Comey confirms what Trump said all along: He told Trump he wasn't under investigation

[g5000]

Trump failed to understand that just because the FBI was not currently investigating him, that could change.

An FBI director should never be loyal to the President, and Comey had a 10 year job (unless fired) so why was he fired, for being a showboat??

Any new member and all members of Trump admin is loyal to him, not the country or people that pay their salaries, and the new FBI director would have to be crooked if loyal to Trump first. One can't trust anyone that DT hires, no one.

O's members were all loyal corrupt yes people, rice, jarret, lynch etc....and you were down with that.

Not to argue but Lynch was a Clinton loyalist

Trump was very worried about the whole hookers in Russia thing. Very worried. That's what he was trying to get Comey to say he was not investigating.

I read that too, but Trump's use of language is imprecise. LOL. I think Trump was trying to say the whole Russia thing was imploding his ability to move stuff, but the hooker angle bugged him personally. And now he's having trouble staffing because people are seeing how he treats people whom he perceives as disloyal, and McConnell is pretty desperate to move something on healthcare before more badness ensues.

You should write comedy

Are you saying a FBI director has loyalty for the POTUS first and foremost?? before the country? I suppose you are a gun toting 2nd amendment freak.

Before the country? You think Obama didn't want loyalty seeing as how the POTUS is the head of the executive branch?

No I bet he wanted honesty.

LOL

Watch the Trumpies run to Infowars or Breitbart for an opposing opinion.. meaning alternative facts.

Nothing to see here, just Trump fell in love with Comey which is why he asked others to be get lost so he could have him alone. Valentines Day dinner. DT felt it could not continue, but Comey

Trump had a right to be cleared publicly if he was not personally under investigation He also is correct that it was a cloud over his administration and he owed it to the nation and those who elected Trump to enact his campaign promises. The Democrats were piggybacking off of this investigation and milking it for the very fact that there was ambiguity and they were going to tell the voters in 2018 with certainty that Trump is guilty, even though they probably know there's little there.

I am not a lawyer or an investigating officer, but I don't see this as being obstruction. All presidents make requests of their agencies, if not them then the DOJ does. If someone is going to tell me that the former administration didn't interfere in the Clinton investigation than I have a bridge for sale. Her crimes dwarf anything that Trump has done, unless some evidence comes out to prove otherwise.

Therefore, if she was not up for charges, there is a far greater case that there was obstruction in her case, especially considering how much she has profited financially from her position, than surely Trump is not.

Someone in his administration? Maybe. Trump himself? I don't believe so at this point, not even close.

DT probably owes billions to Putins bank, Clinton is a rose compared to DT. DT has never been a moral man.

More accusations, the word probably gave you away, I wouldn't want any liberals on my jury, you know the whole innocent till proven guilty thing gets in a liberals way.

Leftists everywhere called Trump a liar when he proclaimed that he wasn't being investigated.

Comey told him that he wasn't. Trump isn't a liar. Our press and the alphabet agency heads are.

"I explained that we had briefed the leadership of Congress on exactly which individuals we were investigating and that we had told those Congressional leaders that we were not personally investigating President Trump. I reminded him I had previously told him that. He repeatedly told me, “We need to get that fact out.”

"Trump’s termination letter to Comey is correct even by Comey’s own admission: On at least three occasions, Comey confirmed that Trump wasn’t being investigated for collusion himself. That’s a superb headline for a White House that was understandably nervous about tomorrow’s testimony."

"An interesting aside from Comey: He says he began immediately memorializing his meetings with Trump in memos after that January 6 meeting, something he’d never felt the urge to do after meeting with Obama."

Yes I found a couple of things very interesting in this also.
January 6 Briefing
1. At the conclusion of that briefing, I remained alone with the President Elect to brief him on some personally sensitive aspects of the information assembled during the assessment.
The IC leadership thought it important, for a variety of reasons, to alert the incoming President to the existence of this material, even though it was salacious and unverified. Among those reasons were: (1) we knew the media was about to publicly report the material and we believed the IC should not keep knowledge of the material and its imminent release from the President-Elect; and (2) to the extent there was some effort to compromise an incoming President, we could blunt any such effort with a defensive briefing. The Director of National Intelligence asked that I personally do this portion of the briefing because I was staying in my position and because the material implicated the FBI's counter-intelligence responsibilities. We also agreed I would do it alone to minimize potential embarrassment to the President-Elect." They are discussing the Dosier file.

2. I spoke alone with President Obama twice in person (and never on the phone) -- once in 2015 to discuss law enforcement policy issues and a second time, briefly, for him to say goodbye in late 2016. In neither of those circumstances did I memorialize the discussions. I can recall nine one-on-one conversations with President Trump in four months -- three in person and six on the phone. (Comey brought up the three meetings and 2 phone calls but never mentioned what the other 4 phone calls were about?)

3. I said the White House Counsel should contact the leadership of DOJ to make the request, which was the traditional channel. He said he would do that and added, "Because I have been very loyal to you, very loyal; we had that thing you know." I did not reply or ask him what he meant by "that thing." I said only that the way to handle it was to have the White House Counsel call the Acting Deputy Attorney General. He said that was what he would do and the call ended. That was the last time I spoke with President Trump. (What in the hell does "we had that thing" mean?)

Washington (CNN)Former FBI Director James Comey is set to testify Thursday before the Senate on his interactions with President Donald Trump, and a copy of his testimony released Wednesday is full of eye-popping details.

Top lines from James Comey's testimony - CNNPolitics.com

Here is a collection of some of the most buzz-worthy lines in the fired FBI director's testimony, released by the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.

1. "He said he would do that and added, 'Because I have been very loyal to you, very loyal; we had that thing you know.' I did not reply or ask him what he meant by 'that thing.'" -- Comey describing an April 11 phone call with Trump in which he told the President to contact the attorney general instead of the FBI director directly.

2. "He said he had nothing to do with Russia, had not been involved with hookers in Russia, and had always assumed he was being recorded when in Russia." -- Comey describing a March 30 phone call in which Trump called the Russia investigation a "cloud."

3. "He asked what we could do to 'lift the cloud.'" -- Comey describing the March 30 phone call.

4. "A few moments later, the President said, 'I need loyalty, I expect loyalty.' I didn't move, speak, or change my facial expression in any way during the awkward silence that followed." -- Comey describing a January 27 one-on-one dinner with the President.

5. "I discussed with the FBI's leadership team whether I should be prepared to assure President-Elect Trump that we were not investigating him personally. That was true; we did not have an open counter-intelligence case on him. We agreed I should do so if circumstances warranted. ... I offered that assurance." -- Comey on a January 6 meeting with Trump, explaining what he was told about any investigation into him personally.

6. "When the door by the grandfather clock closed, and we were alone, the President began by saying, 'I want to talk about Mike Flynn.'" -- Comey describing a February 14 meeting in the Oval Office, during which Trump excused the other participants to speak to Comey alone.

There's nothing there that's going to lead to impeachment.

Comey told Trump he wasn't PERSONALLY being investigated for ties to Russia. There's a difference, to that and him having his lackeys being investigated and Trump getting caught up in the investigation because he knew about what was going on.

I'm beginning to think that Trump had nothing to do with the Russian collusion. Trump isn't a hands on guy. He likes to tell his apprentices just to get the job done, and he doesn't concern himself with anything but the outcome. Hell, Trump didn't even write his own best selling book.

And even then, Trump asked Comey to stop the investigation only in regards to Flynn. No one else and not the Russia thing in general. There's nothing there.
