NYT: Trump Asked Comey to End Flynn Investigation

[The_Doctor]

Again, ignore the kid.

Comey's going to testify if the hearing is public. Really this situation has no downside. Either Trump is impeached or he carries on deeply wounded and powerless.

Yup. I think Comey will be very happy to turn over the memos…

Yep, you're absolutely right. No downside to this at all. Trump is such an idiot that he can't possibly have seen any of this coming. You can rest easy.

what is the difference?

One lead prosecutor (Ken Starr/Whitewater/Lewinsky style) versus multiple-people commission (9/11/Kennedy Assassination style).

The media has always had deep ties to Communists and leftist ideology. They exist for one purpose, to influence the public to support their ideology and causes. They regularly coordinate with each other and with leftist politicians to achieve their common goals.

No one put them into power. No one elected them to govern. Yet they believe that they have some right to spew propaganda in an attempt to reshape society and drown out any voice to the contrary.

George Soros disagrees with you.

If this isn't a troll. . .

[Confused Democrat]

If this did indeed happen in february, doesn't comey have SOME dirt on his face when he said recently there was no pressure?

Absolutely.

Why would Comey have dirt on his face for not disclosing this?

Comey was, at the time, investigating the the President and his campaign along with Michael Flynn for possible Russian collusion. Wouldn't the logical thing for Comey to do be to keep quiet and document the President's attempts to obstruct justice in order to build a case against him?

If Comey notified Congress about this, it would have been leaked immediately and the President would have cut Comey off, hindering the FBI's investigation.

GOP "movement" could also be connected to this...


Scoop: GOP polling over the weekend shifted against them in Montana and Georgia. National GOP starting to worry.

Yeah, I'd say that's quite accurate.

“There has been no effort to impede our investigation to date,” Mr. McCabe said. “Simply put, you cannot stop the men and women of the FBI from doing the right thing.”

God bless James Comey.

have cursed him for months for not just officially indicting clinton last june but he is obviously redeeming himself to be non-partisan.

If Quist wins next week, the Republican Trump wheels could really fall off.

Of course Director Comey should testify. I believe an open, transparent government is most effective for the people we represent.
