James Comey thinks, but did not say, that President Trump is going to be toast once the special counsel is done with him — and all because of three little words Trump might have sung in the manner of Elsa the Ice Queen: “Let this go.”
Comey clearly intimated that Trump’s conduct toward him was an effort to obstruct justice when it came to the investigation of former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn — and that special counsel Robert Mueller would be just the guy to get to the bottom of what is clearly an impeachable offense.
That was the key revelation of the former FBI director’s gripping Senate hearing Thursday. Comey said the president’s behavior at a February White House meeting — during which Trump cleared the room so he and Comey could have a private tete-a-tete about Flynn — had “stunned” him.
That was when, according to the document he released Wednesday, Trump said to him, “I hope you can see your way clear to letting this go, to letting Flynn go.”
Comey said he believed this was intended as “direction” and he found it “a very disturbing thing, very concerning” the president would say such a thing.
Republican Sen. Jim Risch sought to limit the damage from Comey’s words by pointing out that hoping for something would not be grounds for charging someone with a crime. Comey replied: “This is a president of the United States with me alone saying ‘I hope this.’ I took it as, this is what he wants me to do.”

Yeah Comey is real stable, gets fired and starts leaking lies immediately in an attempt to hurt the president. Couldn’t sleep at night. Real good decision making. Mark my words, Comey is afraid of some much bigger crime being revealed and he is desperate.
He said, she said.
What does that ad for viagra say about seeking medical help for erections lasting more than 4 hours?
“Robert Mueller would be just the guy to get to the bottom of what is clearly an impeachable offense.”
1- No proof
2- Not a crime
3- Not enough Dem votes to impeach.
Mueller can go pound sand. He is wasting his time.
Of course, what Loretta Lynch and Bill Clinton discussed or why they met like they did wasn't very disturbing nor of any concern. It was just that little "matter" that didn't warrant investigation, right?
Trying to explain why the story last night didn't work........It's NEVER their fault!.....*G*
One big “unknown” here.
Is Mueller deep state?
Will he torture the law to bring charges against Trump?
I pray POTUS has tapes and there is not a smidgen of impropriety on them.

But wait, there's more! How does one ask an investigation be dropped if there isn't an investigation?

If they do impeach Trump, this old man will take up arms and go hunting.
Yep, THIS time, Trump is absolutely toast and his future is ruined. ABSOLUTELY the end of Trump, his days, everyone can agree without question, are numbered.
Sure, sure, this has been said by, well, pretty much every single liberal media outlet, at least, dozens of times since well before Trump’s campaign actually started. That they were proved wrong time and time again is meaningless in their eyes, as THIS time, they’ll kick that dang football.
And like Charlie Brown, they end up on their backs, staring up into the sky, promising themselves that next time, they won’t fall for it or they’ll somehow succeed where they’ve failed before.
Let’s, for the sake of argument, state that the special counsel somehow comes back with with a definitive report that Trump interfered with a federal investigation and such action rose to the level of felony obstruction. I’m doubtful that such a thing will happen, but let’s say it does somehow.
And somehow, the majority in Congress decide to vote for impeachment based upon this report and it moves to the senate where a trial is held.
I personally find it impossible to believe that there would not be at least 34 votes by senators to not convict. I think it is possible that maybe 53 votes might be mustered, knowing that such a vote would be meaningless as it doesn’t reach the two thirds requirement to remove a president from office.
Oh and of course, even if every liberal wet dream were to come true, you’re talking president Mike Pence. Not to mention the tremendous damage such actions would have on the Democrat party overall to effectively spend every ounce of political capital they have to overturn an election. I believe that would even break the liberal logjam that infects even California.
If you click on the link for the full article then click on the author's name you can bring up an archive of his columns. He was mocking and writing Trump off the entire election cycle and hasn't let up.
No intent. No crime. Investigation finished.
Worse. Notice how Comey quotes Trump as saying “I hope you can get past this...” and then says what he MEANT was “letting it go” and then after that it was “let Flynn go”. So the BSM quote turns out to be not what Trump even said, even in Comey’s own words. Nicely done. All BS.
No mention of “obstruction of justice” by Comey, Clinton, and Lynch.
Comey was the one obstructing justice and Trump’s job, enough said.
I hate to say it, but what would Obama say? How would he attack Comey? He would assert his authority and supporting a justice cause and pursue Comey for racism and other obstruction of his justice agenda.
It makes one wonder. It really shows us how spoiled these little SOB’s are if they don’t get their way. They lose an election, then made every excuse, and now want to take Trump down even with lies. Comey is a damn liar. I am tired of these Senators saying we know how honest you are. They are mostly money grubbing CROOKS in DC, and our elected clowns think they are better then we are. We have Obamacare and they have AFGE union insurance! Why? They are not Gov employees. They do not qualify. I have written both senators and demanded they renounce their AFGE heath ins. and pass the healthcare bill plus totally dump Obamacare.
Yup...Pod is a real piece of work. Happy you took your pound of flesh:)
