Politics Source: Comey to testify publicly about Trump confrontations

You folk still going to bat for Drumpf should be ashamed of yourselves...

 

Let's actually read what he said, shall we?

"One of the most interesting new disclosures today in the Comey hearing was the admission by former FBI Director James Comey that he intentionally used a “friend” on the Columbia law faculty to leak his memos to the media. Comey says that he did so to force the appointment of a Special Counsel. However, those memos could be viewed as a government record and potential evidence in a criminal investigation.

Notably, Columbia Law School Professor Daniel Richman on a faculty webpage reads that he is “currently an adviser to FBI Director James B. Comey.” Richman specializes in criminal law and criminal procedure.

The problem is that Comey’s description of his use of an FBI computer to create memoranda to file suggests that these are arguably government documents. Comey admitted that he thought he raised the issue with his staff and recognized that they might be needed by the Department or Congress. They read like a type of field 302 form, which are core investigatory documents.

The admission of leaking the memos is problematic given the overall controversy involving leakers undermining the Administration. Indeed, it creates a curious scene of a former director leaking material against the President after the President repeatedly asked him to crack down on leakers."

Let's actually think about this.
1. Note the embiggened words. This is all speculation, so the lawyer is NOT saying that Comey DID do anything wrong.
2. The "leaker" is a lawyer. Like the author. It would be odd if he didn't know the law surrounding what he did. Not impossible, of course, but still.
3. Is all this fuss because it wasn't Comey who revealed the memos? Suppose he'd actually printed out his memos and handed them out to reporters. Would that be "leaking"?
4. Exactly what is the nature of the "problem" alluded to in the last paragraph? He's clearly not saying it's illegal. He's saying it's inappropriate for a FORMER FBI leader to do the same thing that THE GUY WHO FIRED HIM complained about. But you need to establish that it IS the same thing. And he hasn't done that, except very tenuously.

It's like me saying to a pro-lifer: "it's very problematic you saying you're pro-life when you just STEPPED ON THAT BLADE OF GRASS!" Clearly the pro-lifer isn't going to see killing a plant as the same thing as killing a human.

 

More evidence for my bee theory.

 

And, should someone be held accountable for whom they appoint to positions of power?

 

(holds up a mirror) Rasta posts his thoughts all the time.....and posts tweets that support his opinion....you post news articles and charts and polls and if you post your own words it's usually just for the purpose of insulting a poster in OT......when it comes to.basketball you seem to post your own thoughts.

 

Discovers that Denny is a vampire.

 

Odd that the Senate Judiciary Committee don't mention the HEINOUS CRIME THAT HAS BEEN COMMITTED!!!

 

tl;dr

 

It's my own brilliantly incisive analysis, if that's what you mean.

I call that "sampling".

Sure... BASKETBALL court! Watch out for my unstoppable spin moves. Or don't - it won't make any difference.

 

Meet me up at Mt Tabor bro.
