I'm not sure why I need to know more than the Senate when I know how to readWilburHooksHands said:
Seems like a lot of machinations for a phantom. Are you sure you know more than the senate? Your second poont stands, although Trump hasn't exactly soothed anyone's fears about his honesty.RaceBannon said:
I didn't say either way. I said accurately that it is a phantom read over the phone. Comey's testimony under oath is a matter of record. Was he lying then or is he lying in the alleged letter no one has seen?WilburHooksHands said:
Comey perjuring and Trump obstructing are not mutually exclusive. You don't know that document doesn't exist.RaceBannon said:WilburHooksHands said:

By the way you only need to look at the words of the revered and saintly James Comey to understand how HIllary broke the law.
The same Comey who testified under oath on May 3 that no one including Trump put any pressure on him. Now that pales to an invisible document read over the phone to the NY Times but it does bring perjury in to play. Again
By all means continue with your very rational Trump Derangement Syndrome.
What?
I know that may seem irrational, but what can I say?

Has not always been that way. For Democrats. This tuff on Russia thing is very ironic to those of us WHO WERE THEREphineas said:All I've learned in 5 months is that it is an American right, freedom and expectation to hate russians, no matter what. But I already knew that

False. The questioning was limited to whether or not anyone at the DOJ put any pressure on Comey in the Russia investigation. At no point was Trump mentioned.RaceBannon said:Looks like I was right

If you hate these Russians you're either a steer or a queer

So Trump isn't a higher up and despite saying it would be a big deal Comey said nothing even though by law he would have to report such an attempt.
Very rational.
I'm more of a fake lawyer than creepy and I would love to get that fuck on the stand -
I know you're used to the Kim Grinolds version of interviews, but a real lawyer will tell you only to answer what is explicitly asked of you. In this case, that question only referred to the AG/DOJ.
Watch any testimony of law enforcement and DOJ officials, they don't ad lib this shit. They're professionals. -
Not sure how exactly Comey's testimony on May 3 and what the memo say are contradictory or any form of perjury.
On Feb 14 Trump asks Pence and Sessions to leave room and let him speak privately to Comey, says “I hope you can see your way clear to letting this go, to letting Flynn go. He is a good guy. I hope you can let this go.” Comey records in his memos that Trump said this. Goes back to doing his job
In the May 3 testimony Comey is asked to clarify the FBI's independence from the DOJ apparatus” and asked, “If the Attorney General or senior officials at the Department of Justice opposes a specific investigation, can they halt that FBI investigation?” He says no, he hasn't been "told to stop". He doesn't mention his conversation with Trump because a) he was asked about pressure from AG or DOJ not POTUS/White House and b) being asked is different than being told and nothing Trump had done to that point was hindering investigation. He also says the investigation is going full steam ahead.
On May 9 Trump fires Comey and the next day goes on TV and says he was thinking of "this Russia thing" when he did it. This now comes across as "I asked Comey to let this go and he didn't do it". Firing the head of the FBI, well now there's some political pressure to shut down an investigation.
But yeahhhh, a guy who's career FBI with a reputation for non-partisanship and unimpeachable integrity is probably likely to spout off and perjure himself when talking to a bunch of Senators in a routine hearing. -

On Oct. 31, 2016, ThinkProgress justice editor Ian Millhiser wrote a post making “the case for firing James Comey”:
Comey, WikiLeak, the Russians, election chintegrity, etc. have been kicked from one end of the political pitch to the other over the past 18 months.
We also know that Comey violated longstanding Justice Department protocol when he decided to disclose the very few facts that he actually did disclose in his letter to the Republican chairs. And we know that he wrote the letter over the explicit objections of Attorney General Loretta Lynch.Taken together, these actions constitute a fireable offense.
