    Comey never testified to a lack of obstruction.

    That would still be leaking the contents of a confidential investigation.

    Very few people believe that Trump actually fired Comey because he was too harsh on Clinton. Especially in light of the fact that Donald Trump explicitly said he was thinking about the "russian thing" when he made the decision to fire Comey.

    here is the full statement no cut off


    He said that if there was “some satellite” (NOTE: I took this to mean some associate of his or of his campaign) that did something, it would be good to find that out, but that he hadn’t done anything, and hoped I would find a way to get out that we weren’t investigating him.

    see the period at the end meaning the end of the statement don't know were in the hell did you get "cloud" from

    Comey was fired because he was in way over his head. He was unfit for the job. He never should have been promoted into management.

    He wasn't fired because he was cruel to Hillary and he wasn't fired in an attempt to obstruct justice.

    But you have called him a liar, almost daily here. ha ha. So, using your own arguments, he lied when he said that. Can you tell when he is lying or not lying? On this issue, you don't know and no one does, except perhaps trump.

    From observing trump, personally, it seems he will lie to russians, per this issue, in order to get on their good side, as a way to use later on to negotiate with them, to work up a deal. That makes sense, given what trump is. You don't always insult or act aggressive, out of line, with nations like russia if you want to try to get concessions from them at some point. So trump may have lied to russians about comey, and why he fired him, as a tactic. It is possible.

    But back to my original point. If you have to say trump lies all of the time, and then pick your lies and pick your truth based upon your own dislike and partisanship, or so it appears to me...well...having read many of your posts in regards to trump and his lying. Just saying...

    What I can prove is that Trump said he was thinking about that Russian thing when he decided to fire James Comey.

    Come on.

    Oh I understand that there is a conundrum when he comes to believing Trump. It is why he is a master of the use of the firehose logical argumentative strategy of just lying so many times that your opponent wastes all of their time trying to correct your fallacies and lies.

    Which is why I also use context and my understanding of Trump as a person to discern the most likely truth. The notion that Trump fired Comey because he was too harsh on Clinton strains the credibility of the argument given that he previously praised Comey - on multiple occasions - for his handling of the Clinton investigation; however, the notion that Trump would fire Comey because he thought it would make the Russia investigation go faster or because he was unhappy with how Comey was handling the Russia investigation makes a great deal more sense considering all the times that Trump has railed against the Russia investigation.

    Yes. Now the clown he engaged in this criminal conspiracy says he was Comey's "Lawyer" but that doesn't help!

    I once railed against a speeding ticket where I had the company car on cruise control, and had been warned by a co worker, another dist. mgr, that Hwy 49 in south ms. was not the hiway to speed on. So I set the cruise at 5 MPH under the listed speed limit, and got pulled over and a ticket was written. So, innocent people, some of them will rail against an accusation, when they know they are innocent. I sure did. I still had to pay the ticket. ha ha. But it was wrong.

    Personally I think trump fired comey because he did not like the man. This would be behavior typical of trump, IMO. He operates from the gut and not so much from the intellect. He probably had several reason he disliked comey. Some superficial and petty. Just my opinion.

    No, but one million documents to Mueller's team is an almost impossible hurdle for obstruction of justice. You can't tell me(as a jury member or as a judge) that this man obstructed or impeded or attempted to do so to your investigation, yet that same man gave you a million documents of which you would use to prosecute.

    It's one or the other. Either he obstructed you, or he didn't.

    Booming economy
    Draconian federal regulations repealed
    Peace in Korea
    China backing off protectionist measures
    Discouraging the use of chemical weapons
    Appointing Constitution-loving judges

    I think he's doing better than Clinton, Bush, or Obama.

    And securing our nation from a nuclear regime, all without launching a button. He's been quite the surprise in a good way as CIC. He'd be even better if the renegades here became Americans.

    Now you're just making stuff up. Show a single place where Trump even suggested that Comey not investigate himself. It was Comey that more than once told Trump that he wasn't under investigation.

    One could make the argument that directing Comey to his associates while saying that Trump did nothing wrong is a suggesting to not investigate him personally.

    Wow, you really had to pretzel to come up with that one. Trump was told more than once that he wasn't under investigation. He encouraged the investigation of others. It takes a huge imagination to believe that encouraging the investigation of others close to oneself would somehow distract from investigating oneself.
