WASHINGTON — The F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, asked the Justice Department this weekend to publicly reject President Trump’s assertion that President Barack Obama ordered the tapping of Mr. Trump’s phones, senior American officials said on Sunday. Mr. Comey has argued that the highly charged claim is false and must be corrected, they said, but the department has not released any such statement.
Mr. Comey made the request on Saturday after Mr. Trump leveled his allegation on Twitter. Mr. Comey has been working to get the Justice Department to knock down Mr. Trump’s claim because there is no evidence to support it and it insinuates that the F.B.I. broke the law, the officials said.
A spokesman for the F.B.I. declined to comment. Sarah Isgur Flores, the spokeswoman for the Justice Department, also declined to comment.

Don’t sweat it; next weekend, Comey will reverse himself. He can’t help; he’s of two minds, and “A double minded man is unstable in all his ways”. James 1:8
Apparently, Obama’s people are threatening Comey or his family, again.
Lol, you need to get a grip and get a clue along with it. You could not possibly know what you have stated in your posts here on this subject.
I think the Dims will prove to have been far off into the wrong on this, but to pretend that Trump knows all and sees all about the present and the future is just silly. If he's so omnipotent, what went wrong with his first EO on travel from terrorist nations? Why didn't he foresee every possibility there? There will be other setbacks and missteps and restarts.
You're entirely too hyped up on all this and need to take a break and take a more sober look at things later. But, just go on your happy and naive way.
Yep. Not going along to get along any more. (more like no more spinelessness)
Most cats are quite trainable. Most Tv is without significant content. Readig is still more efficent though without any visual info from talking heads that is sometimes of interest. Much better to be actively about during the day than on the couch.
Try leaving it on while you are writing software.
I am no lightweight. Multi threaded male. An unusual creature. Rather formidable IMHO. I am unique. I am me.
Being me is interesting.
Confusious spoke a curse: May your life be interesting.
He was an idiot.
Exactly, Will.
I'm not talking about some cooking show, female mud-wrestling, dog racing or whatever you might like. You can get all that on the Internet anyway. Did you not see what you're responding to?
"There are alternate sources for news everywhere on the net now. The lying networks are not the only game in town anymore."
And btw Davy, remember this is the country that recently elected Obamba, not once but twice. Of course there are still millions who still use TV. So there ya go.
This guy is far too twitchy for me, and I swear all signs point to someone having him by he family jewels. It’s just my observation, but the guy’s actions smell like ten day old rotting fish and seafood entrails.
Speaking of the internet, it’s all over the www that Lynch DID NOT call for prosecution, she went with Comey’s investigation.
It’s in your court to prove what you stated.
Otherwise you have no credibility.
I won’t ask you again for proof from the “book” or what ever source you prefer.
...there’s a thing called the Internet. Learn how to use it.
Ewwww but I agree...heh
“:^)
Not for the faint of heart...
Comey asked the DOJ to reject Trump’s claim because Comey suspects Lynch’s DOJ are the ones who illegally arranged the wiretapping!
Yep...
“insinuates that the F.B.I. broke the law”
Pretty much Clinton/Lynch lackey
it sure looks like it from here
tell me how all that activity surrounding the foundation and the campaign didn’t have criminality involved
she operated as a crime boss ordering that contractor group to rough up the Trump supporters
those eMails were very damning and yet..., nothing
just not buying that
The list is long.
Hopefully the Teflon will wear off soon.
Some heavy duty prosecutions are in order.
It’s so absurd that all we see is the fakenews Russia connection to Trump.
Maybe we can keep our uranium, I believe Russia was given the right to mine it here in the USA.
Bill Clinton gave Chinese technology to aim missiles at USA, Hillary gave nuke materials to Russia.
And Sessions talked to Russians while doing his job as senator
Since Trump IS NOT an expert on electronic surveillance, we need someone in his upper echelon advisors’ group who is, to tell us what they have found, know, or suspect re what kind of wiretapping/electronic surveillance, etc. it was.
This ranges from old time “bugs” to “pen-register linking”, to electronic intercepts of air-wave communications (walkie - talkies to phone calls, email tapping, fax-tapping, or something we don’t know about.
Trump has a bad habit of speaking in hyperbole (which is the sign that he was not a double-speak politician), so he needs to speak more clearly when he says/charges something.
That is for his own protection. The Left is like a school of blood-thirsty Pirhana fish, always on the lookout for a single drop of blood to attack.
We need the TRUTH to be our weapon, and we must be careful with the TRUTH.
By the way, has anyone seen any suspected hands of George Soros and his Marxist minions organization in these “attack” affairs other than David Brock, MoveOn.org and a few other attack dogs paid by the CAPO traitor?
Me too...

Here' the money quote, in case you're so thoroughly stupid that you not only can't search, but can't even follow a hyperlink:
the current Justice Department will not permit a grand jury to hear evidence in this case. And because only a grand jury can constitutionally bring charges, that means no charges will be brought.
Comey asked for a Grand Jury. His request was DENIED. Who had the authority to do that? And does the word "Duh" mean anything to you?
I like the way Trump speaks.
The issue will now be investigated by Congress. I am very glad. It will be public. We will see it all.
Way to go! Love it when truth is revealed with a little smack talk!
