That is such a great song with a great life lesson!

Yeah, but by the time you're old enough to appreciate its wisdom, it's too late to take advantage of it.

Not the line "every hand's a winner, and every hand's a loser."

Reminds me of Kipling's line from his great poem If:

If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same...

Basically the same point, but expressed in a more direct, American voice.

I think Libs really believe that Comey will say something that will lead directly to the impeachment—if not immediate arrest—of Trump.

Those kinds of tweets would be fine.

And would be a great troll.

But he absolutely should not tweet anything about Comey without vetting it.

He is not a lawyer.

He is very likely still not familiar with all the legal ramifications of govt....Heck..alot of lawyers arent even familiar with all the ramifications.

All lawyers should be telling him those tweets need to be vetted. Any lawyer telling him it is fine to be tweeting willy nilly about every kind of topic out there should be fired.

This. Disgusted that there is a “game” in the first place. At least my President knows how to hold and fold at the right times.

Comey will be working from the script provided by the Clintons

The best strategy is to remain silent and let the msm go nuts trying to figure out what he is doing. Hopefully, he’s just getting the old White House ready for Melanie and Barron to move in and isn’t worrying about the sore losers plotting their revenge.

This slime Comey is dragging this country into the ground. Why is it so difficult to get ANYBODY in or formally in government to ever tell the truth? Is the rule of law, honor, truth and justice really dead? Will someone please wake up AG Sessions? All I heard was “swamp draining” during the election and yet the DOJ and all of our “intelligence” agencies are still run mostly by Obama entrenched traitors who will do everything to hurt our president and country.

EXCLUSIVE: Thn-Pres Obama Never Warned State Election Officials Of Russian Election ‘Hacking’
DCNF ^ | June 7, 2017 | Richard Pollock / FR Posted by upchuck

Neither former President Barack Obama nor any member of his cabinet warned state election officials of any Russian effort to hack or interfere with the country’s electoral systems, according to the president of the National Association of Secretaries of State. “We did ask,” Denise Merrill, Connecticut secretary of state and the association’s top official, told The Daily Caller News Foundation’s Investigative Group Wednesday.

“And over-and-over again, they did say there was no credible threat that they had found. And they said that right through the election, and the next administration reiterated that. Over and over again when we asked, we were told there was no actual threat that they knew of,” Merrill said.

Asked if there were any private briefings for state election officials on possible Russian interference prior to the November 2016 voting, Merrill said, “No. We were not briefed on any of that. We were not told in advance.”

Merrill also claimed the Obama administration failed to take state officials aside about a potential or real Russian threat to election machinery.

“That’s right, because I don’t really think there was one,” she said.

REFERENCE How a dubious Russian document influenced the FBI’s handling of the Clinton probe
Washington Post ^ | May 24 / fr Posted by navysealdad

In the midst of the 2016 presidential primary season, the FBI received a purported Russian intelligence document describing a tacit understanding between the campaign of Hillary Clinton and the Justice Department over the inquiry into whether she intentionally revealed classified information through her use of a private email server.

The Russian document mentioned a supposed email describing how then-Attorney General Loretta E. Lynch had privately assured someone in the Clinton campaign that the email investigation would not push too deeply into the matter. (Washington Post excerpt---rest on FR.)

I hope the President's lawyers noticed where Comey admitted neither he nor The FIB ever physically analyzed the DNC or DCCC computer hardware that was supposedly hacked.

His conclusions are based on hearsay.

Comey is CYA mode...and only his mode...

If you remember the ‘watergate’ story, the Dems are following it to a tea:

“Comey’s answer to Di-Fi he said that in his office his people were as stunned as he was because the “President asked him to clear up this cloud that hangs over what he wanted to do in his agenda”

This is almost word for word what Nixon said about ‘watergate’...

Don't trust the RINOs on this panel anymore than the Dems...they are out to hang Our President...

Why is it so difficult to get ANYBODY in or formally in government to ever tell the truth?

It will take a while for you really to believe the obvious but the reason "they" have to lie is that the truth is FAR WORSE than any "sane" person would ever believe.

When the MSM and gov't told you a bullet does not transfer momentum to a target, you believed them.

When the MSM and gov't told you a center fuel tank explosion can make an airplane go UP and that MANY witnesses didn't see what they saw. you gave them the benefit of the doubt and moved on for the next lie to be told.

When an FBI Director told you that he could find no evidence that a Secretary of State did not purposely use a private email server to violate the law and is therefore NOT guilty of violating laws, you started to doubt their "stories."

SOME of these stories you have been entertained by the last few decades are not mysteries, they are lies. WARNING: Don't believe any story is a lie until you see PROOF that they are lying. The proof is there, all you have to do is bounce the truth against what you are told by the gubermnint and the presstitutes against the information that says "they" are lying

Welcome to 1984 EXPOSED while President Trump drains the swamp.

You can kNOW the truth IF and ONLY IF you stop letting the gubermint and the presstitutes tell you what to think.

I thought Susan Collins did a good job of getting Comey to admit there was no investigation of the President of any kind, not just of a counter intelligence nature.
