    His feelings break laws? If he likes Miracle Whip because he feels it is better than mayo can we impeach him?

    He hoped Comey could drop it because he felt dude was innocent. Sure sounds like nothing.

    We are paying him to look out for our interests, not his.

    No, I was saying his feelings don't MAKE laws.

    Just because he feels Flynn is innocent (which, he pretty clearly is not) doesn't mean he can order the investigation dropped.

    The 'he said hope' defense is not too strong either.

    We've clearly gone back to the J.P. Morgan days of rule by self interest

    Well, when you use the literally incorrect term "order" there isn't much more to be said. I suppose the guy who bought the winning powerball ticket "ordered" the winning ticket. No, he hoped to fuck he bought the winning ticket and got lucky.

    Right, and that's a nice house you got there bodyman. Sure hope nothing happens to it.

    Pretending like words are interpreted literally with no context is pretty silly.

    Making everyone else leave the room first, then telling Comey his 'hope', then firing him when his 'hope' didn't come true makes it appear as if he wasn't just 'hoping'.

    But, I wasn't there. Perhaps you are right. Maybe the next thing he said was "And I hope for world peace and a blow job, too. But I don't expect you to deliver any of those things, Jim.

    Oh, except for the last one."

    I don't know, maybe every time Trump farts being leaked to the press might make someone want to keep something minimal so he knows who leaked it.

    I hope you don't go stick your hand in an operating food processor. If you want to consider that an order that's your fault.

    It's usually him, on twitter: "I FARTED just now. Greatest fart EVER. Obama never farted in 8 years. SAD!"

    Context tells me that that is not an order.

    And holy fuck I would ban every government employee from ever tweeting anything unless it is an emergency. Including the President. There is literally no benefit to it and I don't for the life of me know why he does it.

    Big?

    :lol:

    All the guy really accomplished was spending enormous sums of money that we didn't have to spend.

    I'll grant you he was good at that.

    You need new talking points.

    http://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb...nn-promoted-ny-times-story-now-debunked-comey

    National Security Correspondent Jim Scuitto, on CNN Newsroom on February 24 said, “Multiple U.S. officials tell CNN the White House sought the help of the bureau and other agencies investigating the Russia matter to say that the reports were wrong and that there had been no contacts, these officials said…You may recall that CNN and The New York Times first reported on this just over a week ago and so far the White House has not commented on the record. I should say that the FBI is still investigating these alleged communications.”

    In his June 8 hearing, the former FBI Director said that, “there’ve been many, many stories purportedly based on classified information, about – well, about lots of stuff, but especially about Russia that are just dead wrong.”

    Later in the hearing, Sen. Tom Cotton asked, “On February 14, published a story, the headline of which was ‘Trump Campaign Aides Had Repeated Contacts With Russian Intelligence.’ You were asked earlier if that was an inaccurate story, and you said in the main. Would it be fair to characterize that story as almost entirely wrong?”

    “Yes.” Comey replied, simply.

    http://www.news.com.au/finance/busi...y/news-story/9f4298928e443b697985086616370aa4

    The snub came just 24 hours after Comey told a Senate panel that an anonymously-sourced Times report from mid-February was false.

    “In the main, it was not true,” Comey said of the article, which contained details about Trump associates having “repeated contacts with senior Russian intelligence officials in the year before the election.”

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/poli...-new-york-times-story/?utm_term=.785a633e1fc9

    In his Thursday testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee, former FBI director James B. Comey said that a controversial New York Times story in February about alleged contacts between Trump intimates and Russian officials was bogus. “In the main, it was not true,” he said.

    ...

    The opening sentence: “Phone records and intercepted calls show that members of Donald J. Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign and other Trump associates had repeated contacts with senior Russian intelligence officials in the year before the election, according to four current and former American officials.” Though the story said that officials had found no evidence of collusion by Trump associates with Russia, it alleged that the intercepted communications “alarmed” U.S. officials because it overlapped with Trump’s complimentary comments about Russian President Vladimir Putin.

    That particular story may have been wrong on the specifics, but we know people associated with Trump campaign had contacts with the Russians, they've admitted it. So the interpretation that you are trying to sell here - that the campaign had nothing whatsoever to do with Russia - is clearly false.
