Unless you were living under a rock yesterday, then you likely know the important items in former FBI director James Comey’s testimony. There are many intelligent talking heads discussing the testimony and what it means so I won’t bore you with the analysis. However, I do want to point you to a very important issue that James Comey unequivocally stated – that Donald Trump is a liar.
I realize that the Donald Trump supporters among you will argue that it is a case of he said, she said and that you can’t believe what Comey has to say. It is the only spin Trump supporters have left in their arsenal to distract. James Comey has been criticized for many things but he has consistently been lauded for his ethics over many years.
During his testimony yesterday, Comey emphatically stated that he did not trust Donald Trump to honestly represent their meetings.
In other words, James Comey believes that Donald Trump is a liar.
Let that sink in for a moment, the then-FBI believed that he must document his meetings with Donald Trump because Comey believed Donald Trump would lie about their meetings. Not only that, but Comey felt it necessary to force an independent investigator by leaking his personal documents to the press because he did not believe that the Republican controlled Congress nor the Trump administration would properly investigate the Russian meddling of the elections.
The President of the United States is a liar, according to his then-FBI director. It is not the first time that Donald Trump has been called a liar. Most famously, another Republican, Ted Cruz called Donald Trump a “pathological liar” during the election.
The prestige of the Office of the President of the United States across the globe is based on the notion that the office holder is respected as well as epitomized for his honesty in his dealings with the country.
I guess that is what Donald Trump meant by making America great again; bringing dishonor to it across the globe. This leaves me wondering if Trump’s supporters really have any patriotism towards the United States.
Are you watching the hearings ? Your comments are completely out of synch. It’s not hear say or viewers opinions when you watch and hear the witness testifying.
Tin foil hat interfering with tv signal ?
Comey also said the press was publishing fake news stories, confirmed he told Trump he wasn’t under investigation three times and said his former boss Loretta Lynch made him queasy when she asked him to call the criminal investigation of Hillary a “matter” instead of an investigation. He also talked about how important it was to clear Hillary’s name because he felt there was nothing there. At the same time even though the president wasn’t under investigation, Comey found no evidence of collusion with the Trump campaign and believes Russia did not impact the outcome of the election and the Flynn investigation is only on the periphery of the Russia influence on the election investigation, Comey saw no reason to try to establish the same presumption of innocence for Trump. Sen. McCain pointed out the double standard. There are numerous ways for someone like Comey to report issues he feels are a violation of law that don’t involve leaking notes of privileged conversations to a friend to give to the media. I hope he is prosecuted to the full extent of the law. If you look at the full context of his conversation, he believes he is judge and jury which is an overreach of power. He is also a skilled political operative who deserved to be fired not for conducting the investigation but because of the leaky way it was conducted. And btw, his testimony also pointed out that Trump encouraged him to identify anyone in his administration who represented a risk.
Comey leaks and he walks. Reality Winner leaks and she is in jail. There’s justice for you!
The Dems are desparate to control the FBI to keep it away from the Clinton Foundation shakedown and the Seth Rich murder and where those crumbs lead into the Swamp.
Plain and simple Comey leaking to the press is at least a ethic violation and he losses any credibility to anything he says or views he has on Trump. When there is this level of leaks from government on such critical issues against one individual there is a credibility issue across the board with those agencies and arms of government who are allowing such leaks.
Now we have the Tit tards on the left and some in Congress wanting to impeach Trump many of who do not even understand the process. Some think they bring impeachment charges against Trump and he is automatically out of office but they are just plain stupid on that one.
The impeachment trail becomes a court of law not trail by the mob and the press. Trump will have the right to call witnesses, question his accusers, the right to suppress evidence that was gained unlawfully and unconstitutionally, and access to all material and evidence used against him in a trail . This is the last think the Washington belt way elites want and is will expose those who acted unlawfully and betrayed America and it wasn’t Trump.
If they are going to go after Trump for some unproven Russian connection then they have to do the same with Hillary , members of her staff and the Clinton foundation which as proven multiple deals and dealing with Russia and some which have direct connections to Putin.
Last thing we are stunned and shocked that none of the idiots in Congress asked Comey why the FBI never demanded direct investigatory access to the DNC servers and allowed a private third party with direct connection with the DNC and openly supporting Hillary to be the only ones who did the forensic analysis of the hack of the DNC servers which is where the crime took place. The is totally unheard of that such a crime is committed and the FBI is denied access to the crime scene by those who claimed a crime had been committed.
See we still believe the leaking of information wasn’t the Russian it was people within the DNC and good chance Hillary’s own staff.
