After Comey’s Testimony, Trump Looks BETTER, Not Worse
Posted On 08 Jun 2017
If former FBI Director James Comey’s testimony proves anything, it’s that President Trump was forthcoming and honest about his interactions with him. While Democrats are seizing on Comey’s firing itself, a discussion the two of them had about loyalty, and Trump’s remarks regarding the investigation into Michael Flynn, these incidents – at best – indicate a man who has never before served in public office and was perhaps unaware of what should and shouldn’t be said. It does not, by any means, rise to the level of “abuse of power,” and it certainly doesn’t amount to obstruction of justice.
What’s really interesting is that in his statement, released before his public testimony, Comey actually confirms that what Trump said in an NBC interview with Lester Holt was completely correct. That not only was he not under direct FBI investigation, but that Comey himself told him that on a number of occasions. In fact, Comey confirms that on January 6, Trump mused about ordering him to investigate the outlandish charges made in the Christopher Steele dossier. Comey told him that might be unwise, specifically because it would give the public the impression that the president was under investigation…which he was not.
As for the Flynn controversy, there are many ways to read it. In front of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Comey said he took Trump’s remarks – “I hope you can see your way to letting Flynn go” – as the president directing him to drop the criminal investigation into Flynn’s meetings with the Russians. But under questioning, he acknowledged that he had never seen anyone prosecuted for merely “hoping” that an investigation would come to an end. This is where we chalk it up to Trump’s inexperience. He was and is clearly a friend to Flynn and was disappointed to be forced to ask for his resignation. Was it appropriate for him to put pressure – indirectly or directly – on Comey? Probably not, but we’re in “slap on the wrist” territory here. And yet, the Democrats are throwing the I-word around.
When it comes to Comey’s firing, it’s clear that Trump was indeed frustrated about his handling of the Russian investigation. Why? Well, from what both Trump and Comey have said, it seems obvious that the president was sick and tired of seeing half-true information, skewed to make him look guilty, constantly stream out to the media. And he was angry that Comey, despite telling him and the Senate that Trump was not under investigation, would not say the same publicly. And he was likely also irritated that the investigation was dragging out and casting a pall over his presidency and his agenda. Perhaps he suspected that Comey was playing politics with his refusal to investigate the leaks and his simultaneous refusal to set the record straight on those leaks in a public forum.
Abuse of power? Not even close. To the contrary, Comey’s “blockbuster” testimony only proved that Democrats are chasing their tails and trying to give the American people a narrative that they themselves know to be fictional.
Admitting to attempting to obstruct Justice makes the President look better to you? Wow
WOW you must be drinking that kool ade again!! Hate to bust your big balloon but there was NO OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE but comey may be in trouble when they link him with more links lol
Comey is in Trouble because he admitted to the house under oath that he leaked classified information to the press and by his own admission of it he is guilty of violating the law. Soon we will hear of the DOJ bringing charges up against him for this violation. We might see Comey in prison for this. I suspect that charges are being filed on this as we speak. Further no one backed up Comey’s claim with similar testimony he is out on a limb cutting it with a saw. And about to reap the whirlwind
I call them dumbasscraps John. My father was one until the Kennedies were killed. I’m surprised a hit squad hasn’t wiped out the lil halfbred faggot and the benghazi bitch..?
Are you referring to Eric Trump and Sarah Palin?
js21, what does Eric rump and Sarah Palin have to do with this discussion?
Was meant for a different comment…sorry. Don’t know how it posted here.
You are a FOOL when you print comments that are NOT truthful buddy. Lost all your credibility. Comey was a CIVILIAN when he released his memo about his job. NO TV Station is saying what YOU are….there was NO classified information in the memo. Man up and stop acting like Fake news.
The memos were written while he was still a Federal employee. At least one was written on a government computer while he was riding in a government car. The documents are the property of the Federal government. Period.
At least he said he wrote them immediately upon leaving the President, but in reality he may have written them the night he sent them to his liberal professor friend or anytime between those two times.
Show the link to your evidence, please.
js121: That is what Comey himself said on national TV. Of course, he might not be telling the truth. He might have written them five minutes before he sent them. Or he might not have written them at all. He could have just called his friend and told him what to leak to the newspaper. If he did tell the truth and wrote the memo while he was still director of the FBI, then his work product belongs to the U.S. Government and not to himself.
Do your own damn homework, then perhaps you can get something straight.
js121 Get your Damm Head out of you Ass ……. Boy you are some stupid moron.. May God Help you….
Hey you need to ready the laws on what is company property
He got rid of the guy running the investigation of his campaign’s links to an unfriendly foreign government that sounds like a Obstruction to me. When the Boss wishes something would happen that equates to an order making it ipso facto Obstruction. The former FBI director wouldn’t say that since it is for the Courts to decide but this sounds like a remarkably strong case. Perhaps that is why more than 50% of Americans disapprove of him as President.
Golf is going to get J. Comey in trouble?
