Comey's Prepared Statement to Congress

[Pavlov]

So, Comey perjured himself?

Necessarily not.

[djohn2oo8]

Dumbass Trump. Mueller will eat him alive.

[RandomGuy]

I wouldn't ignore [my boss saying he "hopes" something happens], but Comey sure did. That pressure tho.

You wouldn't ignore it.

Why?

[Spurminator]

Based on Comey's prepared statement, he brought up Flynn once.

He brought up "lifting the cloud" numerous times.

Which does it seem bothered him more?

Why does it matter which one bothered him more? It's not an all or nothing proposition.

- "Promises, promises."

You wouldn't ignore it.

Why?

Darrin wouldn't ignore it because if he got fired it would actually have a negative affect on him.

Comey's worst case scenario was getting fired by a President he already knew was corrupt and probably would go down as the worst person to ever occupy the office. So, basically, he could pick that side and go along with it, or be the hero and sign a massive book deal within a year. Why wouldn't he ignore it?

This seems to be one of your stock responses.

[DarrinS]

But that's ok. Obama's AG was semen shielding for Hillary.

You roasted me. Well done.

[Reck]

You roasted me. Well done.

You sort of did that to yourself, no? You got pretty triggered.

^ugh, special olympics

Where we are today:

* No collusion, except between DNC, MSM, Obama's AG, and Hillary campaign

* No obstruction -- POTUS can shut down an investigation or pardon. He did neither.

* MSM has been feeding a false conspiracy narrative for months -- collusion narrative collapses

* Comey leaked to engineer the appointment of a special counsel -- special FU parting gift for Trump

Big point that was missed yesterday that Comey believed Pence was aware about Flynn and Russia.

So the premise of my friend Alan Dershowitz’s argument is wrong: the President does not have unfettered cons utional power to decide whether to shut down criminal investigations of his top aides for any reason. As the Supreme Court concluded, “we simply do not see how” it is “so central to the functioning of the Executive Branch as to require as a matter of cons utional law that” the President be understood to have unlimited control over the investigation and prosecution of potential crimes involving himself or his top aides. Given the established cons utional principle that Congress can protect a federal prosecutor from the President’s domination in these type of cases, Congress can certainly constrain the President’s power in more limited ways—to protect the integrity of these very investigative and prosecutorial processes—including by making it a crime for the President to act with a corrupt intent to stymie or shut down investigations of the President himself and his top aides.

Interesting and thank you for that. Much better than some youtube by Toobin.

Will be interesting to here Dershowitz response and I'm guessing now he'll just fall back to Trump could have just pardoned him.
