Comey says 'it sure looks like' Trump had criminal intent to commit obstruction of justice
CNN ^ | May 9, 2019 | Kate Sullivan

Former FBI Director James Comey said Thursday that "it sure looks like" President Donald Trump had criminal intent to commit obstruction of justice during special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation.

At a CNN town hall in Washington, Anderson Cooper asked Comey whether, based on the redacted version of Mueller's report on Russian interference in the 2016 election, he believed Trump had criminal intent to commit obstruction.

"It sure looks like he did, in connection with a couple episodes -- the direction to (former White House counsel) Don McGahn to get the special counsel fired is to my mind a flaming example" of criminal intent, Comey said.

Trump was an innocent man objecting to being railroaded by a creepy lowlife idiot like Comey and Brennan.\

And that what this little sh*t thinks is ‘obstruction’? Eff yourself James Comey...

Hillary actually did criminally obstruct justice, however, Comey wasn’t the least bit interested. Hope they both fry and spend eternity together.

To think that this guy was the head of the FBI. The planets premiere law enforcement agency. Morons like him leading it and the current one isn’t any better, BTW. And thousands of McCabe/Strzok/Page/Priestap Mini-Me’s still running around.

With over 16000 employees, the newest and most expensive equipment money can buy(GPNVG-18s @ close to $40k a piece), take home cars(most of which are not needed) and government credit cards, we deserve far better.

While he’s at it, he might explain why Comey was alleging obstruction of justice prior to the Mueller investigation.

I wonder what Comey would think if Trump had bleachbitted electronic records and destroyed multiple smartphones. No reasonable prosecutor would take notice, I’m sure.

"It sure looks like..."

Comey is a lawyer correct?

Very hard hitting legal words there...

Sorry, Comey,but you and your ilk are corrupt. Why not look into the corrupt doings of Obama and Hillary and other Dems? I know why you don’t, it is that you are a Socialist Globalist.

Apparently so - unless they ‘changed’ the rules.

When they were trying to impeach R Nixon there was a special prosecutor named Archibold Cox looking into the ‘problem’....President Nixon fired him...
I will ‘never’ forget watching a SYT driving around with a bumper sticker reading

“IMPEACH THE COX SACKER” (which is mild by todays standards but to see a SYT riding around -in the 70s -with that statement bordered on the risque)

After hearing of the debacle of the Barr Senate hearings and Comey etal apparently not having the common sense or decency to just slink away and hope we ‘forget’ them, now that NC fool issuing a subpoena on Trump Jr (without ‘politely’ informing the White House), I think they are ALL engaged in a massive ‘CYA’ tactic, thinking that if they get charged they have an out by claiming PDJT is going after them because they were ‘telling the truth’.

That idiot Pelosi, sitting there saying PDJT was ‘disrespecting’ the Congress has a person(?) on her ‘team’ that openly and loudly proclaimed ‘We are going to impeach the MF’er’-among other ‘threats’ and no one has sought to rein anyone in.

And it sure looks like Comey intended to commit treason and to collude with Hillary and other felonious mobsters...

They forgot the last part of the sentence.

James Comey said Thursday that “it sure looks like” President Donald Trump had criminal intent to commit obstruction of justice during special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation. It better be because they are going to jail me for a long time if not.