Gee I figured you had to be a big time golfer like Trump to get into trouble.
Proof please
He said I got rid of the FBI Director because of the Russia Investigation – those are his words.
Those words are part of the public record. QED!
More like “ROTBRAIN” the liberal moron.
You want Ranch or Blue Cheese with your word salad. Eloquent.
Sure doesn’t make Comey look good
Hearing aid batteries scrambling a message?
I don’t know if you were watching an alternate hearing but Trump most certianly did not look better.
All I heard and saw was Comey implicating himself in the illegal release of classified documents. In fact he admitted to doing so. We might soon see charges being brought against him by the DOJ
Comey was a civilian and they were NOT classified documents. Come on…fake news isn’t truth.
js121, Not paying attention, again. Comey said he typed the memo on a secured computer in a vehicle, not a secured location. That alone makes them classified. This is a gross violation of the rules, in fact a felony. You really need some critical thinking assistance.
No it does not, what it does mean is Comey did not want his notes to be read by others not that the notes are classified. The notes were personal.
js121′ Try again; this time read the statute and non disclosure rules; Anything that is part of or may lead to an investigation IS government property and therefore classified. There exists no such thing as personal property in this context. To your next non-point, in which you contradict yourself:~ did not want his notes read by others~. Then why the fuck would he leak them through a third party, to the press? Do you often argue with yourself and if so how do you know who won?
It’s real tiresome doing someone else’s homework.
Comet released federal documents without approval -any employee has no rights to documents created using company equipment let alone a federal employee or discharged employee
WRONG in a private conversation with the President they ARE classified documents.
Wrong not every private meeting with the President is classified, please show me that rule.
You seem to think so.
Comey released a memo that was written by Comey that may or may not be classified, that issue has not been determined but since Comey works as an inteligence employee Comey would certianly know if the memo is classified. Not every conversation with the president is classified.
The memo is really notes from his meeting.
Which was written on a government computer by a government employee , which makes it a government document. in this case at the time of it release illegal to release to anyone but a superior.
The notes were never actually released! He typed up another record to send to his friend whom then sent it to the NY Times, who knew it was classified and printed it anyway. Comey was well aware that they would, which made him complacent with having broken the LAW! Comey was supposed to have been well enough read in law to know what was and what was classified, and in fact did classify them, by his own testimony! In that move he identified himself as one of the traitorous leakers to the traitorous news sources and I use the word news very hesitantly as they seem uninterested in REAL NEWS, so they make up their own to suit there traitorous and illegal views! Comey was fired because he wouldn’t do his job. That would be to reveal crime, which is what neither he nor the NY Times did! Both are leakers and deserve to be punished!
Comey kicked himself in the ass!!! He looked terrible weak and feckless……in fact it was a shock to watch him and his comments only served to vindicate Trump.
You know who looked weak and feckless…whatever that is? McCain. I thought Comey held his head and spoke calmly and did not fidget and twist which is a clear indication of speaking the truth. You aren’t being honest with yourself.
Please take the blinders off js121….the real world is thing of beauty….
Those blinders are over your eyes RFK! Wake up and see the WORLD as it really is!
Blinders? You apparently have some money but you are definitely NOT in the 1%. The real world for us now is Corporate Fascism and it is NOT a thing of beauty. Our Democracy was a beautiful thing but some…as yourself…see no use for it anymore. Shame…many of us have given our lives for it so you can trash it. Vets aren’t forgetting you….you are forgetting them.
Blah blah blah idiocy
Obviously a really true Liberal Democrat Pam Dunn, aren’t you?
js121, perhaps you need to do some research or return to Civics 101. We are NOT a democracy – we ARE a Constitutional Republic.
As far as our veterans, those who support OUR PRESIDENT are the citizens who love, support and respect our military – both serving and veteran. OUR PRESIDENT campaigned on caring properly for our veterans, something not done for the past two to three decades and he is fulfilling his promises to our vets. Are you aware that since PRESIDENT Trump was elected, our stock market is at the highest level in history – $ trillions increase, our unemployment is at the lowest in years, 600,000 full time jobs created, 200,000 part-time transitioned to full time, housing market prices are up, more mortgage applications submitted, personal credit scores are averaging 700, labor participation rate is up – the entire country except the Demonazis are positive and looking forward. We have an optimism in this country unseen for several generations. Yet, the lame-stream media focuses on investigation into Russia, lies from Comey, and obstructing a duly elected, duly inaugurated and sitting President because they refuse to focus on all the great President Trump has already accomplished in less than FIVE MONTHS in office. They are scared to death if they do, there shall never be another Dem in the WH.
It has ever moved in that direction by the shenanigans of the Democrats. True freedom has never been their cup of tea! Regulate, Regulate, we are the wisdom of the world. YOU must follow us or go to HELL! Thanks to those shenanigans, we are in fact very close to HELL!
LIARS are good at lying while looking innocent.
re: the HillBilly Clit ons.
