Comey transcript of closed-door interview with House committee released

He should be. They worked for him. He should at least have an opinion. I think Gowdy is just asking him for his opinion as to their frame of mind and if that is the kind of frame of mind that an investigator in a high level of the FBI should have while investigating the person that they are texting about.

 

Page 106.

 

He was fired. It wasn't his job to read them and he wasn't reading some alt right wing site's review of them.

 

Because of how investigations work, it's always best to lie and say you don't recall or have no recollection at this point in time or that you don't understand.

In the course of any innocent person talking under oath, if they do so for long enough, they'll commit a felony. It's only a matter of time.

 

you think it was only Fox news that reported on Stzoks and Pages texts it has even been reported by CNN and MSNBC ? have you been living in a cave with Comey?
it always has buffered me that people like your self so uninformed will participate in political forums
get informed this way you can join in on the conversation with out looking like a fool or do you enjoy the humiliation

 

Would you be referring to the protection of Hillary from the Justice department like Lynch secret meeting with her husband on the tarmac to exchange information or maybe Comey going outside his legal purview and not recommending charges for Hillary as that isn't his job. His job is to report evidence to the DOJ not to make conclusions on prosecuting federal cases.

Or maybe you are refereeing to members of the House Judiciary Committee and the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee were unable to get satisfactory answers from Comey regarding his illegal actions and violations of longstanding FBI and Justice Department regulations and procedures.

Or maybe you are reflecting on the Comey, Strzok, Page, and 25 other FBI federal officers being fired or demoted for extreme bias. Or maybe Lynches testimony where she was observed as not cooperating with the committee and wouldn't even answer a question about speeding being against the law.

This is your idea of adults being in charge?

Now that the bias Hillary protectors are no longer in charge and we finally have a real AG not afraid to execute his oath of office ( Whitaker serving as Acting Attorney General) we have U.S. District Court Judge Royce Lamberth ordering additional fact-finding into whether Clinton’s use of the private email system was a deliberate effort to thwart the Freedom of Information Act and that lawyers at the Justice Department and the State Department misled the court, now we are going to find out what really happened.

 

Another RW lie flushed lmao

 

The reason they 'knew' he lied, was because they already recorded the conversation he had with the Russian Ambassador. And the reason Yates went ballistic was in her moment of insubordination, this was an area she and others could use against the administration(while pretending to care for it.)

I mean, this whole two year episode has been hilarious to watch. An act of political revenge, covered up in the sense of 'justice' that's fooling absolutely no one. And in that meeting, Comey basically cried out "People should believe we stand for integrtity!"(verbatim of his words.,)

Well, to believe that you'd actually have to stand for it.

 

Still ignoring that he lied lmao
As if someone made him! Lol
You still won’t ask WHY he’d lie! He had to know we spy on Russian diplomats, look at his resume!

 

No one would know that, we're not in his mind. One rumored possibility is that Flynn didn't want to contradict VP Pence and therefore said what he said. It isn't about "someone making him", it's about a spur-of-the-moment interview(and while they'll deny it, the obvious political implications are there for all of us to acknowledge.) so as to continue to hamper the current administration.

Which, they've done a remarkable job of. Look, we're still talking about it as we approach the end of the second year, and the third year begs to be more of the same. Will you as a citizen have any domestic benefits from this? Of course not, but the clowns have long forgotten their job. Getting Trump is all that matters.

 

And Comey gave the logical answer that he likely would have taken them off the case, after hearing their explanation. However, Gowdy is NOT entitled to Comey's opinion after the fact for things he didn't write or say...

SNIP - Page 20
And although I have seen no evidence of any bias in any of the participants in that effort, the appearance of bias would have been very important to me. So I -- again, it's hard to go back and live a life you didn't live, but I would imagine my judgment would have been you can't remain on the case.
ENDSNIP

Comey isn't coming off like the greatest director in FBI history (Like say Robert Mueller), but he handles himself well... I'm' on page 116 and they haven't laid a glove on him. FBI texts, Russia Investigation, Tarmac Meeting, Steele... Zippy

 

I thought that was blown last year?? Well, it was for me, anyway.... Good catch

 

Only if you parse his response to a ridiculous level. When you've never been to someone's home, and you've had dinner with them exactly once, they're hardly your best friend.

