Comey's Prepared Statement to Congress

[DarrinS]

I hope you give me your wallet.

Republican: Well, in that case because "hope" isn't really a compelling specific request, no thanks, I will be on my way...

BANG!!

No stretch there.

[RandomGuy]

No stretch there.

So when your boss comes in to your office, and says "I hope X happens" you ignore it?

[DarrinS]

But I can see where RG may have picked up such a ridiculous analogy

[RandomGuy]

GOP: "The word hope can never be used in any context where there is compulsion."

Sane People: (shows a case where the word hope can be used in a clearly compulsory way)

GOP: "what a stretch"

Really? That is what you are going with?

Pop quiz hotshot:

A gun to your head and the guy holding it says he "hopes you give him your wallet".

What do you do?

But I can see where RG may have picked up such a ridiculous analogy

The analogy occurred to me rather instantly. I saw/heard this after thinking of it, and thought it funny that I wasn't the only one who came to the same conclusion.

I don't know what kind of boss you have, but my boss never talks like that.

Mmmmm Kamala Harris is a sexy milf

My question was not "does your boss talks like this?"

My question was:

[DarrinS]

All of this led to a special counsel, engineered by Comey. So, in that regard, this is a political win for those that hate Trump.

That being said, the case for obstruction is flimsy, at best.

Yeah, she's pretty hot, tbh.

That word kinda sucks the urgency out of the request.

By the way, Comey ignored it. Must have felt super pressured.

[Pavlov]

Good to repost. Someone work hard on that.

[DarrinS]

The Comey statement suggests that one reason the President fired him was because of his refusal or failure to publicly announce that the FBI was not investigating Trump personally. Trump "repeatedly" told Comey to "get that fact out," and he did not.

If that is true, it is certainly not an obstruction of justice.

When I was appointed FBI Director in 2013, I understood that I served at the pleasure of the president. Even though I was appointed to a 10-year term, which Congress created in order to underscore the importance of the FBI being outside of politics and independent, I understood that I could be fired by a president for any reason or for no reason at all. And on May the ninth, when I learned that I had been fired, for that reason I immediately came home as a private citizen. But then the explanations, the shifting explanations, confused me and increasingly concerned me. They confused me because the president and I had had multiple conversations about my job, both before and after he took office, and he had repeatedly told me I was doing a great job, and he hoped I would stay. And I had repeatedly assured him that I did intend to stay and serve out the years of my term. He told me repeatedly that he had talked to lots of people about me, including our current Attorney General, and had learned that I was doing a great job, and that I was extremely well-liked by the FBI workforce.

BURR: Do you have any doubt that Russia attempted to interfere in the 2016 elections?

COMEY: None.

BURR: Do you have any doubt that the Russian government was behind the intrusions in the D triple C systems and the subsequent leaks of that information?

COMEY: No, no doubt.

BURR: Do you have any doubt the Russian government was behind the cyber intrusion in the state voter files?

COMEY: No.

[DarrinS]

What's the point of your last two posts?

[RandomGuy]

WARNER: ...

Now you've had extensive experience at the department of justice and at the FBI. You've worked under presidents of both parties. What was about that meeting that led you to determine that you needed to start putting down a written record?

COMEY: A combination of things. I think the cir stances, the subject matter, and the person I was interacting with. Cir stances, first, I was alone with the president of the United States, or the president-elect, soon to be president. The subject matter I was talking about matters that touch on the FBI's core responsibility, and that relate to the president, president-elect personally, and then the nature of the person. I was honestly concerned he might lie about the nature of our meeting so I thought it important to do ent. That combination of things I had never experienced before, but had led me to believe I got to write it down and write it down in a very detailed way.

An experienced prosecutor and head of the FBI thought it important to write down, and he thought it important because he thought Donald "Fraud University" Trump would lie about it.

I didn't ask whether you thought urgency was sucked out of the request.

I asked whether you would ignore it, a question you seem determined not to answer directly.

Why is that?

Hillary gonna run

I wouldn't ignore it, but Comey sure did. That pressure tho.

I am confused here.

Do you think the Director of the FBI should do things he thinks were inappropriate and/or illegal, like violate obstruction of justice statutes when asked?
