Comey says there's 'obviously' evidence Trump obstructed justice in 2017 talk about Flynn
MSN News ^ | 12/10/2018 | Mike Memoli

Former FBI Director James Comey offered a stark assessment of President Donald Trump's potential legal jeopardy Sunday, saying new filings from federal prosecutors point to heightened scrutiny of the president's own conduct.

If Trump is not yet an unindicted co-conspirator to charges already filed by the special counsel and federal prosecutors against former Trump associates, "he's certainly close," Comey told Nicolle Wallace, host of MSNBC's "Deadline White House" and an NBC News political analyst, during a discussion at the 92nd Street Y in New York Sunday night.

It was Comey's first public appearance since prosecutors in New York and on special counsel Robert Mueller's team offered the greatest insight yet into the extent of their respective probes via new sentencing memoranda for former Trump personal attorney Michael Cohen and former campaign chairman Paul Manafort.

“Comey really hates President Trump. “

I think it’s mutual.

It isn’t possible for the president to obstruct justice. He can order DOJ to have an investigation started or stopped. He can overturn a result with a pardon. He can fire his AG or the ladder of that snall subordinate bureau.

By the same reasoning then it’s obvious Comey is gay.

Who cares what Comey thinks. He’s unemployed.

He does know the president is the head of the doj doesn’t? But if he wants to talk about real obstruction of justice that would be someone like him who wrote the conclusion to an investigation before it was conducted, and usurped the role that the AG should have played.

Comey really hates President Trump
. . . and is in league with Hillary. Comey thinks that wanting to “go easy on Flynn” who wasn’t guilty of anything (“guilty” of “lying to the FBI” when the FBI itself didn’t believe that) is obstruction of justice.

Some “justice!”

What remained of my trust and respect died at Ruby Ridge, at Waco, at OKC.

Comey has an odd view of obstruction of justice.   He presumes that bimbos would have flown out of the woodwork and their false accusations would have torpedoed our President’s campaign.   We can extrapolate that viewpoint from President Clinton’s actual bimbos.   Comey is a stupid idiot.

So Trump coconspired with Flynn to lie about a meeting date ? When there was no crime in the meeting ? And Trump decided to use campaign funds instead of his own money caused that is just the way he rolls apparently. Wake me when the shooting starts.

[2009] Judge Emmet Sullivan rips federal prosecutors for misconduct:

"A federal judge on Tuesday set aside the conviction of Republican former Sen. Ted Stevens while excoriating the case's prosecutors."

"District Judge Emmet Sullivan also appointed an independent, nongovernment attorney, Henry Schuelke III, to investigate possible misconduct by the government lawyers who prosecuted the 85-year-old former senator from Alaska."

""In nearly 25 years on the bench, I've never seen anything approaching the mishandling and misconduct that I've seen in this case," Sullivan said."

And yet, nothing happened to the Asst US Attorney’s that prosecuted the case. Deep State has been around a long, long time. A lot of this stuff gives credence to whole Skull & Bones, etc histories. Amazing how the same players are involved in so much.

yup, although by that time it was Holder/Obama over the DOJ. They were into their own cover-ups and scandals that may not have anything to do with Skull & Bones etc.
