    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?

    -

    I think it depends on the nature of the investigation into Flynn. Is it a violation of section 1001? If so, DOJ has la ude on how rigorously they pursue that. Violation of Logan Act? Good luck with that.

    Keep in mind that Comey basically said that Flynn wasn't central to the Russia investigation.

    I wouldn't ignore it, but Comey sure did. That pressure tho.
    Sure and then he was fired. This should not be hard. Obtuseness fits you well.

    Oh good, we're supposed to accept the word of a guy who claimed he had the most electoral votes since Reagan and that Hillary Clinton co-founded ISIS.

    Ok, raise your hand if you think Comey was fired over Flynn.


    Trump cares WAAAY more about Trump than one of his employees. It's far more likely that Comey was fired for not clearing Trump, after he was asked to do so several times.

    Also claimed that a US general rounded up 50 Muslims, shot 49 of them with bullets dipped in pig blood, and let the last one go to tell all his other friends what happened

    (Raises hand)

    You're presenting a false dichotomy. It could easily be, and probably was, both. Comey's refusal to drop the Flynn case was an act of disloyal defiance against Trump. So it was still a selfish act... he wasn't sticking up for an employee, he was reacting to disloyalty on multiple issues.

    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?

    All or nothing now? It's simple and also fits you well.

    He shouldn't be telling someone who is investigating his administration what to do anyway.

    Very polite and lawyerly way of telling Reck he's grasping at straws
    Are you stupid or failed to read the thing?

    The case trumpies are making is that the word "hope" makes Trump obstruction free which isn't the case. The investigation doesn't hang on this word alone as TSA and others are suggesting. Mueller is not suddenly going to go well Trump said he hoped so there's no case here.

    a blog using the top post of the Trump subreddit as proof is TSA level stupidity.

    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.
    How can you say the case is flimsy when Comey couldn't reveal everything publicly?

    Because Darrin is obtuse intentionally or otherwise.

    Ooh, the closed-door session. After the last one, Feinstein and Grassley both basically indicated that Trump wasn't under investigation. Even though Comey wouldn't say that in open hearing.

    RNC's false talking point about Comey came from “alt-right” trolls

    Lie that Comey said Trump didn't pressure him on Russia-related investigations came from an “alt-right” troll and then was picked up by fake news purveyors

    Responding to the testimony, the RNC tweeted, “#BigLeagueTruth:

    Comey testified under oath that @POTUS never asked him or anyone else to end any investigation. #ComeyHearing.”

    The tweet included a video of Comey’s previous testimony before the Senate intelligence committee -- on May 3 -- in which Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-HI) asked him if “the attorney general or senior officials at the Department of Justice” tried to block an FBI investigation,

    to which Comey replied, “Not in my experience.”


    Contrary to the RNC’s implication, Comey did not contradict himself. On May 3,

    he was talking specifically about the Department of Justice, not the president.