The Clintons don’t look innocent, and never have!
Comey is a lightweight how he made head of the FBI amazes me!
That fact was greatly appreciated by Obama and Hillary!
Comey is connected to the Clintons! His brother works for the foundation!! Comey was NEVER a cop nor in law enforcement.
It is quite easy for experienced adult professionals to lie while speaking calmly and not fidgeting. You aren’t showing a lot of experience, here.
cv, precisely why so many pass lie detectors – they are experienced liars who have perfected the “art”.
Actually that is a course at the FBI.
Sorry RLK, McCain is weak and feckless. He’s supposedly from my state, but he’s seldom ever represented it! Teddy told him how to vote and he did. He’s lost now since Teddy died!
democRAT-ICK politicians and operatives like Comey are such practiced liars that they can even fool lie detectors. A judicious use of a water board would have had Comey begging to tell the truth.
Well, you may be a vet but you aren’t the kind of VET that is standing against Fascism like the rest of our vets are. Too bad people like you ever made it back home when you betray the Democracy we fought for.
McCain is one of the biggest fakes in the whole government! His heroics ended when he came home from Viet Namn! I don’t know what Teddy Kennedy had on him, but he always voted with him, never against him. I think the illegals and the snowbirds have kept him in office!
McCain needs to be put out to pasture, he is a distracture for getting positive things done.
Agreed, how did he head up the FBI?
Perhaps you need a brain pan flush to rid the donkey dung between your ears.
Look in the mirror Pam. You’ll see the person you just described!
142 trillion in federal liabilities tells me you’re falling for the “look over there!” game played by our reps in DC. Your share is a million bucks. Pony up! What amazes me is people are ready to argue about the meaning of “hope” while the ship is most assuredly sinking, with the holes blown in the bottom by the people you love in Washington. So long, suckers!
You of course are speaking of the illegal, make your own law Democrats? They’re the only party we see doing this. Somehow the Democratic leadership seem to believe that THEY, not the citizens of the USA have the right to determine whom shall be elected? Seems even more so, they’re deathly afraid to let them do what they promised the American People they WOULD do? Right. I guess all of you geniuses should just take over the entire nation? Lying, traitorius Hillary should be President? That would suit your requirement for HONEST GOVERNMENT? Don’t know who’s the bigger fools, the Democrats or their leaders? Put out your joints and take a real look at the REAL WORLD!
No, Comey came across as a total liar, then thru Lynch under the bus. He’s crooked.
Look again, Comey made an ASSSS out of himself and others of his ILK! He’s a born traitor, and thinks ONLY of himself! Not his country, ;or his president! He should have been fired the day he made his Hillary comments, by Obama. That didn’t happen, so he should have been the first person Trump got rid of immediately after he was sworn in! Comey’s a giant with a pea sized brain!
I may be a republican but I’m not insane yet. Comey’s testimony was fine and honest. What’s the argument about? He said nothing that could lead to impeachment of Trump and while some of you like your FAKE news reports….he was a CIVILIAN when he released his memo to a friend. There was NO confidential data in it people. Even Fox news will tell you that. Stop spreading lies or I’ll convert to another Party…you make it embarrassing for all of us.
js121 — I’m curious about your observation that Comey was a “civilian,” when he released his memo to a friend. I’m not sure I understand the importance of that! Does that, in essence, mean that anyone can disparage another person as a “civilian”? I’m NOT trying to be “smart-alecky” in posing this question, by the way. I’m just wondering about.
Not even close to the law and federal employees
Independent Voter — Thanks for your response. I’m not sure just what you mean, quite honestly(???) . . . What are you referring to? Is it Mr. Comey, who is not “close to the law”? In essence, I’m not sure I really understand what you mean. Would you mind expanding a little on your post (above)? Thanks.
Trump doesn’t have a snowball’s chance in hell, of remaining the President of the US.
So a little bird flew over your head and dropped that piece of crappola.”A snowballs chance in hell”.It is so curious where you posters get that kind of information .Kreskin the wizard?
Trump beat all comers who were fighting to become President, despite all odds against him, including Soros and his interfering with shipping in bus loads of rioters during Trumps campaign, and after he won.
It is quite obvious to me that Trump was placed in the position of President by a force not manufactured by man, but by Devine intervention. For what reason he was placed in the position of POTUS, I don’t know, only GOD does. But I believe Trump will be a catalyst in determining who the sheep are, and who the goats are when Armegeddon comes upon mankind. “Just as it was in Noah’s day, so will it be when the son of GOD comes to separate the sheep from the goats”… The world is becoming more and more like it was back when GOD destroyed all of mankind but for 8 faithful souls. The exact manner in which we will be subjected to the coming destruction is found in Revelations, but references are so made throughout the scriptures by Christ himself to his Apostles. (Matthew 24). So all this bickering back and forth is a waste of time. Whatever Trump does or doesn’t do the outcome will be the same. He is there for a reason and in good time, GOD will reveal that reason, good or bad.
