Comey is fiercely independent, that's for sure. States that NYT story was not true, I didn't catch which story though.

Rep. Senator went into the wording of the Flynn talk. 'I hope you let it go' Says it's not obstruction since hoping is not an order. Comey replies that while the words are not an order he did feel like it was a direction from Trump given the setting.

Also that he believes he was fired for the way he was handling the Russia investigation since he heard the president say that

Pretty directly saying he felt like the president was asking him to drop the investigation.

The story that said Trump and his team was under investigation for ties to Russia I believe?

Pretty silly to say not by Trump. It's both of them.


No one knows what was said on that plane. Thats the thing.

Whereas we do know what was said between Trump and Comey.

Further -- comey made a decision based on optics -- not information.


your faith in politicians is misplaced, there's a reason why this dude is hated by both democrats and republicans, selectively.


I don't have faith in all politicians.

What I do have is an understanding of how things work when people make statements.

He said he wanted to avoid the optics that the investigation was tainted. And reports have come out that there was misinformation pointing to the fact that it was tainted.

I mean, you can't claim political interference without actual proof. And theres way more proof pointing to Trump trying to interfere than there is wrt clinton and lynch.

He will wait until it the hearing is done, then:

or
B: Say something "shocking" about something unrelated, like "clinton e-mail" or "Obama wiring."

Come on Trumpie, I know you by now! He is actually never really defending himself, he always attacks back.

Yeah technicalities on the words "hope"

But the context is super important. As a lawyer he should know full well.

If your boss walks up to your and tells you he "hopes you do something," then you take that as direction. Period. Especially when he does it all Godfather style in some private dinner.

He's done something impeach-worthy is out, make him do something impeach-worthy by irritation is so, so in.

I don't know how what you're saying has anything to do with what I said, or why you're replying to me when I told you I would no longer reciprocate. I'm not in the mood to argue with you.

As in, he's put his phone down (someone's spelled it out for him) because the entire play is for him to tweet something or say something that dooms him. Your mood today in this debate forum is noted; if you don't want to respond don't respond.

I have his Twitter just sitting open today, periodically checking for when he finally lets loose. I admit I will be a little sad if we don't see The Donald blow up over this.

That's why comey will win the opinion of the public, because he is so honest he will admit his own wrongdoings.

Someone forgot there's more than one Trump. Jr's tweeting up a storm (even if none of it is anything particularly juicy).

The good thing is, everyone and anyone who is reviewing this matter will interpret it the same way. This nonsense about "but that wasn't the word used" is ridiculous. If your boss spoke to you like that, and you didn't do what they hoped for, you fucked up. No two ways about it.

Especially in contrast with Trump, who can’t even admit the smallest mistake.
