Comey wrote memos that he shared with others after every meeting with Trump. The only prez he had to do that for. Why?

Comey said because he thought one day the prez might lie. That day is here.  How smart he is. How prescient. Too bad Comey isn't  president. Isn't it?

  • The only thing is, those memos could contain the whole truth, the partial truth or no truth at all. Unless someone was in the same room, there is no way to tell.

    That is true Karen. However Trump is a PROVEN LIAR. All the time about everything When he opens his m outh he lies.  Therefore I trust Comey over Trump for that reason. I know you support Trump and  others think he never lies or they know he lies all the time and they don't care or look the other way. Different strokes. Even if Trump is charged/tried/convicted his supporters won't believe he is guilty of any thing. They will think it was rigged and people lied.  Trump has insured that.  SIGH. It is what it is.  :(

  • I'm not so much a Trump supporter as I am a President supporter. I've said that before. I can't stand Hillary, but if she had won I'd do my best to support her. I started off liking Obama, but the longer he was in there, the more I wanted him out. He did too many shady things while he was in office. I know Trump is a doofus, but he is the president. My main concern is that there has been so much stuff put out there about him that has been proven to be wrong. Whenever I hear anything new, I try to find at least three different sources to either prove or disprove it. I don't check just the conservative sites either. I don't take anything I read or hear about him at face value. This post was edited by Benedict Arnold at July 8, 2018 12:14 AM MDT

    What "so much stuff has been put out there about him that has been proven to be wrong" Karen?  Trump is not simply a doofus. He is a pathological liar, a Russia lover, an alienator/divider/insulter/attacker and a possible traitor. He tried very hard to obstruct justice. You can live with that. I cannot. Thank you for your reply! :)

  • The story about him urinating on Russian prostitutes was false. Here's a list of some more:

    I never heard such a story Karen. And I'm not going to click on such links. They have nothing to do with the issue at hand which is Trump/Putin/Collusion/Russia/Spies/Treason. All the other stuff is distraction. If nothing is true in the Dossier or some is true or everything is true matters not. AT all. What matters is what Trump has done and is doing and will continue to do to sell us out to Russia. If  Russians are blackmailing him or he just loves Putin doesn't matter to me at all. Thank you for your reply and the link. I just won't be using it.

    I read it.. I like to try to find out the facts and am willing to change what I think in the light of new evidence.. I do have to say tho.. that I had never heard any of these stories.. so my dislike of him is purely based on what we know he has said and done  I heard the one about Russian professional lady.. to be fair that hasn't, to the best of my knowledge been disproven.. just Trump declared it fake.. there was another claim within the dossier that seems to be erroneous.. but that doesn't mean the whole lot are.. and the author did say it was a dossier on what was being said of Trump, and that he hadn't personally checked all of the things out..

  • Rosie, you asked me what has been put out that wasn't true, I provided a list of articles and now you don't want to read them. What do you mean by "such links"? Do you mean articles that prove a lot of the trash about him is fake? 

    May 10: Comey’s Russian Probe Resource Request

    Also on May 10, the news media exploded with reports that, prior to being fired by President Trump, Comey had requested that the Justice Department devote more resources to the FBI’s probe into Russia’s election meddling. The unspoken implication, of course, was that Trump fired Comey to keep him from discovering the truth about Trump’s involvement with Russia.

    The media went nuts. The New York Times, NBC News, Reuters, CBS, ABC, the Washington Post, CNN, Vox, CNBC, the Los Angeles Times, Politico, the Chicago Tribune,Fox News, The Hill, Business Insider, ThinkProgress, the Boston Globe, and many other news outlets ran with this story.

    It is beyond the scope of one article to detail the staggering, almost biblical-proportions-level media response on Twitter, although a few examples should suffice. The story was tweeted by the Washington Post’s Ashley Parker, who received over 5,200 retweets, while CNN’s Manu Raju tweeted about it to the tune of 4,100 retweets. And those are just two reporters.

    As is ubiquitous in the Age of Trump, these reports were inspired solely by the testimony of anonymous sources. The on-the-record sources, on the other hand, told a different tale: Department of Justice spokesman Ian Prior said the report was “totally false,” while acting FBI director Andrew McCabe (who was under oath, mind you!) affirmed that the FBI has “resourced” the Russian investigation “adequately.” He also claimed he was “not aware of” any request made by Comey regarding additional resources (also pointing out that Comey would have asked Congress, not the Justice Department, for additional resources).