Yes, nothing illegal in saying I hope you will drop the investigation, but considering how many traitors are still in positions they were appointed to by that “illegal homosexual Kenyan nationalist Bathhouse Barack Osama,” and the Demoncommiecrats Mr. Trump needs to tread carefully, in my entire 38 years of my adult life have I ever experienced such an intense technique of fabricating incriminating stories of a president in their 1st 180 days in office or so many Federal politicians calling for impeachment Demoncommiecrats and Rats alike.
I think Sheriff David Clarke’s chances of running for the U.S. Senate or winning the seat are finished, the Lamestream media has again deprived us of a candidate that truly cares about the Common Good.
And I believe you have not heard this. It will be Comey vs Trump in 2020. Trump does not have a law degree and therefore cannot really defend himself when he is confronted with the laws of this Country. Well, if Comey wins then he will hire his former boss Lynch. I can’t wait to see them working together again.
Keep dreaming loon!
tell you what I believe. drinking this early in the day is bad for your brain and you could become delusional if not crazy. so read your post again and you will realize what I’m saying.
I think it is too late to tell pmbalele this. This person is a democrat and is already delusional. pm reminds me of Nancy Paloosli. Scattered with the thought of sugarplum fairies (they might just be fairies) and the thought that democraps were ever going to get over losing the election by winning an election again. Absolute fairy tales.
Two men filling vacated seats, winning when they were not expected to get more than their own one vote. This has shown where the democrats will go next year. Even supporters don’t trust them any longer
You are one horrendous dreamer, that fairy tale out does Snow White.
Snow White & The Seven Dwarfs
The seven dwarfs always left to go work in the mine early each morning.
As always, Snow White stayed home doing her domestic chores.
As lunchtime approached, she would prepare their lunch and carry it to the mine.
One day as she arrived at the mine with the lunch,
she saw that there had been a terrible cave-in.
Tearfully, and fearing the worst, Snow White began calling out, hoping against hope that the dwarfs had somehow survived.
‘Hello…Hello !’ she shouted. ‘Can anyone hear me? Hello !’
For a long while, there was no answer. Losing hope, Snow White again shouted, ‘Hello! Is anyone down there?’
Just as she was about to give up all hope, she heard a faint voice from deep within the mine,
“VOTE FOR CLINTON”.
Snow White fell to her knees and prayed, ‘Oh, thank you, God! At least Dopey is still alive !’
That is pretty good Cur, did you fabricate that yourself ?
Naw, stole it.
Okay, You did a great review
Pinocchio, Snow White and Superman are out for a stroll in town one day.
As they walk, they come across a sign:
“Beauty contest for the most beautiful woman in the world.”
“I am entering” said Snow White.
After half an hour she comes out and they ask her,
“Well, how did you do?”
“First Place,” said Snow White.
They continue walking and they see a sign:
“Contest for the strongest man in the world.”
“I’m entering,” says Superman.
After half an hour he returns and they ask him,
“How did you make out?”
“First Place,” answers Superman. “Did you ever doubt?”
They continue walking when they see a sign:
“Contest! Who is the greatest liar in the world?”
Pinocchio says “this is mine.”
Half an hour later, he returns with tears in his eyes.
“What happened?” they asked.
“Who the hell is Hillary Clinton?” asked Pinocchio.
LOL for a long time.
This is a very good one. I am going to steal it. lol
I did. Be my guest.
curmudgeon: you made my day! LOL
Comey may have to wait a few more years to run. He would have a hard time campaigning fro jail.
I don’t know about that, Thomas! It seems the worse the crimes, the more attractive to the non-thinkers! Pretty soon, lying and deception will be a prerequisite for running for office! LOL
It largely is, especially if you’re running on the Democratic ticket!
You are an IDIOT !!
And I for one am GLAD President Trump does not have a law degree….seems to me that lawyers have betrayed America more than any others because they cover for each others sins…..
LOL. i am personally noticing that too. They brag-he is pro se and therefore should not be taken seriously. Why can’t other people rise up against lawyers like you? Thank God we have jury system. Some judges protect lawyers. That makes me sick to the stomach.
I would say that if Comey actually has a law degree, he’s forgotten everything he ever learned to earn it! As far as running for President, he’s a pipsqueak! He has never been a leader, he swings and sways with every breath of wind, this way, that way! No consistency with Obama, none with Trump!
More baloney from this African born TROLL!!
What is wrong being African born – you must be a low level racist.
Not a racist at all, I just object to assholes like you making idiotic comments on sites where you don’t belong-just for the reaction. F##K off, loser!.
PS IF I went to the shite-hole country that you come from and started making comments about the way things were run, I’d probably wind up in jail or dead! GO AWAY!!!
I know there are still people out there, like you, who still believe Blacks are intellectually inferior to them as Whites; and this is in governments too. Thank God we had Obamas in the WH for 8 years to diffuse such belief. Believe it or not it’s very difficult to change you and behave like regular people.
