Comey already told us earlier this year he was under no pressure to drop any investigation, so if he says he was, is he lying now or was he

lying then? Is it or is it not the duty of public officials to report bribes, harassments and threats in the performance of their duties? No matter how you look at it was Comey inept or himself in collusion with whatever lawbreaker he was investigating going all the way back to Clinton? Is fired worse off than jail?

    He is in politics.   They lie before they finish a sentence. This post was edited by WM BARR . =ABSOLUTE TRASH at June 7, 2017 9:05 AM MDT

    Yes he is a liar. Both statements cannot stand as truth. 
    If he contradicts his earlier testimony under oath Thursday....he needs to be charged with perjury. This post was edited by my2cents at June 7, 2017 10:23 AM MDT

    On the face of it, there is neither inconsistency or lying in both statements, and they are quite consistent.

    Just because someone wants me to do something I do not want to do (and the person making the request doesn't know that) it doesn't mean that I feel pressure just because he has asked me to do it---I have to be conflicted before I feel pressure.

    Corey may well have been confused about whether or not Trump was so stupid that he actually was attempting to obstruct justice and was serious about making that request.

    In that case, it may have taken a few days for Comey to conclude that "Yeah, Trump is that stupid and that was really trying to influence me."

    (And I've been in Comey's situation---and it does take a while to figure out what's going on.) This post was edited by tom jackson at June 7, 2017 10:38 AM MDT

    Comeys' going to FRY Trump. I pray.  But it won't matter. Because then Trump will make sure he will bury Comey.   

    He'll think of some Trumped up lie to ruin the guy. This post was edited by WM BARR . =ABSOLUTE TRASH at June 7, 2017 10:54 AM MDT

    Apparently, he said he wasn't.
