Comey says 'it sure looks like' Trump had criminal intent to commit obstruction of justice
CNN ^ | May 9, 2019 | Kate Sullivan

Former FBI Director James Comey said Thursday that "it sure looks like" President Donald Trump had criminal intent to commit obstruction of justice during special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation.

At a CNN town hall in Washington, Anderson Cooper asked Comey whether, based on the redacted version of Mueller's report on Russian interference in the 2016 election, he believed Trump had criminal intent to commit obstruction.

"It sure looks like he did, in connection with a couple episodes -- the direction to (former White House counsel) Don McGahn to get the special counsel fired is to my mind a flaming example" of criminal intent, Comey said.

They’re very scared. It might be coming tomorrow.

I pray you are right and I am wrong. Because I don't believe anything is coming except more resistance against Trump.

It sure looked to EVERYONE that Comey let Hillary skate on charges anyone else would have gotten prison time for.

Looking at a long stint in prison makes people say the darnedest things.

These days jerks like Comey can slander and incriminate anyone by “feeling” or what something “looks like.”

Then the dirty media does 24 hours a day of slander repeating it-—someone told someone according to someone’s anonymous sources as reported in the NYT.

Young people probably don’t even know we are innocent unless proven guilty——never heard of that.

So why didn’t Bobby recommend prosecution, Jimmy?

You and Bobby are best buds, after all.

Just ask him.

following Comey’s “The FBI doesn’t spy” moment - and Christopher Wray’s disgraceful opinion re spying, Alexander Downer suddenly appeared on Australian TV to say it’s ridiculous to suggest FBI spied on Trump campaign, and more.

sadly, the interviewer, Andrew Bolt, a Trump supporter, calls Papadopoulos’s Downer story a “conspiracy theory”.

only full audio is available online, but this needs to be heard by Papadopoulos, if anyone can tweet it to him.

the interview with Alexander Downer begins 9:03 and ends 20:15 (remainder concerns Australian federal election of 18 May).

On your first day, kick somebody’s ass or become somebody’s bitch.

Good luck James.

“SHAZAM! It sure looked like criminal intent!” said the blind FIB Director to the deaf journalist, who nodded in agreement.

Former White House counsel Don McGahn couldn’t have fired the White House gardener, PDJT used him to leak this notion to Mueller to get the word to him that he knew this was a witch hunt and had nothing to hide.

Directing the White House counsel to fire mueller is in no possible way obstruction. It is 100% in his right just like firing this d!ckhole comey

This guy was the Tool of all Tools. For Hillary, her staff, both Obie AGs, little Barry and then walked on by his staff on the left.

There he goes, trying to be a prosecutor again, and we all know how that ended for him the last time he went there.

Comey owns a car. I think he has criminal intent to rob a bank and use the car to get away.

the direction to (former White House counsel) Don McGahn to get the special counsel fired is to my mind a flaming example" of criminal intent, Comey said.

It's only criminal intent if you do it to prevent discovery of a crime.

It's already been established that there was no underlying crime, by Robert F***ing Mueller, of all people - no crime, no criminal intent.

Absent an underlying crime that’s a hard sell.