Not true. lots of brilliant black people out there. But for jerks like you- your color is A CRUTCH!! Things don’t fall your way “He’s Racis’! You can GFYS. the Obamas did their best to make America a shite-hole like where you are from!! You are just too dumb/stupid/blind (your choice) to admit it. Maybe you’ll go back!! I’ll buy your ticket! (one way only) Let me know when you want to leave!
Thank God, I should ignore you.
If you stopped posting your stupid, un-informed idiotic comments on THIS blog “(I’m STILL ROFLMAO at “Obama the living saint, and Michelle the living angel!!” (ROARING WITH LAUGHTER!!! then we could IGNORE YOU, too! Piss off, loser.
Hey, it was the only way he could get through Columbia! The Muslims kill homosexuals, but it’s okay if you’re a rich muslim.
I really don’t care what happens to Comey. I do care about the President and when even the likes of Chris Mathews has a lucid moment and admits that there’s no there there I think the witch hunt is on it’s last legs. Unfortunately for the lunatic fringe trolling this thread it will take a while for reality to set in.
Do you really imagine it ends here? They’ll keep it going for the next eight years!
It all depends. I’ve seen a few miracles in my lifetime. Hope and Pray!
I’m doing a lot more praying, lately…
The witch hunt will never be at an end. As long as Trump is our President (8 years) the left will continue chasing butterflies and conspiracy theories about him.
What needs to happen is that the Dems need to lose a healthy amount of seats in both Houses to give the Conservatives a Super Majority! That is the only thing that will stop the obstruction they have been heaping on the Presidents agenda!
I think you’re right, It’s the only thing the Democrats have that’s keeping them on their last legs.
After years of abusing the public trust, people have finally woken up to their Socialist/Communist agenda.
A supermajority would be great if we could only also eliminate the RINOS at the same time.
All it takes is talking and votes
Unfortunately all it takes is honesty! The RINO’s go home and point out a couple of items they want noticed, but ignore their liberal tendencies. We have two Senators from my State who are well qualified RINO’s!
That would be hard to guess, there are so many. Such as Az. definitely one SCar one who has two ?
all it would take is the arrest of soros, obama, clinton. that should stop most of protests, get rid of the rest by voting them out.
Actually, that would exacerbate the the protests and unrest. They would be cutting the head off of the snake and thus would stop the funding. But don’t think for one minute that the Pelosi and Schumer liberal morons wouldn’t cry out for protests like we have never seen before No, what we need is a good rising-up from the Conservative faction within this country to counter and quell the lefts violence. That will be the only thing that these losers understand. I see it happening in the near future.
Yep. Washington is filled with lobbyists and lower level gummint employees who fear losing their ,”Free Lunch” ticket. It’ll be a long hard slog clearing that swamp.
Agree, red, and it wouldn’t hurt to retire Senator Cain and the other RINO’s.
While I agree to an extent with you, there are a goodly number of RINO’s in both houses. These need to be exposed by their colliques and voted out of office! They are in fact worse than the Libs themselves, because they tend to be trusted.
You are correct, Pedro! I was floored when I heard Chris Mathews “benefit of a doubt!” It’s so unlike him to be clear and truthful about President Trump (or for that matter, any Republican).
Todd Schnitt brought up an interesting discrepancy in Comey’s testimony: he claims he never shared his “memos” until the night after reading the President’s Tweet that Comey should hope there were no tapes of the conversation. He says that he woke in the night and realized he “had better” give the info to his Law Professor friend to give to the Media, to catalyze the naming of a special prosecutor. These memos detailed the conversations between Comey and the President at the January 27 dinner. Yet five days before Comey released the memos, the day after his firing, some of their contents were included, verbatim, in a Washington Post article, outlining the “loyalty” conversation at that dinner. Even if Comey had verbally told someone about the conversation, the odds on a large chunk of it being WORD FOR WORD the same as in Comey’s supposedly-still-secret memo are vanishingly small. As Schnitt wittily said this afternoon on the radio, he “smelled a big 6-foot-eight rat”. Because if Comey lied about this, what else might he have lied about? yet he claimed THE PRESIDENT lied… which is looking quite a bit less likely, on reflection.
YEP. if a witness has been proven to be a LIAR, it may be assumed that EVERYTHING else he said was also a LIE.
I wish someone would ask him if obozo ever asked him or instructed him to drop any investigations concerning Hillary or the meeting of Lynch and Willie?
Obviously, Lynch did.
Whoretta Lynch lied?
NO WAY!
Bil Clinton lied?
NO WAY!
They were simply discussing golf and grandchildren, nothing more!.
I believe that Whoretta has NO grandchildren? Amazing that this would be a topic of conversation. Maybe Slick Willy was only trying to change his luck?
They don’t call him Slick-Willie for nothing.
She doesn’t play golf either!
The only people that believe this fairy tale are boxes of rocks that vote democRAT-ICK.
