Politics Source: Comey to testify publicly about Trump confrontations

Go to town, but we don't have to take it seriously anymore.

There is no investigation of Trump. The people who are in trouble are the leakers and Flynn, and that's it.

So much heat, so little light.

 

Seems awfully defensive to me.

 

I see the latest DNC talking points have come out.

 

I see. Don't like what he says, so call him names.

Great logic there.

Not.

Convinced.

 

Uh oh

DOJ Says Comey Wasn’t Honest In Senate Hearing

 

Oh oh oh! Law Newz is a lefty WWW site.

Comey was Before Congress to Indict Trump. Instead, He Might Have Indicted Himself.

The key interlude occurred with the ubiquitous Kamala Harris, the same Senator Harris who failed the bar the first time she took the bar exam. Only a Kamala-Comey marriage could birth this debacle:

Harris: “So was there any kind of memorandum issued from the attorney general or the Department of Justice to the FBI, outlining the parameters of his recusal”?

Comey: “Not that I’m aware of.”

Thursday night, Attorney General Sessions’ Justice Department released a statement about Comey’s testimony. The statement reads as follows:

“In his testimony, Mr. Comey states that he was not aware of any kind of memorandum issued from the Attorney General or the Department of Justice to the FBI outlining the parameters of the Attorney General’s recusal. However, on March 2, 2017, the Attorney General’s Chief of Staff sent the attached email specifically informing Mr. Comey and other relevant Department officials of the recusal and its parameters, and advising that each of them instruct their staff not to brief the Attorney General about or otherwise involve the Attorney General in any such matters described.” (internal ellipses omitted).

In fact, Comey always knew the “parameters of the Attorney General’s recusal.”

It gets worse for Comey. Right before and right after the answer that triggered the DOJ’s extraordinary written statement (name me the last time the DOJ publicly identified their recent ex-FBI Director as having just lied to Congress?), Comey denied knowledge about the “extent” of Sessions’ recusal and denied knowing Sessions’ scope of recusal as to “if he reviewed any FBI or DOJ documents.”

Congress criminalizes lying to Congress under oath. The relevant statutes are 18 USC 1621 and 18 USC 1001. Section 1621 requires a person first, be making a statement under a sworn oath; second, that statement be “material” to the proceeding; third, the statement be false; and fourth, the statement be knowingly and willfully false. Section 1001 mirrors those elements, without the same tribunal prerequisites: it also requires the government prove a person willfully made a materially false statements. In either case, the primary focus is: first, a false statement; second, a false statement as material to the matter; third, the false statement be made knowingly and willfully. A statement is not false if it can be interpreted in a completely innocent manner. A statement is not material if it is not particularly relevant or pertain to the subject of the matter. Willfully remains a very high standard of proof in the criminal law, though less in perjury cases than in tax cases: it requires the person know they are lying.

Sadly, for Comey, Sessions has the smoking gun: Sessions’ own email sent and read by Comey, according to the Department of Justice statement, showing Comey in fact did know “the parameters of the Attorney General’s recusal” despite his repeated comments to the contrary to Senator Kamala Harris’ questions.

 

LOL at NYTimes.

Stands by their lies.

 

He didn't say that. He said (legit voters) family and friends of illegal aliens should vote.

 

Listen to the whole thing in context. Just as I expose cherry picking and statements out of context regarding Trump, I do likewise with Obama and Clinton.

There were scandals in the Obama years.

Operation Fast and Furious.
Holder held in contempt of Congress.
The lie about you can keep your doctor.
Spying on journalists.
IRS scandal/selective targeting of conservative groups.
Benghazi.
Clinton's email server.
NSA spying/Snowden
Bergdahl
Iran nuclear deal
Solyndra
etc.

 

Sad to see, no doubt.

MOMENTS AFTER QUESTIONING TRUMP'S MENTAL HEALTH, PELOSI HAS SENIOR MOMENT(S)

Shortly after calling into question President Trump's mental health on MSNBC's 'Morning Joe,' House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi's own mental health came under scrutiny, as the 77-year-old California congresswoman referred to President Trump as "President Bush" and forgot what day of the week it is.

A reporter quickly helped her correct the gaffe, interjecting "Trump," but Pelosi appeared oblivious she slipped up.

An aide then emerged from the sidelines, passing Pelosi a note, notifying her she got the two presidents mixed up again.

Pelosi's confusion came just two hours after suggesting Trump was losing his mind. "I am concerned," she said on MSNBC, about Trump's "fitness for office."

"I think his family should be concerned about his health," Pelosi said. "The fact is that this is hopefully not reparable -- he’s the president of the United States."

"You mean you hope it is reparable?" Joe Scarborough asked, apparently confused.

"Yeah, yeah," she replied.

Asked if she had advise for Trump, she said, "go to sleep, get some sleep. Bring yourself to a place where your synapses are working."

During her weekly press conference, Pelosi not only became confused over who is president, but also what day of the week it is.

"I spoke with the speaker a week, a week and a couple days ago, about -- oh, no, just last Friday," she said. "What is today? Is it Friday again?"

 

This misstates the facts. There was no investigation of Trump personally. I guess that's good for Trump himself, but doesn't clear his entire administration/campaign.

Flynn, Manafort, Page, Kushner, Sessions.... all 'in trouble'. And Trump may be 'in trouble' now.

Is bodyman5001 with the DNC? I'm surprised to hear that, but ok. He was the one who provided me that 'talking point'.

Trump Derangement Syndrome.

Only Flynn is in trouble, and Trump fired him after 3 weeks. He also fired Manafort. Page is nobody.

History is going to record who the buffoons really are/were.

 

I was referring to you.
