Comey, who is now hated by everyone, will be unemployable for the rest of his life

[Wyatt earp]

He's a proven snitch, leaking to the press to get his boss in trouble, and calling his ex-boss a liar for calling him incompetent, which he was.

Who's going to hire this guy now?

Maybe he'll get some sinecure as a law professor or something, but he will never be put in a position of trust again.

NEVER?? You ah's elected a world class liar divorced twice and a 3rd on the way, a real SB who can't tell the truth and you bash an honest man who worked for our country and not for himself like the pos dumph did? Shame on all you repub traitors

You post like Franco. And that's not a compliment

Eddie I think it's obvious we all know after Trump won his team met up with the Russians to tell them don't worry about the Russians getting thrown out by Obama.

Because Putin didn't throw out any U.S. guys..in fact he invited U.S. ambassador's kids over for a party

But I don't think Trump was apart of that.

The FBI is supposed to be trusted, but Comey threw away that trust when he leaked the contents of a private conversation with his boss.

Well gee tootsie-bell, seems like you're overlooking the tweet that Donald put out there about how Comey better hope there were no "tapes" of their dinner. And Comey did the right thing by launching the first volley with those memos. Your fucking dictator has cornered himself. Get ready to say President Pence before Christmas. And that sucks too. Thank you for helping to fuck up this country. Now go fuck yourself

Not the time line...it looks to me Comey leaked it before..

Don't any of you idiots ever look anything up before you make yourselves look like stupid idiots?

A timeline of James Comey and President Trump
Jan. 6, 2017: Comey and other intelligence officials travel to Trump Tower in New York to brief the president-elect on the intelligence community's findings about Russian interference in the campaign. According to Comey's prepared Senate testimony, he is chosen to inform Mr. Trump privately of salacious material gathered by a former British intelligence official that the U.S. had not verified.

This is the first time Comey meets Mr. Trump. He begins a practice of taking notes about their private conversations, typing his recollections on a laptop in the car immediately after leaving Trump Tower, according to his testimony.

Jan. 15, 2017: Vice President-elect Mike Pence appears on CBS News' "Face the Nation" and defends Flynn's conversations, saying Flynn did not discuss sanctions with Kislyak during phone calls in December.

Jan. 20, 2017: Mr. Trump is sworn in as president of the United States.

Jan. 22, 2017: During a reception for law enforcement at the White House, Mr. Trump shakes hands with Comey and jokes that Comey has "become more famous than me."
Jan. 27, 2017: Comey is invited to dinner at the White House with Mr. Trump. According to Comey's account, he had expected others to attend, but found himself alone with the president in a dining room. Further, the dinner progressed into a "very awkward conversation," with Mr. Trump telling Comey, "I need loyalty, I expect loyalty," according to Comey, who "didn't move, speak, or change" his facial expression "in any way during the awkward silence that followed."

"We simply looked at each other in silence," Comey says.

Comey writes a "detailed memo" immediately after the dinner, sharing it with senior FBI leadership but keeping it unclassified.

Feb. 9, 2017: Investigators learn that Flynn did discuss U.S. sanctions on the phone with Kislyak, despite Vice President Pence's public denial. A source close to the vice president tells CBS News that his statement was based on what Flynn personally told him.

Feb. 13, 2017: Michael Flynn resigns as national security adviser.

Feb. 14, 2017: Following a meeting in the Oval Office, Mr. Trump asks Comey to stay behind to "talk about Mike Flynn," according to Comey's testimony. Mr. Trump allegedly tells Comey that Flynn "is a good guy," saying he hopes Comey "can let this go." Comey is noncommittal and briefs senior FBI leadership on the "very concerning" interaction, Comey writes. Comey does not inform DOJ officials about what Mr. Trump said, but implored Attorney General Jeff Sessions to prevent future one-on-one discussions between the two, according to the testimony. Sessions does not reply, Comey says.

Feb. 24, 2017: Mr. Trump takes to Twitter to criticize the FBI for failing to find the source of leaks in the administration, a concern Mr. Trump also raised with Comey, according to Comey's testimony.

• March 2, 2017: Attorney General Jeff Sessions recuses himself from the Russia investigation after previously undisclosed meetings with Kislyak come to light. The deputy attorney general is now responsible for overseeing the department's involvement.

March 4, 2017: On Twitter, Mr. Trump accuses Mr. Obama of having Trump Tower wiretapped.

March 6, 2017: Law enforcement sources tell CBS News that Comey was angered by the president's tweets, and asked the DOJ to refute the claims. The department did not act.

March 30, 2017: According to Comey's testimony, Mr. Trump calls him at the FBI to ask if Comey could "lift the cloud" of the Russia investigation. Comey allegedly tells the president the investigation is proceeding as quickly as possible.

Mr. Trump also asks Comey about the March 20 hearing, Comey says. Comey allegedly tells Mr. Trump that he informed congressional leaders the FBI is not "personally investigating" Mr. Trump. The president says, "We need to get that fact out," according to Comey's testimony, and says "the cloud" of the investigation is harming his ability to "make deals for the country."

April 11, 2017: Mr. Trump calls Comey again to follow up on his directive to "get that fact out," according to Comey. Comey tells Mr. Trump the White House counsel's office should make the request with the Justice Department, Comey writes.

According to Comey, the president says he would do that, adding, "Because I have been very loyal to you, very loyal; we had that thing you know." Comey says he doesn't know what "thing" Mr. Trump is referring to, according to Comey's account.

"That was the last time I spoke with President Trump," Comey writes in his testimony.

April 26, 2017: The Senate confirms Rod Rosenstein as deputy attorney general.

May 2, 2017: Mr. Trump tweets that Comey was "the best thing that ever happened to Hillary Clinton."