They’re both democrats, and democrats never lie. Ask any democrat.
Love it!
And then classified the conversation. Were the grand children working for Russia?
Where are Comey’s memo’s on this.
In a lockbox with Obama’s college records and Kenyan birth certificate.
During the 1st Hell LIAR y investigation, X pres. OHOMO said there’s nothing here, no corruption. Now THAT’S Obstruction of Justice by the president. How about when OHOMO said to O’Reilly ,”Not even a smidgeon of corruption”? What about when the investigation at Harvard was going on and OHOMO said, “The cops acted stupidly”? Where were the Dumb ASS ok RATS then?
The S.S. Donald Trump is going down, slowly, and all the far-right bull-(expletive deleted) about Obama, the Clintons, past Attorneys General, Comey, Big Bird, or Flying Pigs, is NOT going to stop the sinking. But if it makes LeeRoy and Daisy, et al, feel better by venting some of the absolute nonsense you see below, then “Post on, McDuff. And cursed be he who first cries, Hold! Enough!”
I have noticed that people who read and use mainstream media long enough gradually fall under its sway and start actually believing it. Although a Dem Lib forty years, I watched them go after Trump, and I studied what they said, which stories they downplayed or buried, which stories they brought forward, the modifiers they used, what stories the juxtaposed, which “experts” they consulted. They are not that brilliant, because I saw right through them, but I have five decades experience as a writer and scientist and have more training than the average person. Now, about two years later, I’m ready to resign from the Democrat Party and go independent. At long last, the Dems have reached the pinnacle—they are more corrupt and manipulative than the Pubs! I never thought it would happen. The rest of you partisans out there, just keep fighting about the definitions of “hope” and “is”! They made you look! Why do they hate Trump? Because142 Trillion dollars in Federal liabilities is grounds for jail time for every Rep in DC, and Trump rubbed their nose in it! Follow the money folks, follow it straight down to Davy Jones’ Locker!
The two major political parties comprise the Washington establishment along with the lobbiests and bureaucrats that suck off the taxpayer dollar.
I like the way you summarize, Curmudgeon. Well done! As always…follow the money!
I just Love it as one sees people hang themselves. The higher they are in job or life’s position, makes the hangin’ even better. Keep it up Saint James, you are doing fine and proving our many points and comments made by us in the past several months of which many folks did not believe. 🙂
No doubt the louse obstructed justice. Apparently all of you don’t understand English or don’t want to.
Well, let President Trump do his job, What he is doing is going to save this country, if the Demorats let him do what is best for the country. We are NOT interested in how rich they can get. I still think that the government should quit paying for all of the alcohol they can drink on their way to and from Washington.
They had ought to lose many if not most of the perk’s they get! When the Constitution was first drafted, the representatives came for business, then went home to run THEIR businesses! Today our Representatives and Senators get a whole lot of perks that Joe Blow who voted them in will never get! Foremost at this time is of course MEDICAL CARE! This doesn’t even mention free rides home, free meals, free lodging, and a whole staff of helpers that would stagger a lot of big business leaders! Many of these perks go on for life!
Yes, and it is too bad that we are paying for Pelosi’s alcohol on her flight home.
After Comey’s testimony you think Comrade Trump looks better? Better than what. The only thing that looks better for the Comrade is that his odds keep increasing that he will be impeached. He would definitely be indicted, but I don’t think a sitting president can be. So, he’s got that going for him.
Some of Christopher Steele’s dossier has been verified by our intelligence agencies. The remainder is still being looked into.
Even the most rabid conservative in the GOP has to ask themselves this question: Is president Trump a lying crook, or is he so incompetent he shouldn’t even be dusting the oval office. The truth is probably somewhere in the middle. No matter what your allegiance to your party or your political principals, you must be able to see that this situation cannot go on for much longer. It is injuring our status in the world and our economy. America can’t “go it alone” and only a fool would think that it can. We need the good opinion of the world, our security depends on it, and our economy depends on it. If no man is an island then no country sits alone on the surface of this planet. But, if like Pence, you put party before country then your citizenship should be revoked and you should be online right now purchasing a ticket to Russia because you are no patriot or an American.
OMG! The media is going to have a damned nervous breakdown. What in the world will they bitch about next? Wait a minute, good ole geo soros will think of something. That nazi traitor will pay “someone” to start some new shit, I’m sure!! ?

USA ??any more ?? Hope so !!So.,DRAIN THE friggin SWAMP !!
the democrat party is a bad joke on this country and we should do our best at every election to make them extinct. they obviously are upset they have lost power so dignity and respect doesn’t matter to them as they continue to look like jerkoffs this country don’t need. Comey was their last hope to try to get rid of Trump and it failed as usual. Come 2020 they will once again reveal their stupidity by pushing some Assclown out there for whatever is left of their pathetic membership to vote for but Trump will win both popular and electoral votes by a landslide. the democrats will never change they have been corrupt socialists for too long it’s all they know.
