FBI Director James Comey on Monday publicly refuted President Donald Trump's claim that the Obama administration wiretapped Trump Tower before the 2016 election, saying neither he nor the Justice Department have evidence to back the president's explosive tweets.
"With respect to the president's tweets about alleged wiretapping directed at him by the prior administration, I have no information that supports those tweets. And we have looked carefully inside the FBI. The Department of Justice has asked me to assure you that the answer is the same for the Department of Justice and all its components," Comey testified before the House Intelligence Committee.
It marks perhaps the strongest rebuke yet of Trump's allegations, which the bipartisan leaders of both the House and Senate intelligence committees said they have not seen evidence to support.

A strong rebuke of Trump? Was Comey being deceptive misleading the nation? Comey knows what Trump meant - "wiretapping" is also surveillance incidental or not.

He is going to get away with it by saying it wasn’t aimed at him, but as long as they had the data they decided to pass it around

Comey is a lying puppet.... either selling out or given in to blackmail threats.... ie Robertsized

He’s a schmuck and needs to be ‘quituated’ (as we called it in our family business).

“Buffoon in a Websters Dictionary has Comey’s picture.”
Maybe he can top off this clown act with a live plug for the cintoon Global Initiative during testimony?

Yeah. You said you had no information that Frau Cankles had a private email server until you were forced to admit that you did know.
Why is this guy not in jail?

What I’d like to know is if he has any information that directly refutes it...
To: Red Steel
Trump said from the very beginning he learned about the wiretapping from the media (implying therefore that evidence is out of the question). :)

“I have” but he did not say he knows of none. He merely said he has purged any such information in his possession.

FBI's Comey: 'I have no information' to support Trump's wiretapping tweets "I do not have incriminating evidence in my physical possession at this very moment."
