    Nonsense, Comey was not a member of any investigation team. A Director who did that would be in court being cross examined every day. Read his job description.

    Not if Comey is incompetent and continuing the investigation without a shred of evidence. Comey has been destroying Trump's ability to deal with the Russians because of Comey's incompetence, not to mention Comey's inability to contain the politically motivated leaks within the FBI. .

    Weren't you just going on about truth telling. Here you are believing every unsubstantiated story the lying press puts out.

    Yes, the FBI under Comey did fail - often.

    Comey should have been fired years ago.

    Look at your link, it might as well be the National Enquirer. This is why you folks keep making something out of nothing. Try getting your news from a credible news outlet. They , like you are entitled to their own opinions but they are not entitled to their own facts. You keep jumping all over the little crumbs that they feed you, they'll say anything to sell their rag. Nothing WaPo or any other leftward media has trotted out has lasted more than a news cycle because there's nothing there. Only idiots still trust the MSM the rest of us are suffering fatigue from all of this Trump hate propaganda. You are shooting yourself in the foot, the very people you are trying to convince are so disgusted with this BS that they're more commited in their support for President Trump. Give a rest.

    I think you mean Majority Leader and Ryan might also be tainted. We might wind up with Orin Hatch.

    It will be if it happened so count on it. Don't you want to know if it is true or not?

    In what parallel universe?

    Rogers knows that the NSA has no evidence of a large amount of data that emerged from the DNC server and was transmitted over the internet.

    An internal leak is really the only possible explanation.

    In the Trump haters defense, the MSM has really gone off the rails since Trump announced. It will take a while for veteran MSM consumers to wean themselves from all the nonsense.

    Of course, the very unreliable election coverage should have been enough.

    That's a rather inconvenient little fact, isn't it?

    No, obstruction of justice is all over the liberal mainstream media. That's completely different than it being all over the Trump White House.

    Unnamed sources. Internal leaks. Nobody willing to take responsibility for any of this critically important information. Everybody should have a serious problem with this. I'd at least recommend approaching these reports with a healthy dose of skepticism.

    He fired the head of the FBI for acting improperly, thereby doing something that a good many on both sides of the aisle had said needed to be done. Any investigation(s) have continued on. And many here would appreciate a citation showing that the President said he fired Comey in order to stop an investigation. That would prove quite interesting, if you have such a thing. And if you don't, that too would be quite interesting.

    It should scare you more that the FBI listened to American citizens and then leaked incomplete information in an effort to de-legitimize our President, no matter who he/she happens to be. That should be the headlines in the left-wing politically biased news but they are just as deep into the democrat party as all you people. .

    Truth is good. The best way to find it is through grand jury investigations. So far there is only one - that I know of.

    what a crock. I guess you need to say SOMETHING to defend the Great Orange Gasbag but trying to pretend you don't know how an agency works really makes you look stupid or dishonest

    Trump repeatedly asked Comey if he was being investigated. Once even asking others to leave the room

    Trump admitted that he fired Comey because he wouldn't drop "the Russia thing".

    And now it comes out that he tried to get other intel agency heads to pressure Comey to drop the investigation.

    You people are pathetic in your defense of a criminal

    I am convinced that most of the Trump critics here are, like you, trying to discover the truth. The MSM, and the rest of the bipartisan political class that is at war with Trump have other agendas, but eventually the truth will out. It will probably not take much longer.

    Trump's problem with Comey and the Russian probe, is he was letting it drag on. And that was interfering with getting things done. At present the investigation is 10 months old, and they found ZERO collusion. Either get serious, and get it done, or admit it was all a witch hunt.
    But the big problem with Comey, is that the FBI should be non-partisan. What Comey did was be pro-Democrat, and thenpro-Republican, and then pro-Democrat again trying to be "fair". But being politically equal isn't his job. He should be politically blind.

    Oh, come off it. You know very well that the FBI Director is not an investigator. And if you don't Google it. No investigation will be impacted by Comey's firing. If they are you can count on your favorite Fake News sources to let you know - whether it has really happened or not.
    Isn't that great? ;-)

    And they already know there was not collusion. Even many of the Trump haters within the Deep State and the media have admitted it.

    “The latest official to throw cold water on the MSNBC-led circus is President Obama’s former acting CIA chief Michael Morell. What makes him particularly notable in this context is that Morell was one of Clinton’s most vocal CIA surrogates. In August, he not only endorsed Clinton in the pages of the New York Times but also became the first high official to explicitly accuse Trump of disloyalty, claiming, “In the intelligence business, we would say that Mr. Putin had recruited Mr. Trump as an unwitting agent of the Russian Federation.”

    But on Wednesday night, Morell appeared at an intelligence community forum to “cast doubt” on “allegations that members of the Trump campaign colluded with Russia.” “On the question of the Trump campaign conspiring with the Russians here, there is smoke, but there is no fire at all,” he said, adding, “There’s no little campfire, there’s no little candle, there’s no spark. And there’s a lot of people looking for it.” THE INTERCEPT, Key Democratic Officials Now Warning Base Not to Expect Evidence of Trump/Russia Collusion, Glenn Greenwald, March 16 2017.

    Kind of like the media giving Sally Yates a complete pass on the fact that she shared information with other agencies before the DOJ had the FBI case file in hand.

    Yates = Blackmail

    Are you kidding? Flynn was a paid agent of Turkey and Russia...and your claim is that warning the Trump admin of that fact is akin to blackmail?

    That's batshyt crazy

    If those sources were known to others but not offered to the public arena, yes.
    Just because you don't know who it is doesn't mean the investigators are as in the dark as you are.

    or at least a failed attempt to do so. Either way it's a criminal act.