    There are three possibilities here: either Comey made the request but, inexplicably, nobody told his successor about it; Comey made the request, McCabe was informed, then perjured himself to cover it up; or Comey never made the request and it was a bogus story to begin with. Which do you think is the most likely? And which of these options sound like fake news?

    Oh dear... almost nothing surprises me anymore.. the thing is.. those with sense and reason knew he'd be a disaster.. He should have recorded it!  When dealing with such a slippery character no precaution is too great

    Thank you for your reply Addb. Comey was prescient and very intelligent. He could sense a con artist from the git-go and protected himself.

    But the problem with the memos is that Comey has already testified under oath to the opposite of what his memos say. So now that he has testified under oath to the contradicting his previous testimony....Comey is the proven liar. And Comey should be charged with perjury. One of his testimonies under oath is a lie.

    Comey testified earlier under oath that Trump did not try to influence the investigation . Did not obstruct anything. 
    Now yesterday under oath again, Comey testified saying Trump did try to influence and obstruct investigations. 

    Those statement cannot stand together....one is a lie. One is perjury. And he should be charged.

    The strangest thing is I haven't ​heard anyone on the news calling for perjury charges. I have heard possible charges for leaking of his memos as they would be considered government docs.

    I watched/listened to the entire testimony Karen. Comey made it clear  that it was not up to him to determine obstruction of justice. That is what Mueller will do. So what makes you think he testified as you said? Did you just swallow Sean Hannity's views for it? Geez. :(

  • I didn't say anything about his testimony, only that if he lied under oath he needs to be punished.

    I disagree with you. Comey was VERY CAREFUL to say that it wasn't up to him to determine whether or not it was obstruction of justice. He VERY CLEARLY said that determination was up to Mueller.Now I WATCHED and LISTENED to his entire testimony m2c. Did you or did you just take Sean Hannity's word for what transpired?  You will see/hear what you need to justify your position vis a vis Trump. I understand that. Thank you for your reply.

    He was the FBI director, it was in fact his job to determine such things.   His opening statement which was admitted to congress as testimony does contradict his earlier testimony. Now, he did refuse to read it out loud to congress at the hearing. So naturally, you did not hear it. And yes he did parse words later to keep from outright perjuring himself. So he can still play the word games. He leaked gov docs. He implies that Trump was like Tony Soprano and he was just not brave enough to do anything.  Bunch of BS. Even Chris Matthews admitted that with the testimony the whole Russia collusion conspiracy theory just "blew up".

    Obama should have fired him, Trump should have fired him on day 1. Comey is a coward as his testimony also showed.

    Trump tweeted that Comey is a LEAKER.


    Meaning?  He told the truth to the people Trump did not want to hear the truth.

    Trump fired him because he told the truth.   He made sure he told enough people (Comey, I mean here) and took notes after every talk with TRUMP.

    Comey says that in all his years in office, he never had to approach a President more than a few times to discuss anything.  Obama, he said, he had to meet with about 3 times.

    Trump?   Continuously.  Trump wanted to keep Comey on a leash to do his bidding.  That is Trump's way.  He thinks he is chairman of the board.   He thinks what he says goes.   He thinks he is fooling everyone and he IS.

    This will go away. Mark my words.

    The House and Senate are too stupid to complain.  They back him.  They don't want to cause a stir.  The members on the counsel to determine the outcome of this?  They are all mostly in Trump's pocket.  This whole thing is a sham.

    "The only prez he had to do that for---Why"

    If you put a fox in a hen house, you know there is a high probability that you are going to have a number of dead chickens when he has left.

    Articles that may be written about other alleged carnage among others animals such as mice, rabbits, birds, frogs, etc. may well be written and published.

    Fake news---possibly.

    But the real issue is that once you know the true nature of the fox, you are aware that any of those articles not only could be true, but is quite consistent with what the fox is doing while he's busy in the hen house.

    Same with Trump---none of the stories news can ever be simply dismissed because whether or not he has done some of the things he has been accused of, it is quite probably that he could have done any of those things.

    Comey, like many of us, understand the real danger of Trump as president is what Trump is, because that determines what  types of things he might or can do.

    And that is what scares the bejusus out of those of us to whom basic perceptions come more quickly.