But Trumpsters are so desperate to keep this idiotic meme alive, that there isn't much they won't parse!

 

Strzok's text said Hillary SHOULD win, not WILL win.... 2 different things.... Stating he thought she was a better candidate for president, which she was...

He is not required to state what he thought Strzok meant by his text..... period.

 

I was just joking that Comey didn't actually say whether he hugged and kissed Mueller, just some crack about his wife...

It's obvious the 2 are intending to make it obvious that Trump's statement was ridiculous, like the man himself...

 

These are smart answers from Comey and what I would expect.

 

If using Sodium Pentothal were legal, the entire Deep State and 75% of Obama's Administration would be locked up.

 

How is that a reason for her not being in jail? Republicans have controlled everything for 2 years: Presidency, both houses of Congress, the Supreme Court and scores of U.S. attorneys appointed by Trump. So if this is such a "open and shut" case, why is she not in jail?

She hasn't even been charged! How is that possible?

 

Lynch? Are you talking about Loretta Lynch? She hasn't been Attorney General for nearly 2 years!

Talk about being misinformed.

As for the rest, if Hillary and those you mention, did all those horrible things, how is it possible that Republicans, with control of the House, the Senate, the Presidency, the Supreme Court and scores of U.S. Attorneys... have not put any of them in jail?

You must be enraged at the incompetence of the Trump administration and eager to vote them out of power, aren't you?

 

I wouldn't say zippy, we've learned that as director, Comey essentially relegated the FBI duties to his 'team'(insubordinates) and he sat back himself. Not the worst thing in the world, but then we learn that as a result he never really applied much of any oversight to his team and we can see how the things that've transpired, came to be transpired.

Comey's relative ineffectiveness(or lack of desire) as head of the FBI is a nice little tidbit for the defense on obstruction. If anything, obstructing the investigation would've been to keep the ineffective director on board as FBI director.

 

Its hard to stay on point if you are going to purposely ignore the information I provided in my previous post but, that is what you do. Consistently. And just like your lack of response to Reality's post, when you get cornered you abandon the conversation.

Since you can't keep up on current events or have decided to abandon them as well, heres a few highlights. Sessions is out, Whitaker is in, a Federal judge has ordered an accounting by Clinton to provide information about her server, emails, and deliberate destruction of subpoenaed evidence. Comey, Lynch, and Strzok are not there to run interference and Whitaker wants answers. Now that we are in control we are going to get to the guts of it.

Hows that for a party in control?

 

Yippee! Hope they succeed. I've never been a Hillary fan. I voted for her but... not with the greatest enthusiasm. If she broke the law, she should be in jail. Unfortunately, given the history of Republicans vs Hillary, I can't be too optimistic. They have failed for 25 years. And and if they try it now that she has no political aspirations, I think there's a much better chance that she would win a lawsuit for infringing of her 4th and 5th amendment rights, than of them getting her anywhere near a criminal court. Even I have lately begun to doubt that she did something illegal.

Not very reassuring but... good luck! Hope the 87th time is the charm!

 

The Republicans also desperately failed about on the

Your insults only reveal your own shortcomings. Why does a committee need the opinion of a former director based on a hypothetical knowledge of some text messages? Does this serve the US in any real way?

 

That would be a horrible defense strategy. Ridiculous in fact.

 

How so? The intent of the law is anyone who endeavors to impede or obstruct the investigation. Given Comey's now-known incompetence via his answers a couple of days ago, I'd say if I wanted to obstruct, the useful idiot(who refused to properly brief me on Jan.27th, 2017 when the dossier was given to Buzzfeed) would still remain FBI director.
