How the heck do they do it, Comey and Schiff? Each can deliver a string of half-truths, contradictions, outlandish obfuscations, distortions, misrepresentations, and even preposterously self-serving whoppers in a way – and here's the monkey trick – that makes him seem, on balance, and taken as a whole...reasonable.
Anderson Cooper dinged Comey pretty hard, and then Brett Baier absolutely hammered him, but if you don't know the underlying facts, the contradictory things previously said; if you don't know the history of vicious predation; if you don't realize that the narrative is rife with holes and implausibilities; in short, if you are not paying very close attention, it all comes off as a guy reading off the latest baseball statistics or offering a favorite recipe for shrimp and grits – what sounds remarkably like the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, but which is fully, completely, shrewdly exsanguinated. There is no blood, no guts, no there. A recitative... It's as if, rather than being a participant in the events under discussion, they are reviewing a movie, each a dispassionate critic passing aesthetic rather than moral judgment from the vantage point of a merely observing (and therefore unaccountable) audience member.
Weirdly, it seems to work: they come off as reasonable guys, giving reasonable answers in good faith and with innocent intention. Somehow, the fact that none of it hangs together and all of it is self-serving fails to register. As such, they get a pass.

COMEY LIES TO PROTECT HILLARY——Comey told Congress that Putin hated Hillary Clinton, he wanted to do her harm, ...............
(SNORT) Mueller and the corrupt FBI crowd see a KGB agent behind every filing cabinet in Trumps White House but are aggressively apathetic about Hillary and Bill Clintons policies, decisions, and actions that gave aid and comfort to Russia.
Hillarys much-mocked Russian reset established the tone for the Clintons coziness with the Kremlin. On March 6, 2009, during a trip to Geneva, she presented Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov a small, red button. Hillary thought it was emblazoned with the Russian word for reset. Her team mistranslated and the button actually read overload. Nonetheless, Clinton and Lavrov jointly pressed the symbolic button. And a new era in U.S.Russian relations erupted.
While visiting Moscow on March 24, 2010, Secy Hillary explained the Resets purpose: Our goal (meaning Obama) is to help strengthen Russia.
Comey committed perjury in his Congressional testimony because Comey told congressional oversight members multiple times that he was out of the loop of the day to day aspects of the investigation and was therefore uninformed about the details of the case and unable to reply to many questions
As Obama’s FBI Director, Comey didnt touch:
<><> Bill Clinton and Loretta Lynch on the tarmac,
<><> IRS and Lois Lerner,
<><> Eric Holder and Obamas Fast and Furious,
<><> Hillary and Benghazi,
<><> Susan Rices Benghazi lies, <><> The Clinton Foundation ad infinitum,
<><> The Clintons Uranium 1 Deal,
<><> Hillarys private server,
<><> Susan Rices Unmasking,
<><> John Podestas Russian deals,
<><> Huma and Cheryl Mills self-serving activities at State.
<><> The missing $6 billion at Hillarys State Dept,
<><> Humas cousin pigging out at the State Dept trough,
<><> Sid Blumenthals haul from the State Dept,
<><>Amb Joe Wilson (Valerie Plames hubby) helping himself to the State Dept cookie jar,
<><> Obamas Foundation looting State of $100 million to teach Muslim girls in Morocco,
<><> Secy Hillarys Millenium Challenge Corp slush fund.
<><> Obama and Hillary’s Third World mentality-— using the govt apparat against American citizens
Comey, Schiff, and Marie Harff are masters of obfuscation.
Kilmead sniffs her butt when Harff is on, and lets her get away with it. He’s not smart enough to dissect her half truths kn the spot.
I turn it off. Saves blood pressure.
The monkey trick only works for pathological liars. If there is any semblance of genuine conscience it falls flat.
Adam schiff needs to be aggessively investigated for leaks.
I guess I missed the ‘monkey trick’ reference....what is it? Flinging poo?
Debate class................
It’s the way they do it. It’s their mannerisms. They’ve perfected them over a lifetime of getting feedback from the people that they are trying to deceive.
You will notice when you watch an interview of someone like Comey, they will generally look pensive and thoughtful. Not too aggressive and not too assuming. They sound like they are informed. They want you to think they are an expert on whatever they speak on, but not like some presumptuous know-it-all. They are not meek or timid, but they definitely know not how to move the need on people who are used to blowback and defiance from an interviewee.
They (Comey, Rosenstein, Sessions, etc) come off as someone who has been previously hypnotized and programmed with a script to recite after awakening from the hypnosis.
Did I hear that Harff-wit was getting a new chow on Fox ?
Comey looks like a lying weasel and he knows he’s lying.
I think both those guys could pass lie detector tests.
“Comey looks like a lying weasel and he knows hes lying.”

If you are looking, you can see the smugness.
But you have to be looking.
It’s all about your personal motivation.
A liberal host asking questions, and a liberal audience, they have different motivations. They are not searching his face. They see a sympathetic character on their side of an information war. They are searching is words. They are looking for those gems to fall on their ears that play to their hatred of Trump. Everything else is noise to ignore.
It’s called bold face lying with a straight face.
Discernment plays a part in this.
Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, James Comey, and plenty of others — some people see them and think:
“He’s brilliant. And so authentic. You can tell he’s sincere. That’s someone who should be in charge of everything, because he obviously knows everything and will look out for our best interests.”
And of course others think:
“What a snake. I knew it the moment I laid eyes on him. The guy is a grifter and he’s just out for himself. I wouldn’t trust him to take out the trash.”
The “D” party base, the democrat voters like to be lied to. They like hearing their masters lie boldly. That’s why such dead souls keep getting elected to power.
Yeah, she’s on kilmead now. I turned it off.
She’s doing a Radio show with Guy Benson, as reported on Fox and Friends.
Rush refers to him as Pencil neck
He lets her get away with it because he’s probably smitten.
