Translation: Thank you for reminding me three times of your blackmailing ability.
Skeptical of intent, but still quite amusing.
If Comey’s not allowed to comment on ongoing investigations, or potential investigations, he’s not allowed to tell president Trump about any investigation regarding Trump. Would he have called me to say “you’re not under investigation?” Or is that just a favor he does for the powerful?
So, if president Trump had been under investigation and Comey lied about it, then Comey was outside the lines of the law.
Or was Comey threatening the president by insinuating that he COULD put Trump under investigation?
One Donald Trump would not take that too kindly. And Comey’s public comments kept hinting at something involving Trump.
I’ve read many saying folks were afraid of Comey.
Was he trying to put Trump in his place?
Trump might be giving folks something to think about in his brief letter. Was Trump threatened?
LOL! And the MSM has it everywhere
Every time the heads of the spy groups were asked if there was any evidence of Trump collusion each and every one said no...even Comey
I don’t think the attempt to keep the Left Base enraged until the next election is going to work. Mass nervous breakdowns are coming soon.
And, there really doesn’t seem to BE much fight in the Left.
Consider...
Many Republicans couldn’t stand Trump and wanted him out of the campaign. But they still followed their own rules and Trump won the nomination fair and square.
The Democrats followed their rules too. Those rules allowed the power structure to nominate Hillary when Bernie might well have won in a straight up primary without superdelegates.
Yet, the Left doesn’t seem outraged at the Democrat brutish behavior usurping the power of the people! Have we seen a March for Bernie? A March against the DEM-E?
Except you can’t prove a negative, Rush.
Yes!
Since Presidential conversations and meetings are recorded, I suspect that there are three recordings of Comey saying it. Trump would love a scenario where Comey denies saying it, the media wets itself, then Trump plays the tapes.
Others have theorized:
1) that Trump brilliantly used the occasion to remind us that the FBI has found nothing on him, and is not investigating same;
2) that Trump read the three assurances as a blackmail threat (as in “Nice Presidency ya got there. Be a shame if an investigation wrecked it.”)
My theory: Trump was saying F.U. to Comey, who after making these assurances, just asked Asst AG Rod Rosenstein (sp?) for funding to greatly expand the investigation of fake Russian Election Influence. That investigation would have been aimed 100% at undermining Trump and destroying him by association. Comey assurances were Clinton-style lies while he went full steam ahead with the Democrats’ anti-Trump witchhunt.
I hope the plan is to name a new Director, and let him/her fire McCabe and the other Hillary protectors within the FBI.