I say America needs this President and show the world who America Is and stay strong not like some pussy standing with their tail between their legs.If these people are so unhappy they should never live here in the United States to begin with.
Comey actually had a lot more to say but was having a hard time talking with his foot in his mouth. Trump should have fired this idiot day one.
LOL. Rationalizing is one form of LYING. And it is NOT the same thing as being rational. The author of this article has just a wee bit to learn.
Trump testify–NO! The hearing panel only wants the chance to badger him and entrap his remarks Let the special counsel do his job. A. Lincoln said “he who represents himself in court has a fool for an attorney”.
THE DEMOCRATS WILL NEVER STOP DOING WHAT THEY HAVE BEEN DOING FOR A VERY LONG TIME IS TO DESTROY AMERICA.
*uck liberals and everything they stand for

The sky is falling, and it’s the Democrats’ fault! Only Saint Donald can save the world. Somewhere, over the rainbow, little pigs fly.

How Trump Digs a Deeper Legal Hole When He Tweets
Violating the lawyer’s rule of thumb that clients remain quiet is rarely a good idea.

Trump needs to s t f u!
Now it turns out that people HAVE been convicted on obstruction charges in the wake of INDIRECTLY asking prosecutors 2 stop what they’re doing.
I’m not a lawyer, but I do understand legal basics. There’s a “prime facia” case of obstruction in what the president said and did. Eventually some kind of criminal case will arise outta all this. It could result in a dismissal of charges, criminal conviction, or something in between. Time will tell.
“The mills of justice grind fine, BUT they grind exceeding slow.”
” indicate a man who has never before served in public office and was perhaps unaware of what should and shouldn’t be said.” As far as I am concerned that’s a plus. This political correctness insanity has got to end.
Since the discovery of Lynch trying to direct Comey and him feeling uncomfortable, why are the Republicans not asking for the his memo’s made of that conversation. Seems like they would be the same thing as what he gave as a reason to write the ones on the Trump affair.
Trump is the President of the United State. As such he speaks for The United States and if he asks for loyalty it is for the American people. Only the Democrats would not want this.
The Dems are not going to ever rest. They are doing the Devil’s work by attempting to make everyone else as miserable as they are. One would think the Democrats would think the safety and security of the American citizens would be paramount, but nooo, they would have open borders for people who would rather kill us. They can also buy votes with welfare programs. One would think that getting people back to work and off welfare food stamps, but noooooo….Democrats do not care about the country getting better unless a Dem program is behind it. Democrats have sunk to new lows…They lie, distort, spin, propagandize, and rewrite history to further their agenda. The end justifies the means… even if it means destroying the country.
Everyday am glad I voted for Trump after seeing the pond scum like Lynch,Comey and the Clinton’s We all have a lot to be thankful for the witch didn’t elected.
*uck liberals and everything they stand for

A simple statement isn’t a crime. Comey’s testimony is vindication for the President; the Left can’t get over this. These poor mental midgets can’t live with the fact that they lost.
And there was the “accidental” meeting between Wm Jefferson Clinton and Loretta Lynch to talk about “grandchildren” See the FBI testimony about that.
President Trump needs to rid the swamp near him of all the king o hold-overs ASAP….as comey proved they are nothing but a bunch of cowardly weaseley liars and traitors…
Will this shit with Russia ever be over? TAXPAYERS are supporting an investigation that has gone on forever and looks to be on the books FOREVER! Could we just drop the shit? Then Mr Depends (mccain) has to get involved, and makes it even worse by talking in riddles! Still say we shoulda left his sorry ass in Nam when we pulled out! ? DAMNED TURNCOAT!
The nastiness coming at Trump is totally unjustified. He is like a man of steel and keeps plodding forward. He will win the race and we will be much better off?
I see Flynn’s contact with the Russian ambassador as a means of keeping contact with a country who has military forces covering the same grounds we do in the OPEC theater a wise move! Imagine should something go wrong between two units in the field. Do we let the military settle it on the ground? Isn’t this why we have diplomats? they talk so soldiers can avoid dying for no reasons. Cutting off diplomatic relations with the rebels burning up Syria and ISIS taking over ground throughout the region is just not a smart idea to me and the OPEC leaders’ are leaning more and more on Putin along with the Russian government as time goes on, even the new French President is looking to Russia to help out in the region because that is where they get their oil. NATO needs OPEC and Russia is moving in on both! Where on we? Thanks to Obama and the unmasking the Democratic Party has Trump up against the ropes so we are not doing a lot are we? Who is working with who? We have enough oil now but not NATO or China I imagine. and the power shift is going to others. I just don’t see this like others.
Sorry …. but, there is no testimony from anyone that can make this clown (DJT) look better.
……………….INCLUDING Comey!
