So what? Any claim that this is illegal runs into First Amendment problems. The desire of Democrats to criminalize the speech of people it believes to be political opponents is alarming. (See: Rick Perry)

Besides, Comey testified that President Trump never told him to end any investigation. So Comey didn't view the purported "loyalty" question to be a demand to end an investigation. Besides, as chief law enforcement officer, the president has the authority to end any investigation (which again, DJT didn't do).

Comey lies, and McCabe swears to it. Two peas in a slimy pod. Get rid of him.

It’s a lie, anyway. It is part of Comey’s plan to entrap Trump and get a Special Counsel appointed. McCabe is one of the players in that plan.

Trump told Comey he better hope that there is no recording of that meeting. I bet there is one, but not one made by Trump. Maybe NSA or CIA, but Trump knew about it.

What should Trump request? Disloyalty?

Was it loyalty to the President or was it loyalty to the team? If it was loyalty to Trump, did it mean loyalty in the corporate sense which equates to loyalty to the team? I am sure this quisling gave the most damaging meaning, knowing very will he has given loyalty oaths many times in his career.

Seven hours of testimony and this crap leaks out.

Comey could find any number of people from the swamp that would back up any lie he wanted to tell. It means nothing.

They got nothing, legally.

1. Comey already testified under oath he never felt pressured by Trump. Even Comey’s own quote of Trump was the word “hope” not an order.

2. Rosenstein was Comey’s direct boss and wrote the memo to Trump recommending the firing, and Rosenstein later testified under oath he stood by it.

Since the opposite of ‘being loyal’ is being a ‘traitor’, why wouldn’t the President ask those under him to be loyal ?

The DEMS believe that ‘being loyal’ means that you must be willing to do things that are unconstitutional and illegal and corrupt and immoral for your ‘boss’ because... that is how they’ve always done it.

So? A president has a low level bureau director, who serves at his pleasure, and he cannot demand hat person be loyal to him and his vision?

The FBI is too full of itself and sees itself as independent from the executive branch, and from Congress.
They truly believe they should set their own policy without any interference.
Apparently they even think they should have final say on the presidency and are a sort of internal affairs to watchdog OVER the white house.

This is America’s Stasi, America’s KGB.

He could sell used cars to used car salesmen

This is my own quote, but should be on Comey's tombstone.

This from a man that was conspiring against a President and who’s wife got $700,000 from Hillary’s corrupt Money Man.

“So what” was my first thought. The president is swimming in a pool with sharks; makes sense for him to ask for loyalty, if he did so. This story, if true, does not bother me at all.

I don’t know the man, but I think President Trump values loyalty quite highly.

Plus he is/was dealing with a lot of Obama leftovers, so to speak.

First, this is text book heresay. Second, what does that even mean, “loyalty?” Loyalty like, “hey, I know you worked for Obama but I may have some different priorities and your loyalty shoul lie with me, the administration you now serve.”

Third, note the hot pivot to obstruction of justice. No collusion evidence exists but let’s keep the coup going by alleging obstruction of an investigation that should never have happened in the first place.

Every FBI director needs to be loyal to the president he serves... If he can’t commit to that loyalty, he should pack his bags and leave... Or be fired. Apparently Comey was not offering his loyalty and he was obviously not packing his bags... That it itself was enough reason for Trump to fire him.

McCabe and his wife took a loyalty pledge to ClintonF,
to protect U transfer to Russia and ISIS,
and to protect nuclear transfers to NClownKorea.

McCabe KNEW Seth RIch was to be slaughtered.

Did both McCabes also know in advance?

What is so hard to understand? Trump knew that there was a high level conspiracy against him. He wanted assurance that Comey had his back. Every CEO in this country demands that from his key employees.

This is the best that Schiff can leak after 8 hours of McCabe testimony. Rehashing of a months old story through the hearsay of a tainted witness. The guy is desperate. The Republicans have leaked nothing and this slimy little worm
can only come up with this nonsense!

One lying liar, lying that the other lying liar didn’t lie when he in fact lied like the lying liar he is.