• May 3, 2017: Comey testifies before the Senate Judiciary Committee to discuss the circumstances surrounding the Clinton email investigation. Comey tells the committee it makes him "mildly nauseous" to think he affected the outcome of the election, but that had no regrets and would do the same again.

May 8, 2017: Mr. Trump meets privately with Sessions and Rosenstein about Comey. Rosenstein expresses concerns about Comey, and the president asks Rosenstein to put those concerns in writing so that he could review them.

Mr. Trump also calls the Russia probe a "taxpayer funded charade."

May 9, 2017: Mr. Trump fires Comey.

A pool report sent to the press at 5:42 p.m. says that White House press secretary Sean Spicer told reporters in the briefing room that Mr. Trump accepted recommendations from the attorney general and deputy attorney general regarding Comey's dismissal.

Comey is in Los Angeles, addressing agents in the LA field office. He sees news of his firing on televisions playing in the room, at first thinking it must be part of a prank.

The White House releases three documents: a memo from Rosenstein, a letter from Sessions to Mr. Trump and an official statement from Spicer, saying Mr. Trump acted "based on the clear recommendations" of the two DOJ officials.
May 10, 2017: Mr. Trump meets with Kislyak and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in the Oval Office. The New York Times later reports Mr. Trump calls Comey a "real nut job" during the meeting, adding, "I faced great pressure because of Russia. That's taken off."

May 11, 2017: The president says in an interview with NBC News' Lester Holt that he made the decision to fire Comey alone. He revealed he was thinking about the Russia investigation when he made the decision.

"When I decided to just do it, I said to myself, I said, 'You know, this Russia thing with Trump and Russia is a made-up story,'" Mr. Trump said. "'It's an excuse by the Democrats for having lost an election that they should have won.'"

May 12, 2017: Mr. Trump hints at the existence of "tapes" of his conversations with Comey.

Just looked it up. He is 6'8''. Das tall!

My H is 6'7". He was 6'8" when I met him 30 years ago when he was 35. Yepper, everyone STILL asks him if he played pro basketball.

I bet! All of the men in my family are tall, but not THAT tall. Tallest is 6'4'' I think.

It's sad but over 6'5" is actually a very low grade form of human gigantism, and they don't age well. Very hard on the heart when someone is that tall. My H has chronic heart failure which he is living with fairly well due to the miracle of modern meds.

 

[Old Rocks]

I wouldn't hire him to clean floors.

Yet you loved him when he was investigating Clinton.

I am on record with hunderds of WTH and Land O' Goshen! That the "buffoon" took forever and did nothing. 2 week job. Surrender the emails on USB or kick the door down take it all Day1 (better). Search script...finish it. Something there or not? Why years? Incompetent corrupt boob. Now a massive leaker too. No I don't give a pass. Fine and Jail.

Butthurt much?

June 8, 2017: Comey testifies before the Senate Intelligence Committee.

The public record reveals that the New York Times was quoting from these memos the day before the referenced tweet, which belies Mr. Comey’s excuse,” the statement from Kasowitz said.


Though Comey claimed he didn't orchestrate the leak until May 16, four days after Trump's May 12 tweet, a New York Times article from May 11 appears to track closely with the memo's contents.

There are in fact striking similarities between that pre-tweet article and Comey's written testimony, suggesting the memo's contents may have been leaked -- by somebody -- before Trump vented on Twitter.

Kasowitz clarified on Friday that he was referencing a May 11 article, “In a Private Dinner, Trump demanded Loyalty. Comey Demurred.” The language contained in the article – which seemed to spur Trump’s “tapes” tweet – references Comey’s interactions with Trump that are essentially repeated in Comey's submitted testimony.

"It is obvious that whomever was the source for the May 11, 2017 New York Times story got that information from the memos or from someone reading or who had read the memos," Kasowitz said in a statement. "This makes clear, as our statement said, that Mr Comey incorrectly testified that he never leaked the contents of the memo or details of the dinner before President Trump's May 12, 2017 Tweet."

Indeed, two passages about the Jan. 27 dinner in particular have similar wording:

Comey’s testimony, based in part on a review of memos he wrote – “I added that I was not ‘reliable’ in the way politicians use that word, but he could always count on me to tell him the truth.”

The Times article, based on an anonymous source – “…Mr. Comey has recounted to others, he told Mr. Trump that he would always be honest with him, but that he was not ‘reliable’ in the conventional political sense.”

Comey’s testimony – “Near the end of our dinner...He then said, ‘I need loyalty.’ I replied, ‘You will always get honesty from me.’ He paused and then said, ‘That's what I want, honest loyalty.’ I paused, and then said, ‘You will get that from me.’”

The Times article – “Later in the dinner, Mr. Trump again said to Mr. Comey that he needed his loyalty. Mr. Comey again replied that he would give him ‘honesty’ and did not pledge his loyalty, according to the account of the conversation. But Mr. Trump pressed him on whether it would be ‘honest loyalty.’ ‘You will have that,’ Mr. Comey told his associates he responded."

The Comey memos are never explicitly mentioned in the May 11 the New York Times story; however, details that appeared to have been written in the memos were. Not until a May 16 story, which Comey indicated Thursday was the first story his friend leaked at his request, was there a public mention of the Comey memos.

During his Thursday testimony, Comey said the only people he told about his recollections of the Trump encounters were the “deputy director, my chief of staff, general counsel, deputy director’s chief counsel and then, more often than not, the number three person at the FBI, the associate deputy director. And quite often, head of the national security branch.”

Given the timeline and Comey’s own testimony, it would appear there are two scenarios for how the information got out in the May 11 piece.
