CBS’s Schieffer Sees ‘Parallels’ of Comey Firing to the JFK Assassination

Posted on 05/14/2017 5:33:48 AM PDT by davikkm

Friday on “CBS This Morning,” long-time CBS News personality Bob Schieffer reacted President Donald Trump’s decision to fire FBI Director James Comey earlier this week.

While many have made comparisons to Trump’s handling of Comey to Watergate, Schieffer said he saw “parallels” to the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

“You know, there are many parallels Watergate,” Schieffer explained. “But I have to tell you, I think all the way back to the Kennedy assassination, to draw parallels. I was there, as you know. I have always felt that if Lee Harvey Oswald had been put on trial, a lot of these conspiracy theories that are still circulating today would have been put at rest then. It is absolutely imperative that Donald Trump finds a way to reassure the American people that these questions about Russia are not true if that is his version. He’s got to lay it all out and find ways not just to tweet out every morning the news is being made up by the news media.”

Hey Bob we are not France where you are guilty and you must prove your innocence or even Mexico. As Comey has said he did not intend to commit a crime. Oh wait a minute that was Hillary.
Go back to sleep Bob.

Well, we could ask Lyin’ Bryan Williams for his insight. After all he rode in the back of the Lincoln in Dallas, between JFK and Jackie :/

Well Bob...

I think it is absolutely imperative that YOU find a way to reassure the American people that these questions about YOU colluding with aliens are not true if that is YOUR version.

See how that works?

We are not stupid BOB, you can’t PROVE a negative!

Really?? Who died in the Comey firing?

It can’t be journalism. Journalism died in the 2016 election.

Rush discusses the alcoholic Schieffer’s mumblings about Trump and Comey:

RUSH: Listen to Bob Schieffer here. You know, the Jurassic Park anchor from CBS? He used to be on Deface the Nation. He was on CBS This Morning. Gayle King (that’s Oprah’s BFF) said, “Hey, Bob, is it fair to compare Trump to Nixon?”

SCHIEFFER: There are many parallels, uh, to Watergate, but I have to tell you, I think all the way back to the, uh, Kennedy assassination to draw parallels. I was there, as you know. I have always felt if Lee Harvey Oswald had been put on trial, a lot of these conspiracy theories that are still circulating today would have been put at rest then.

It is absolutely imperative that Donald Trump find a way to reassure the American people that these questions about Russia are not true, if that is his version. He’s gotta lay it all out. He’s gotta show ’em some proof. He’s gotta give ’em some reason to believe that these things are not true.
RUSH: That’s not how it works, Bob! For crying out loud, we’re now gonna compare this to the Kennedy assassination and Oswald? Who’s on the grassy knoll in this story? The Russian ambassador? Who’s up there? That’s why our justice system is the way it is. You cannot prove a negative!

The accusers have to be the ones that prove it. Trump can’t prove anything! These clowns… How in the world can you have proof that you didn’t do something? That’s the whole point.
The accusers have to prove it!

And, by the way, Bob, even if there had been a trial, there would still be conspiracy theorists. You know why, Bob? Because Oswald was a commie pinko SOB, and you people in the Northeast were never gonna stand pat for a communist assassinating JFK.

You people were always gonna try to trigger this off on some wacko conservative group in Texas. In fact, I think that’s the birth of the modern era of the current crop of liberals. They could not abide the fact that a communist — they loved the communists back in ’59. A communist insulted their favorite president?

IIRC, Bob Skeletor is 78. That’s no excuse to be doing the senile old f*** shtick.

Ronald Reagan was nearing 78 when he left office and was not stricken with Alzheimer’s until years later.

Muh Russia! Trump is guilty!

Still every day, like Geraldo Rivera, these faux “reporters” open the vault to show us their proof, and their vault of facts is ...EMPTY

Thanks to: Steven Tyler for the above!

“You know, there are many parallels with the crucifiction of Christ!” Can anyone think of more “parallels?”
