Comey: "I've Never Thought" Of Electronic Surveillance As Spying
RCP Video ^ | 4-11-2019 | Ian Schwartz

Posted on 04/12/2019 6:30:39 AM PDT by Sir Napsalot

Former FBI Director James Comey said Thursday ...

"With respect to Barr's comments, I really don't know what he's talking about when he talks about spying on the campaign," Comey said. "It's very concerning because the FBI, the Department of Justice conduct court-ordered electronic surveillance. I have never thought of that as spying."

There is nothing more iconic in spying than planting bugs — which is what these treasonous Deep Staters did.

The fact that this loon was ever the head of the FBI should frighten all Americans.

You have to really see it to believe the gall of this bottom dwelling critter.

I did see it (and yes, he really is a POS) but did you notice his body language and voice/vocal cues? He looked like he was caught in a snare and sounded like he was being choked-out.

I smelled fear - and that's a good thing. He and Brennan are two I that MUST be jailed and/or ruined.

I have never thought of electronic surveillance as spying.

And I've never thought of an investigation as a "matter".

The great part about this is that he, perhaps unintentionally, admits that it DID happen.

There are a lot of things Comey never thought of!!

He never thought Hillary would lose!

So he never thought of how his directorship of the FBI would look when it was revealed he’s a dirty cop!

Court sanctioning it based on flimsy evidence?

Or if the court and its judges were in cahoots with the spies.

Capitol Briefing - McDermott Owes Boehner $1 Million for ...
voices.washingtonpost.com/.../04/mcdermott_owes_boehner_1_milli.html

Apr 01, 2008 · McDermott Owes Boehner $1 Million for Legal Fees. A U.S. District Court judge ruled Monday that Rep. Jim McDermott (D-Wash.) owes House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) more than $1 million in legal fees in their decade-long fight over an illegally taped cell phone call McDermott leaked to the media. Boehner sued McDermott in 1998...

I almost hate to raise the question — What the heck is she wearing and what is under her jacket?

She sounds like a lunatic in this clip.

I understand one of the ticket holders in the front row stood up and yelled, ‘This is boring, Bill! Tell us about Jeffrey Epstein and the Lolita Express!!” To which Bill said NOTHING and Hillary started screaming about “agent provacateurs” — so maybe the Clintons paid this person to start the disruption?

Comey to introduce a short video from Spy vs. Spy as evidence spying is only carried out by crow looking cartoons.

That's not the point. The headline is quoting him as not considering electronic surveillance to be spying. That's misleading. He is a lot of things but stupid isn't one of them. According to the excerpt, he doesn't consider Court-sanctioned surveillance to be spying.

The perfect person to ask about this is Gingrich, who as you’ll recall had his mobile telephone call recorded by Lefty Teacher Visitors to DC. Oh, suuuure..! It was all very innocent and spontaneous. Yeah, they weren’t political operatives AT ALL. They were just amateur teachers visiting DC, who threw together some wires and chips and had a high-tech SURVEILLANCE DEVICE —like MacGuever making an ultralight out of plastic, chewing gum and fishing line.

They gave the recordings to McDermott, a Democrat also connected to Islamic Jihad, etc... and he got successfully sued by Boehner who was also on that conference call with Gingrich. To defend against the lawsuit, McDermott received fundraising help from Bill Clinton and also at least $5000 from a recipient of Saddam Hussein's oil vouchers, Shakir al Khafaji, the same guy who used his Saddam regime money to finance pedo UNSCOM inspector Scott Ritter's propaganda documentary "In Shifting Sands" to the tune of $400,000... and who financed the trip to Baghdad by Jim McDermott, Mike Thompson and David Bonior.

This goofball was not only entrusted by a President to run the FBI, but he clearly thinks his exceptional intellect entitled him to his former position of high authority.

I'd like to get excited about what is going on with these new investigations, but for now it's still -- as it has been for far too long when it comes to challenging the Democrat/Left -- just a lot of talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk ... by a lot of people I once had great respect for but now I'm not so sure ... (I'm thinking Sessions, Gowdy, et al.)
