Comey should get his story straight on Clinton, Trump

It doesn’t matter how petty, dishonest, and illogical Comey is. His friend Mueller is going to support him in his efforts to cripple Trump. And the Republicans will let it happen. The only things that can stave off a disaster would be recordings proving beyond a doubt that Comey lied, but I doubt that they exist.

[HenpeckedCon]

He knew if he appointed a special council on Hilary she would lose the election. Pure partisan politics.

Comey knew if he appointed a special council, Hillary would die of old age in prison.

“After former President Clinton met on the plane with the attorney general, I considered whether I should call for the appointment of a special counsel and decided that would be an unfair thing to do because I knew there was no case there,"

Barf! The had classified info on her rogue server and worse. That's at least worth one FELONY. Shows Comey is PARTISAN when it comes to the LAW.

It became clearer why the glib Comey dropped all those bombs....one right after another.......

.....he’s got a 10 million book deal......

Everything he calculatedly managed to say at the hearing......distilled into a sound beat.....is going to make a great chapter heading.

It seems to me that he was trying to get ahead of getting thrown under the bus by throwing others under it first.

And you have to wonder how he could be stupid enough to then go and throw himself under the bus saving others the trouble.

35. Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.

Collusion seems such a...gauche...term to use regarding #35.

Ya know, this has me thinking. Why does it seem all the elites are in love with Hillary to the point they’ll make up fake news and even become unethical cretins? Everyone knows she is not a likable woman. So, it must be that old “charmer” Bill that draws their respect and loyalty.

[Flick Lives]

Comey wanted to prevent the appointment of a special counsel for Hillary Clinton, who was the subject of an FBI investigation, but he wanted to “prompt” the appointment of a special counsel for President Trump, who was not the subject of an FBI investigation.

He understood that the appointment of a special counsel “would send the message, ‘Uh-huh, there’s something here’” and that it would be “many months later or a year later” before the special counsel would announce that, in fact, “there was no case there.”

---

Translation: Comey wanted to smear Trump thru a leaked fabricated memo to prevent Trump from being exonerated.

[Boomer]

Oh yeah; Lynch should be very worried. I think it’s obvious she was chosen because she is corrupt and would do whatever obummer told her to. Very loyal to her criminal cohort; obama.

At the very least Holder, Lynch, Obama, and Jarrett should all do serious time for their crimes of corruption and hiding evidence. Lynch meeting Bill C. on the tarmac in secret was the real kicker. The left keeps looking for collusion because that’s how they operate and figure everyone else does too and don’t understand why they can’t find it with President Trump. The obama Admin makes Nixon’s little petty crime look like he was a boy scout.

[Flick Lives]

This guy was really in charge of the FBI? How far down we’ve gone since J. Edgar Hoover.

... and the bar wasn't very high even back then...

[PGalt]

Lynch = Obama puppet
Comey = Clinton puppet

Sometimes their strings get crossed. Witness Congress’ punch(Lynch) & judy(Comey) show.

When did Trump tweet about the possibility of the tapes?

When did the NYT run the article.

Is it true that the tweet came after the NYT article?

Please help me sort this out.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Clinton payoffs are huge. Follow the money with Comey starting with the Marc Rich pardon.

The penalty for crossing the Clintons is huge, too.

I woke up in the middle of the night on Monday night because it didn’t dawn on me originally, that there might be corroboration for our conversation. There might be a tape. My judgment was, I need to get that out into the public square. I asked a friend of mine to share the content of the memo with a reporter. Didn’t do it myself for a variety of reasons. I asked him to because I thought that might prompt the appointment of a special counsel.”

What he really meant was that he wanted badly to find out if there was a tape so he would know how much he could lie and get away with it......he used his contact as a scapegoat to leak his own memo in an attempt to find out if the truth was out there in hard form which would open him to perjury if he testified the way he wanted to.

Trump tweet was May 12. http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/333081-trump-warns-comey-better-hope-there-are-no-tapes-of-our-meeting

NYT article was May 16.

Arrogance and hubris will be Comey’s downfall.

[faucetman]

“....would be recordings proving beyond a doubt that Comey lied, but I doubt that they exist.”

They do!

C-SPAN, YouTube, shall I go on?

[Titus-Maximus]

Much of his testimony seemed like an act....”aw shucks, I was really scared of the big nasty orange monster that my voice wouldn’t work. I couldn’t tell the meany to stop, I was cowardly.”
Compare that to his Ashcroft hospital speech where he bounded up the stairs. It is staged. He is acting for the cameras because he was far from showing leadership with Trump.
In reality, he never once believed Trump was obstructing. He never acted. And if the memo is true, it was a blackmail memo of a disgruntled employee.

[Andy from Chapel Hill]

Thanks.
Why was I hearing that the tweet happened AFTER Comey slipped the 302 document to the NYT?
