Comey won't commit to investigating Obama officials over Flynn leaks
washington examiner ^ | 3/20/17 | JOEL GEHRKE

Posted on 03/20/2017 1:09:56 PM PDT by RummyChick

FBI Director James Comey declined to say Monday whether his team has launched an investigation into the leaks that led to former White House national security advisor Mike Flynn's ouster.

Comey was pressed by Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., to say whether he could confirm such an investigation is taking place, but Comey said he could not because it might confirm that classified information was leaked.

"I can't, but I hope people watching know how seriously we take leaks of classified information," he said during Monday's hearing on Russia's influence on the election. "But I don't want to confirm it by saying that we're investigating it."

Comey has a sure felony crime here that he won’t commit? And He had Hillary dead to rights on mishandling top secret data at the very least. But he testified today that he will keep looking and investigating for a Russian Trump connection that violated the law where none has been found. Comey has to go.

That seems to have been the case since Roberts about faced on Obamacare.

The DNC is a hive of scum and villainy, the cold dead hand of the Comintern still managing to pollute our society and government.

Well I think something worse but I’ settle for that!!

Trump’s not stupid. Is there a reason we don’t know why he’s keeping him for now?

When you learn that Comey worked for The Clintons in government and in the Foundation, then you will understand that he is not American and is not for the safety of America or it’s laws or it’s people...

Comey is a Democratic tool. As he intended, the hearing only slandered Trump.

Months ago, I read on FR that FBI workers won’t even speak to him anymore, that they shun him for failing to do the right thing. His resignation needs to be demanded. He needs to be investigated. He is so obviously compromised. At the rallies, when PDJT mentions Comey, they should yell “Lock HIM up!”

The biggest problem with all this is that President Trump really has few people to turn to who he can trust and rely on. The system is thoroughly compromised.

“Too late for firing now. The problem is if Trump fires Comey now, it will look like political retribution, and more fodder for the liberal/MSM cries for impeachment.”

Comey should have been fired along with the DoJ firings. Next good opportunity would be amidst another level of mass firings that I hope are coming up. Since we are only two months into Trump’s admin I don’t think it is too late to fire Comey. I do think the longer he waits the harder it is to fire him from a political standpoint.

Because Trump doesn’t know who to trust and rely on. Chances are a Comey replacement would be as bad or worse than Comey.

I agree with you. Comey is protecting several people, including Obama and Hillary.

This is a seriously dangerous situation. Now we’re undeniably in an Oligarchy.

RummyChick, Trump doesn’t have to get rid of the Merit Systems Protection Board, he can defund the Merit System to the point that Merit increases won’t buy a WalMart RootBeer from their vending machine.

THE MSM IS HAVING AN ORGASM OVER COMEY’S STATEMENTS.

Those ####S.

“He destroyed Trump’s claim of wiretapping”

“There is definitely something there with Trump/Russia connection as comey is investigating”

NBC called the whole thing a GUT PUNCH to Trump.

I, for one, couldn’t give a flying #### what who did.

I dont care if Trump and Putin discussed the election in a hot tub, I say he doesn’t leave no matter what and a WAR IS BEING WAGED against Trump and us.

I have a feeling comey is going to FIND EVIDENCE.

That ####.

What see you all?

Fire Comey. He is nothing more than a hack.
