Can someone please explain what Trump did that was illegal.....LOL

In my mind this is no longer about Russian Collusion but rather Comey -Trump I said - he said.

Who's the liar? Who knows? Does it matter? Matter in what? The lines are becoming grayer and grayer. And in my mind, Who cares? I'd rather know what Congress is doing in making America work again.

The Trump-Comey fight is becoming sophmoric.

There is no Trump Homey fight, as Homey is the only one fighting and he is making a moron of himself.

He came off as very small and petty.

I completely disagree... He came off as humble, honest, objective, and fair minded. His testimony today will go a long way towards his credibility which is important in a "he said, he said" situation. Against a guy like Trump who consistently lies and manipulates and can't for the life of him admit he is ever at fault... It is a no brainer on who the more trustworthy of the two is.

The guy that said he allowed Lynch to railroad him on the investigation of a president elect who was sharing top secret info on a server in a Denver men's room is someone you can trust?

You can't be serious.

What are you talking about? when you explain it please state what exactly Comey lied about.

i agree, "the bureau is in turmoil" is subjective. the more time goes by i can see why Trump called him a showboat. he's a player with a political agenda (comey).

I disagree. HIs credibility today wasn't as damaged as some make it out to be, but he came across as vindictive and the entire performance struck of payback.

Comey came across very credible in some aspects of his testimony. In others, I think he came across as covering his ass. He made a huge mistake letting it out that he was a leaker, but that wasn't the biggest hit to his credibility. I think that the biggest hit to his credibility was his mealy-mouthed way in which he tried to justify not having to report to Sessions about his claim that 'He took Trump's sentence as a direction". If that had actually been the case, he was obligated to report up the chain to a superior. He was obligated to do so right after the meeting, in fact.

So, I think that Comey tried to walk the fine edge, and fell off. There was reputational damage to Trump for those who were on the margins of support for him. Those who opposed Trump didn't and wouldn't have had their minds changed, regardless.

I think we're just going to have to wait for the Special Prosecutor.

You may not like any of the actions that Comey took and you may not agree with his justifications but what has he LIED about? He has definitely been controversial in his actions but he has always came across as a straight forward and honest guy. I can paint this board with Trumps lies and half truths, what has Comey lied about that makes you doubt his word?

He was set up with many opportunities to accuse Trump today during the hearing and he didn't take them. He stopped many of the narratives that tried to get Trump for obstruction and only talked about his account and experience.

As for your last point, I really don't understand... What do you think would have happened if Comey went to Sessions and said Trump told me he hopes the Flynn investigation ends soon and I think it was obstruction... He would have been laughed out of the room and fired the next day. It was inappropriate, but not obstruction, he was fine to sit on it, his actions were logical. The fact that he was fired for not obeying Trumps wishes, that is flirting with obstruction.

Well, should we begin with the possibility that he may have perjured himself with regard to leaking information to the Judicial Committee? Should we talk about the fact that he claims he woke up in the middle of the night with some epiphany that he better put his side out to the press because Trump made a tweet about tapes and none of that strikes anyone as true? He claims he memorialized his meetings, but what is he actually saying? He wrote down everything he heard? How do we know that? He's already lied with regard to the Clinton investigation. He lied about the thousands of additional emails from Uma's laptop, but then had to go back and correct it with a few dozen.

You're not the only one who could paint this forum with lies told by the participants in this fiasco.

So let Me ask you, what makes you so sure he is telling the truth? I see no reason to take his word for anything, just as I don't take Trumps word for anything.

Sorry, but Comey managed to harm Trump a bit, and damage himself a bit. What do we have for it?

Those who don't like Trump still don't and wouldn't if Comey said that Trump was clean as the driven snow.

Those who support Trump will continue to support him regardless of what Comey said.

Those who were on the fence with regard to Trump will stop and evaluate their position a bit more, those who were on the fence against Trump will stop and evaluate their postion a bit more.

In the end, no ones mind was changed and no ones mind will ever be changed in the current climate.

So, we are back to having to wait for the Special Prosecutor to finish his investigation. The circus act at the Congress will continue and no one will do anything about anything.

You didn't name one lie by Comey in that rant. Him "leaking" information is not lying. He didn't lie about the additional emails they found... There were 1000's but most were duplicates, they didn't know that until after they investigated and compared them to the batch they had already vetted.

When he told the Judicial Committe under oath that he had never leaked information and then stated he leaked the information to the NYT's is an outright lie.

Thanks for proving My point. Those who are against Trump won't believe anything anyone says and so it goes on and on and on....

comey thought the notes he took belonged to him... ala hillary email.
