Aside from revealing that President Trump is guilty of exactly nothing but winning an election, James Comey sure did reveal a lot about himself. His feelings are easily hurt, he gets scared in Trump's presence, he gets nauseated, is weak, gets confused and stunned. He is sorry his workforce had to hear what Trump said about the FBI, that it is in disarray. He sounded like a college snowflake on almost any American college campus in need of a safe space.
After a lifetime as a lawyer, U.S. attorney for the Southern District, U.S. deputy district attorney, and corporate lawyer, this is a man who never should have been appointed as director of the FBI. He does not have the temperament for the job. We learned yesterday that he unlawfully leaked his own memo, property of the FBI, to the press to "spur a special prosecutor" and cover his own backside. Why not turn it over to acting director McCabe or the DOJ? Because he's malicious. He likely leaked a whole lot more to the press that is so in love with anonymous sources. The guy was positively Machiavellian in his attempt to smear Trump and protect himself. But Machiavelli would not be proud; Comey was too clever by half. He essentially admitted that Trump had done nothing wrong beyond making Comey uncomfortable, being a compassionate man regarding Michael Flynn, and not using the approved vernacular or prescribed handshake of the D.C. establishment.

Comey basically explained how he leaked:
On the subject of leaks: James Comey, Mike Rogers Testify on Wiretapping Russian election interference. 03/20/2017
Representative KING: ...I think it was on January 6, when yourself, Admiral Rogers, Director Brennan, and General Clapper went to Trump tower to meet with President Trump. The media reports are that at the end of that meeting, Director Comey, you presented president-elect Trump with a copy of the now infamous or famous dossier. And I don’t know how many people were in the room, but within hours, that was leaked to the media and that gave the media the excuse or the rationale to publish almost the entire dossier.
Do you — does that violate any law? I mean you were at a classified briefing with the president-elect of the United States and it had to be a very, very small universe of people who knew that you handed them that dossier and it was leaked out within hours. Are you making any effort to find out who leaked it and do you believe that constitute a criminal violation?
COMEY: I can’t say, Mr. King except I can answer in general.
KING: Yes.
COMEY: Any unauthorized disclosure of classified conversations or documents is potentially a violation of law and a serious, serious problem. I’ve spent most of my career trying to figure out unauthorized disclosures and where they came from. It’s very, very hard.
Often times, it doesn’t come from the people who actually know the secrets. It comes from one hop out, people who heard about it or were told about it. And that’s the reason so much information that reports to be accurate classified information is actually wrong in the media. Because the people who heard about it didn’t hear about it right. But, it is an enormous problem whenever you find information that is actually classified in the media.
We don’t talk about it because we don’t wanna confirm it, but I do think it should be investigated aggressively and if possible, prosecuted so people take as a lesson, this is not OK. This behavior can be deterred and its deterred by locking some people up who have engaged in criminal activity.

Watch the two men behind Comey exchange looks when King brings up the infamous dossier being leaked.
I wish We the People would take away ALL the power the members of the GOPe wield (vote them out of office more quickly). We manage it occasionally.
Wow. It wasn’t read into the record? did not know that, I started listening to it later.
No it wasn’t, so everything in that PDF file is garbage, I think that is why President Trump’s attorney has done what he did...
Those on that panel knew it also, Comey and Muller had this all planned out...
Amen. You are a real Marine. Love, Rita
Gee I miss the 1970’s.
You know, back when Bruce Jenner thought he was a guy and didn’t have such obvious mental illness.
[Comey was appointed by Obama. That tells us all we need to know about Comey’s character.]
That’s what I keep saying, too. Anybody put in power by Obama or the Clintons is an operative.
Comey’s actions, and non-actions, prove that. Repeatedly.
It is said he wears thong undies.
Note: All the swamp dogs, hags, and fat cats are sitting behind Comey.
BRAVO, PP
Particularly impressed with the image of Nan from San Fran, sitting at the table behind Comey’s right shoulder. The raccoon stole my heart :-) And being truthful, must say the skunk was kinda cute as well, in a smelly kind of way. Two thumbs up only cause that’s all I possess.
LOL Well, he does wear suspenders, that must count for something.
Read Psalm 2 and be at peace!
..Professor Daniel Richman....
... Whether he yet knows it or not, Comey’s testimony vindicated Trump and indicted himself.....”
Thank you God for answering prayer ....More please.... and thank you.
Finally, an accurate photo of the swamp.
Good observation- that's about the only time they even moved. Comey's eye did a little twitching in that exchange, too.
Amazing how much importance the Dems put on the Ukraine now that it was lost on Obama’s watch than they actually put on it when it was being lost. Their presstitutes barely covered it... as I recall they gave more coverage to the screwup of Georgia when Bush was still prez.
One of the first things Obama did was trash the missile defense deal Bush made with those countries.
Then they made fun of Romney’s warning about Russia and pooh poohed that.
Now they want Trump to be crucified for making dumb comments about Ukraine even as the Obama admin weakness and dithering was inviting Putin to keep grabbing everything in reach.
As if “red line” Obama would have done anything different to change the outcome...
Thanks, V K. Yes, Nancy P. looks stunning when she takes off her makeup and shows us her green complexion.
