    This has nothing whatsoever to do with Clinton.

    Everything FACTUAL hurts the Incompetent-in-Chief.

    The FBI deals in facts, not rhetoric, and in that regard Comey's testimony will be factual, just as it was when he testified about Clinton. There was insufficient factual evidence to charge her with wrongdoing which is why he didn't.

    When it comes to Trump, Comey will be equally factual. We don't know all the facts yet so we just have to wait and see what facts Comey provides.

    B.S. Comey went outside his job description in order to shield Lynch who the Clintons compromised with the meeting on the tarmac. Pretending Clinton is an innocent victim is ludicrous. Comey screwed himself and the Clintons walk away without a scratch.

    Your ludicrous strawman is farcical! :roflol:

    There was nothing factual about the meeting on the tarmac that rose to the level of an offense that could be prosecuted. It was bad optics but there was nothing about it that amounted to hard evidence of wrongdoing that would stand up in court.

    Comey deals with factual evidence that can be proven in court. That was his job before your "god-emperor" fired him.

    Hmm is it me, or are the people that distrust Comey avoiding this poll? I've seen more vocal people against Comey that have yet to share their cents.

    I have yet to see an argument why Comey can't be trusted? Other than some people hinting he might be a traitor.

    Exactly---but who would know what notes Comey took and kept, vs took and destroyed?

    On an island there are two tribes where the members always tell the truth and the other tribe where members always tell a lie. The first tribe is called the Truth-Tellers Tribe and the second is called the Liar Tribe.

    The former Director of the FBI has an unblemished record of telling the truth under oath where he can actually document most or all of what he's willing to testify to with evidence and records stored by the FBI and where his statements can be collaborated by other witnesses in many cases. James Comey is a member of he Truth-Tellers tribe.

    We have President Trump that has a documented history of being a compulsive liar that lives in a delusional world of narcissism and paranoia. Not even the White House staff can keep up with Trump's next lie. President Trump has no credibility when it comes to anything he says with the majority of the American people. Donald Trump is a member of the Liars Tribe.

    It's hard to believe that any rational American would doubt James Comey or believe Donald Trump.

    These aren't actually "personal" notes but instead they're formal investigative notes (FBI memos) that Comey wrote and they're all on file with the FBI. It's also likely that Comey has a copy of the official investigative memo's that he personally authored related to the ongoing criminal investigations of the Russia-Trump campaign connections. It would be unlikely that Comey would be in personal possession of other FBI records.

    The on-going criminal investigation into the Russia-Trump campaign as well as potential Abuse of Power, Obstruction of Justice, and potentially even treason by passing on highly sensitive top secret intelligence to our enemy (Russia) by President Trump provides a reason why Comey's memo's (notes) are relevant and should be available to Congress, an Independent Prosecutor if appointed, and at least some of those would be deemed acceptable for public release.

    So what grounds do we have for FBI "notes" related to Hillary Clinton or former President Obama? Neither are suspected of being complicit in any criminal activity. Hillary Clinton was cleared by the FBI related to her personal email account and former President Obama hasn't been suspected of any criminal involvement by the FBI.

    I have not heard or read Comey's actual testimony on this subject.

    I believe Comey is an honorable man but "honorable" men can make mistakes. I'll be looking at his testimony AND the evidence that supports and denies that testimony.

    If what has been said about Trump's actions and words in January (loyalty oath) and February (get past the investigation) are supportable then Trump has, at a minimum, shown himself to be incapable of functioning as president. Add in Comey's firing and the mess Trump made of that and you're making a good case for obstruction.

    Still, I don't make decisions based on innuendo and rumor.

    Trump is holding what appears to be a very weak hand. Still, as president he does deserve the benefit of the doubt but, that window is closing very quickly.

    Did he make tapes? Can he produce those tapes? Will those tapes support Comey or Trump? What if Trump did make recordings and has since destroyed them?

    What about Comey's other memos? It has been said he made a memo for every meeting and phone call with the White House. What do those memos hold?

    I'd rather be late and right than early and wrong.
