Nothing to hide.

Trump is baiting Comey to testify.

Comey is hiding.

Will Comey plead the Fifth at any time during his testimony?

Go ahead Combover. Contradict your previous sworn testimony. Let’s see how many perjury charges you can pile up.

I don’t care on which side I was on ....I would plead the 5th for anything to do with this.....including Comey.

This is such a stupid line of question. It is sad the White House even let it go on. They instead should say, Trump should tweat: Which lies will Comey tell? He cannot say to congress one thing a few weeks ago, now the opposite. One is a lie. If he lied before, then he violated policies by not reporting his concern/experience. What is it Comey? Lies then or now? Yes, fired and rightfully so. We do not need this kind of self-serving political hack in the FBI.

It was a rumor drummed up by fake news anyway.

I think you nailed it right there.

Like many here, I have viewed Comey’s testimony from the first week of May. It seems pretty unequivocal.

Either he denies any interference — just as in his previous testimony — or he perjures himself. Open and shut.

Yep. Comey was HOPING Trump would claim exec privilege, so he wouldn’t have to testify.

The MSM is going to go nuts, now. But Comey will probably plead the 5th more times than Lois Lerner.

This is good. I had heard over the weekend that he might invoke it and I’m glad to see that’s not the case. I don’t Comey can say anything that would damage Trump without appearing to perjure himself.

Commie thinks he is smart, aka hildabeast, and that he can talk without saying anything, make political statements, make false claims, contradict testimony and get away with it because he believes the DoJ would never indict him.
