false allegations will continue if people start being charged. Very costly. Lawyers are salivating. Just think. DC Swamp is mostly lawyers”.
Well, Session has recused himself from the collusion allegation charge, but I’m not sure he’s willing to do anything for Trump until that’s cleared first. How can you be sure it wasn’t the NSA. Why hasn’t the Deputy AG or acting FBI director stepped up?
I’m glad that President Trump said that...
Comey and the libs are causing a lot of problems between us and the Russians, we have to have them in our cause to take down ISIS, to rein in NKorea and help Syria to get the people back in their countries...
Comey and the rest of these idiots are globalists and don’t want that to happen...they want war 24/7 ... We have to take care of America and her people before we do to much else...and these other countries need to start stepping up and paying for this to be done...
My dad is a retired detective, he said he could find the leaker in a day. I forget exactly how he said he would do it, but it was something like he would make up fake information that sounded very scandalous and just change a word or two, or a name and give people you suspect access to it, but of course each one is different so if it is released to tbe press and that info has a certain wording or name, you can trace it right back to exactly that person. I don’t know why Trump doesn’t do that, even if he has to hire a detective be should get it done and then see to it they are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, even charged with sedition
Minor quibble, but the NSC is white house staff. There are about 4,000 employees of the executive office of the President.
LOL, that’s why I said work you’re way outward.
Trump should give a speech on national TV behind the desk at the Oval office like Reagan use to do and say everything you just said. If he keeps resorting to tweeting this is never going to end.
If your looking in the House or Senate your not going to find any support...
We Trump Supporters, the 65 Million + American Voters are the only support that President Trump has...
That’s why a site like this is so vital to his Presidency, because we can stay informed and battle with him...
This is just as fake as the BS the liberals spew. The question he was answering was if anyone in the DOJ asked him to stop for political reasons.

Rosenstein: Comey Routinely ‘Usurped’ the DOJ

Had Sessions stopped napping yet? What a loser pick.
The “FBI Dossier” is evidence the FBI,led by Comey, is anti-Trump. The FBI is caught with one lying document in hand. All others created by Comey should also be viewed as lying.
The crap coming out of the NYT has NO rhyme nor reason to it.... The left has gone stark raving mad.... what their doing is just slinging any kind of mud they can get their hands on... Just making up all kinds of crazy stuff..
It appears that the only thing important to them is to make sure NOTHING bad about the Hildabest or the DNC makes to the evening news... For instance "The death of Seth Rich."
Now there's something that REALLY needs investigated....
I don't read the times, ny post, or any of the others, so I wouldn't trust what they have to say...
I think that is why people get so down is because someone will post something from CNN or some other ‘flea biten’ newspaper article and its ‘debby downer’ from there...
Keep your spirit high, read only positive and you will be fine...
“That will put a swift end to this b.s..”
Nah. The psychotic libs have subverted the whole ball of wax.
Hillary is running free, there are meetings on the tarmac to talk about the “grandchildren”, the libs are in collusion with the press to drive Mr. Trump from office, the msm continually accepts flimsy information as truth and advertises it as fact, tax rates have gone up, up, up and congressmen have become rich, rich, rich, there are leaks like crazy to undermine a duly elected administration,
non-liberals are characterized as cretins, liberals are becoming increasingly arrogant, smug, condescending, and to top it all off...
a larger and larger part of the electorate loves liberals.
