GOP talking point lie: the talking points memo disingenuously claims that “oth sides of the aisle have stated that Director Comey needed to step aside.” While it’s true that many Democrats took issue with Comey’s handling of the Clinton email case — handling which Trump applauded during the campaign — the RNC ignores the fact that whatever issues Democrats had with Comey were superseded by the fact he was overseeing an active investigation into Trump’s campaign at the time Trump fired him.

then why did Harry Reid ask for Comey's resignation. can't have it both ways bubba.

Harry Reid: ‘New Edgar Hoover’ FBI head Comey needs to resign and be investigated for hiding Russian hacks

"Saturday morning, outgoing Senate Minority leader Harry Reid said FBI Director James Comey should resign immediately and face a full Justice Department investigation for sitting on information that showed the Russians were interfering with the 2016 presidential election."

The Republican Committee’s incoherent Comey talking points ignore the obvious

What lies are coming from the RNC?

The talking points also cite debunked claims about “Democrats and Republicans agree[ing] there is still no evidence of collusion between the Trump Campaign and Russia.” In fact, on May 23, former CIA Director John Brennan said the FBI’s investigation of the Trump campaign’s connections with Russia is “well founded.” He cited “information and intelligence that revealed contacts and interactions between Russian officials and U.S. persons involved in the Trump campaign that I was concerned about because of known Russian efforts to suborn such individuals. On Wednesday, former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper — who not long ago was Trump’s favorite authority on Russia — said that the scandal that brought down President Richard Nixon pales in comparison to President Trump’s connections with Russia.

What are you talking about Mark Warner and s bunch of Democrats agree their was no collusion... Stop making stuff up



Where’s The Beef?: Democrats And Republicans Agree There’s No There There





.

So you respect what Democrat Mark Warner has to say?

The top Democrat on the Senate panel that heard from fired FBI Director James Comey on Thursday said President Donald Trump appears to have violated post-Watergate guidelines meant to protect the independence of federal investigations.

Trump’s request that Comey “lift the cloud” of the Russia investigations in calls on March 30 and April 11, as Comey described in a statement released Wednesday, appeared to be an influence to co-opt the FBI director, Warner said.

He said Comey’s prepared testimony is “disturbing.”

Republicans said Comey “plays fast and loose with the truth.” Democrats said his opening remarks alone showed Trump had lied four times about his interactions with the former FBI director.

Warner also cited Comey’s descriptions of Trump telling Comey that he needed and expected loyalty, his urging Comey to go easy on former national security adviser Michael Flynn, and allegations Trump was pressuring senior intelligence community leaders to downplay the Russia investigation or intervene with Comey.

“This is not how a president of the United States behaves,” Warner said.

Call Sign Chaos, post: 17475181

That's not obstruction of justice, ongoing investigations don't suddenly stop when the FBI director is fired. No serious person is saying that there was obstruction anymore.

Do you think the only serous people are RWNJs with their heads up Trump's ass?

I did not say ongoing investigations stop when an FBI Director is fired. Who are you arguing against?

Why did Trump quit the original official White House reason for firing Comey?

"At first, the White House said Mr. Trump had fired Mr. Comey based on the recommendation of the Justice Department, and because of Mr. Comey’s handling of the F.B.I. investigation into Hillary Clinton last year. Officials said the move had nothing to do with the Russia investigation."

Trump Told Russians That Firing ‘Nut Job’ Comey Eased Pressure From Investigation

Then Trump explained to Russians:

“I just fired the head of the F.B.I. He was crazy, a real nut job,” Mr. Trump said, according to the document, which was read to The New York Times by an American official. “I faced great pressure because of Russia. That’s taken off.”

Trump Told Russians That Firing ‘Nut Job’ Comey Eased Pressure From Investigation

We didn't want him to be fired because he wasn't treating Trump like a king. Us not liking how Comey handled the election does not mean Trump can fire him because he doesn't show favoritism to either side. If that's true I respect the man. I think the Republican in him sabotaged Hillary and hes he should have been fired for that but not for NOT giving Don his undying loyalty. That's cra cra.

Comey treated Trump like he wasn't above the law. I like that. He was treating Trump like he would any other citizen. He didn't give Trump his loyalty while investigating all the shady shinnanigans that went on betweenTrump's team and Russia.

When asked by ABC's Jonathan Karl whether he told Comey to back off the Flynn investigation, Trump said: "I didn't say that. I will tell you I didn't say that. And there'd be nothing wrong if I did say that, according to everything I read today."



In his second tweet before lunchtime Friday, President Trump potentially undermined his private lawyer's statements denying key parts of Comey's testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee the day before.

When The Washington Post reported that Russia-to-Russia communications claimed that presidential adviser and son-in-law Jared Kushner tried to set up a back channel with the Russians, White House aides went on TV immediately to defend Kushner.

The next day, Trump tweeted a Fox News article (yet another pattern) that reported Kushner did not attempt to create such a back channel. Trump later deleted the tweet, according to FactBase, which archives his tweets and other communications.
This is actually a pattern for Trump. He often muddies the waters on negative news stories about him in a way that gives him mutually exclusive avenues of defense. Just a few examples off the top off my head:

That firing the director of the FBI is obstruction and that Trump bragged about said obstruction to the Russians.

Trump did brag to the Russians about firing nutjob Comey and Trump told them he thought that firing would relieve the pressure of the investigation.

Firing an FBI Director is not obstruction when there is a reason to do it other than wanting loyalty from Coney and Comey to ease up on Flynn and lift the cloud on Trump personally and to take pressure off the investigation.

Then Trump declares Comey handled Clinton emails poorly to be the reason for the firing, then Trump counters his own spokespeople saying that it was to ease the pressure of the investigation by the nut job Comey.

Your orange buffon can't handle the job. Can't keep his own mouth shut about the real improper reason he fired Comey.
