Comey is a drama queen hack. Gee, “loyalty” might mean not leaking every meeting to the press? Did he make memos of his meetings with Lynch, who obviously was compromised?

First time Comey told Trump he was not under investigation:

In that context, prior to the January 6 meeting, I discussed with the FBI’s
leadership team whether I should be prepared to assure

President-Elect Trump that
we were not investigating him personally. That was true; we did not have an open
counter-intelligence case on him. We agreed I should do so if circumstances
warranted. During our one-on-one meeting at Trump Tower, based on PresidentElect
Trump’s reaction to the briefing and without him directly asking the
question, I offered that assurance.

Context is everything, Comey and others were spying on Trump and desperately working to justify themselves.

I would hasten to say that Trump expected, just that, “honest loyalty,” at least as much as he gave to the Clintons.

I don’t see this as being anything other than a first meeting. How can this possibly be misconstrued as an impeachable offense.

Was there anyone else in the room?

Ok, the second point. Honest loyalty would mean telling the president that he’s under investigation for collusion with the Russians if he is, and he’s not if he’s not.

So, did Comey say that the president was or was not under investigation for collusion?

Bottom line, I wouldn’t trust this guy further than I could throw him.

“The DOJ and the FBI answer to the president. If there is an arms length of distance between them, then what authority fills that gap?”

A security bureaucracy above all else in the government is the mark of authoritarian regimes. This was the hallmark of the NKVD, the Stasi, the Gestapo, etc.
Comey was in a state of treason and insurrection.

He is a national embarrassment and doesn’t even know it. But like the Stasi, Gestapo, and NKVD...every such agency’s day is coming. They all fall, they all get collapsed. The sunshine will fall hard on them. I hope Trump disbands them.
It’s obvious that the danger from terrorism pales in comparison to the danger from our “protective” formations.

He has a one on one conversation, supposed to be in confidence, nothing obviously untoward, and his reaction is to blab to others in his professional orbit. And to write a memo. And only for Trump. Not loyal. Building a case. Trump was under criminal investigation in all but the filing formalities.

This is strange. First he claims he created a written record of every conversation:

Creating written records immediately after one-on-one conversations with Mr. Trump was my practice from that point forward

Then a few sentences later he says the following

I can recall nine one-on-one conversations with President Trump in four months – three in person and six on the phone.

Why does he need to "recall" conversations he wrote down?

I didn’t see that. Does he say he told him that?

Stock market shoots up after lagging all day.

Headline mocks that Comey’s testimony reads like a romance novel.

He proves Trump saying he was told 3 times!

Nutjob!

Without the Russian “explanation”, Obama was using the tools of government to spy on Trump. They are in a panic because Hillary was supposed to win and bury this forever.

They were cockroaches out in the kitchen when suddenly the light came on. Time for the D-con spray.

Comey felt compelled to start keeping memo’s only because he realized he was now working for someone who was going to hold him ACCOUNTABLE for his actions. Purely CYA.

This is like the “No! No! No! Yes! Yes! Yes!” scene in “Singing in the Rain,” when Gene Kelly and the diva prima donna have a voice mixup in the sound recording.

“I just read most of it — nothing there.”

You are correct.

But...

The msm will collectively agree on some small minutiae of nothingness which they can grab on and run hard.

Watch.

Collectively all the #FAKENEWS creators will run with almost exact headlines over some identical small minutiae of nothingness.

And for every WH Press Briefing the question will come up to Spicer, over and over. And for every WH administration official that goes on CNN or similar purveyor of #FAKENEWS, they will asked the same question over and over.

msm #FAKEAMERICANS

Second time Comey told Trump he wasn't being investigated:

He said he was considering ordering me to investigate the alleged incident to prove it didn’t happen. I replied that he should give that careful thought because it might create a narrative that we were investigating him personally, which we weren’t,

He was compelled to suddenly take noted because he was no longer working for his fellow travelers. Now he was working for someone he didn’t have long shady associations with.

The #1 takeaway from Comey's opening statement is that he did IN FACT tell President Trump three times that he (Trump) was not under investigation by the FBI.

Question: Where's the Comey Memo? Anyone seen it yet?

I have been (and currently am) a CEO for several companies. It is my standard practice, upon taking over, to gather the senior management team and spell out expectations. One of those is loyalty. If anyone has a problem carrying out my agenda (as has been approved by the Board of Directors - or in Trump’s case, the voters), then let’s hear it now so we can shake hands and part ways.