Boy you saw a different hearing than I watched. Trump is in it deeper than he was before. Comedy has always claimed that Trump was not personally under investigation. His campaign and Administration are under investigation the correct response is that Trump is not under investigation, yet. At the start of Watergate the investigators were not looking at Nixon. They srtart with the soldiers and keep working their way up the chain of command until they find the highest ranking individual complicit. Same thing with Trump. The other telling thing about all of this is Trump’s behavior. He is not acting like a person with nothing to hide, he is acting like he is hiding something very big. Comedy would not come our]t and say that Trump obstructed justice (which he has) because that is under Mueller’s realm. Comedy is not investigating anything so won’t opine on Trump’s guilt or innocence. He was their to tell about his interactions with Trump and how they made him feel. Albeit Trump gets a pass because he is still new, maybe not. Y9u think by now he would have the good sense to consult with someone before talking to Comey, or calling president Duarte and sharing top secret information about our nuclear subs or sharing classified information with the Russians. Trump will only have himself to blame for the downfall of his administration. Wait until they get further in to the Russians changing the vote count in Trump’s favor and the election is declared illegitimate. Trump is surrounded by first tier advisors that have repeatedly lied about Russian interaction and doing business with Russians. Why did they lie? There are too many strange actions like this in the administration that need to be sorted out. Not only will this end Trump’s political carreer but this will be a huge embarrassment for the country having Russia decide our election. If that leaker would not have shared that memo it never would have come out. It would not matter that Russia changed the votes totals, it would never have been addressed.
Now they should like LOCK THAT ASSHOLE UP!!! Take that NIGGER and that BITCH with him.
All of you stupid Democraps are still listening to CNN, NBC, MSNBC the Fake News Channels and are getting the wrong information about the Trump/Russia conclusions which is false information. Democraps need to listen to the Fox news for more accurate information. The Russians had nothing to do with the elections and had nothing to do Hillary Rotten Clinton losing the election. Hillary Rotten Clinton is a criminal and lost the election because she lost the American Election based on the proper electoral votes. So get your stuff together and pick up your minds out of the gutter and support your President of the USA Mr. Donald J Trump. HRC is history and should never become the POTUS, she is a traitor, criminal, has committed obstruction of justice, perjury and many more criminal acts.
It looks more like the Clintons have been sidestepped in this investigation. There seems to be a movement underfoot to discredit Trump because no one can fathom why Hillary lost even Obama. I don’t recall the Russians directing my vote at all. I am also glad that Putin realizes this is an attempt to discredit Trump and add sanctions against Russia. All this while we waste young lives fighting Isis, Al Queda, Hamas and whomever
Looks like giving IS, Saudi Arabia 10’s of Billions and Trumps daughter 100,000 is going to bite him in the butt! How is it that he promotes hating Muslims and then tells us on camera that it’s the Greatest Religion in the World? How is it that Koch’s OWN the Whitehouse and he’s just a 10-digit puppet that they have waited for since Romney? How is it that their intention is to trash the Constitution asap? Fascism is alive and well in Amerikkka!! Can we all call each other Comrades now?
So Comey wrote a story about a conversation he supposedly had with the president and most of the democrats believe it even though he cannot show proof that any of it is true! This shows how ignorant some people are! Being under oath does not guarantee truthfulness! Comey obviously feared something, otherwise why would he write what he called a memo?
He said he wrote because the president said, Comey better hope there aren’t any tapes, this makes me think that Comey must have said something that would be damaging to himself! This then raises the question, did Comey think anything he wrote could refute anything on tape? Well. nobody said Comey was smart, look how he screwed up Hillary Clinton’s email investigation!
All Americans that care about this country, need to write their Senators & Representatives every day and demand that crooked Hillary be arrested, prosecuted and punished for her crimes against America and the American people!
COPY, PASTE, EMAIL BELOW MESSAGE TO YOUR SENATORS & REPRESENTATIVES EVERY DAY!
I want to know why Hillary Clinton hasn’t been arrested for her crimes against the government and humanity. This woman has broken more laws than can be counted on both hands. If you think that Hillary what difference at this point does it make, that four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens, Sean Smith, Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods died Clinton, hasn’t broken many laws, committed treason and was a complete failure as Secretary of State and a WPOS Senator, you aren’t fit to be a member of Congress! I am an American citizen and I demand justice for all. Hillary Clinton is not above the law, she is a criminal, she risked America’s national security and certainly is not fit to hold any government position in the greatest country in the world!
HILLARY CLINTON BELONGS IN PRISON!
The Equal Protection Clause is part of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. The amendment which took effect on July 9, 1868, provides that no state shall deny to any person within its jurisdiction “the equal protection of the laws”.
Anyone with a functioning brain should understand that this means all criminals shall be held accountable for their crimes as well, aka protecting law abiding citizens from such criminal elements (equal protection under the law)! I demand that Hillary Clinton return or replace the six billion dollars that went missing from the State Department when she was Secretary of State, that is taxpayer money and we want it! LOCK HER UP!
The wrong people are being investigated, the entire democratic part is crooked!
