Harris is lame. But she is trying to pose as a presidential possibility.
Comey is a political hack. Thank God he’s gone.
she’s gotten more “I don’t...” (remember/recall/think/I have faulty memory) out of Comey than anyone else this morning
make a note of that I might have faulty memory thing. Freudian and all.
Yes. He admitted that language which originated from the Clinton campaign was the language Lynch told him to use.
Ugh. Glad I haven’t had lunch yet.
Comey is still stunned....He just said Sessions didn’t say anything but then starts giving his impressions on what he did not say....
Wow....What a farce!
‘Exactly. Look how hard the Dems are trying to make Comey likable today. Harris right now for example.’
Good point—but they will fail. Clinton has trashed Comey once too often for the Democrats to like him, and his popularity with Republicans is low and sinking lower by the minute. Not that I trust polls, but fwiw, Comey’s popularity is at ~whale excrement level. He wishes he could hurt Trump, but he’s impotent.
+1
I hope so.
oh, wait, she brought up ‘full independence’ again on the special prosecutor. Nasty Woman. (Rosenstein refused to agree yesterday to rewrite the agreement to take himself out of the Mueller loop).
What, so Comey claims he wrote a memo, but now he doesn't have his own memo? He should just call up the WaPo, perhaps he gave them a copy.
OMG he doesn’t KNOW whether he is legally obligated to report it??
After he was fired, he stated he turned over his memos to FBI Director Robert Mueller.
All he's doing is trying to inflict political damage, in a situation where he can't inflict legal damage. As such, his motivations are apparent for anyone to see, and his testimony is a big nothingburger—certainly nothing resembling the smoking gun which the Democrats, in their masturbatory frenzy, have been hoping for...
“Uh, hum, that’s a good question. Hmm, does an FBI agent have to legally report a crime???? Uhhhh, I dunno....”
Ronald McDonald would have made a better director.
Looking at what has been elected by them, the people of CA and NY worry me greatly.
Am at work, so would appreciate the 'take' on the hearings. Bombshells? Nothingburger? Thanks ahead of time.
This guys got the answer I think??
James Comey’s Latest Statement Is An Indictment Of Comey, Not Trump

The public impression that Trump was being criminally investigated, amplified by the president’s critics in the media, was effectively Comey’s get-out-of-jail-free card. The former FBI director likely assumed that no president would be crazy enough to fire a man whom the public believed to be investigating the president. Only a madman would fire that guy, right? Everyone in Washington knows how this game is played. They all know the tune by heart.
Unfortunately for Comey, Trump had no intention of playing that game and dancing that dance. What really happened is that Trump was wise to Comey’s con and finally had enough of it. He figured out what Comey was doing — deliberately refusing to correct a factually inaccurate impression of the FBI’s ongoing investigation as a means of protecting his job — and called his bluff.
Comey’s own words reveal in lurid detail the game he was playing. They reveal that Trump’s claims about the investigation, and his claims about Comey’s characterization of the investigation, were completely accurate. They reveal that Comey was giving one impression to the president and Congress in private and deliberately allowing an entirely different one to gain currency in public. Comey’s mistake wasn’t in thinking the Beltway two-step was the best way to keep his job. His mistake was assuming that Trump wouldn’t dare to stop dancing.
