-- Has comey opened his yap about it yet? --

@Comey

Mr. President, the American people will hear my story very soon. And they can judge for themselves who is honorable and who is not.

1:43 PM - Mar 17, 2018

James Comey warns Trump: The American people will 'soon' be able to judge 'who is honorable and who is not'

The Associated Press also had just reported that McCabe, like Comey, kept personal memos of his interactions with Trump. ...

... McCabe said he could corroborate Comey's description of conversations he had with Trump before he was fired in May of last year.

It was in the aftermath of Comey's ouster, after he said Trump asked him to lay off the investigation into former national security adviser Michael Flynn and asked him for loyalty, that the Washington Post reported Mueller had expanded his investigation to look at possible obstruction of justice.

DOJ/Rosenstein issued a press release about that WaPo story, essentially saying it was false.

We've seen Comey's spin for about a year already. It's the same spin the press has been running, Schiff has been running, and so on. It isn't going to get any more credible just because it's been bound into a book.

-- ... and all those shrieking stories about Obstruction Of Justice that have already been written lose more and more of their power --

The first time around, the Obstruciton stories were met with "conflict of interest" OpEds by the likes of Turley. I opined that Rosenstein and Mueller would be stupid (maybe they are) to introduce a conflict of interest, when they could find some weasel other than Comey's friend Mueller to take that part of the case.

Are Mueller and Rosenstien trying to create a conflict of interest, to justify self-immolation?

These jerks have made one hell of a mess.

***”paranoid” to describe President Donald Trump***

Calling POTUS paranoid is fake news. They really are out to get him, proven many times over.

Author Bill Bryson characterized Brinkley as “a minor American academic and sometime critic whose powers of observation and generosity of spirit would fit comfortably into a proton and still leave room for an echo.”

The attempt by the Left to canonize St. McCabe was instantaneous.

The FBI said he lied under oath and recommended firing him! that’s not vindictive.

What do these people want to happen to Trump? And his voters? I wish they were all pressed to respond. I’m sure they wish some kind of torture and death on us all.

"Nobody expected Hillary to lose."

That is the crux to all of this. Had Hillary won the deep state could continue. She unexpectedly lost and they are all exposed to criminal charges they thought they were protected from.

She said it herself, in a rare moment of lucidity: “If that S.O.B. wins, we’re all going to hang”.

I agree.

And immediately thought back to his announcement about the conclusion of the Hillary email “investigation”. He built the case, and continued to shore it up, then you waited for the “we are going after her”, but he took a quick turn to the “we can’t prove intent, so we will drop it”, and I just threw up my hands and said “There is no justice!”

Yeah I saw it. Trump needs to label the democrats as the “Party of illegality”. Exhibit one is 30 million illegals.

Actually, Comey didn’t say it was only because of proving intent. He said something like “No prosecutor would bring such a case”. He meant no one would prosecute a high official like Hillary for this crime. But Trump he would prosecute for everything imaginable.

Which implies that the FBI was in collusion with Hillary to rig the election.

Funny story about Brinkley and Rose.

They are talking about Obama’s IQ. They agreed it was off the charts.

Rose asked Brinkley, What is Obama’s IQ? He didn’t know.

Neither of them knew, but they agreed it was off the charts.
