Video: Trey Gowdy questions James Comey on "Russia election interference"

Nothing will happen. Comey is such a partisan -- he threw Clinton under the bus right before the election by announcing an ongoing investigation, meanwhile was totally quiet about a pending investigation into Trump. This is all window dressing. I've never seen prosecutors behave with such obvious partisan motive. I guarantee he'll turn up nothing on Trump when he's finally done.
 
When I got up this morning I read this comment from you and I feel I should reply. Normally I try to leave the last word to the person with whom I am speaking.

Once again I ask that you accept my apology for making you feel insulted. I have read your comments to others in the past, and did not realize you are thin skinned. If we have a disagreement/discussion in the future I will do my best to tone down my rhetoric. It is never my intention to hurt someone's feelings.

Just so you know my comments regarding a "smell test" or "legalese mumbo jumbo" were not intended as a retort toward your comments, although after reading what I wrote I can see how it came off that way.

What I meant to say was you are absolutely right that there needs to be proof of malfeasance before any legal action should be taken. But absence of proof does not mean the situation does not stink to high heaven.

The headline of The NY Times article specifically used the word wiretap. In the article they quoted Flynn's words with his Russian counterpart. Quotes that later proved to be exact. The article says it had/used the transcript from the wiretap. The article specifically named Flynn, in direct contravention of the law, an admission Gowdy had to drag out of Comey, using hypotheticals, knowing Comey would refuse to answer otherwise.

Gowdy admitted the difficulty in finding the leaker. There are countless people in the FBI, CIA and DNI with the capability of unmasking the names of American citizens, who could then pass the information to the Times. It will be next to impossible to find the felon that did it.

But, to me, that doesn't mean a felony didn't occur. It just means there is so much "legal mumbo jumbo" the felon knows he can't get caught. Won't get caught. Nothing will happen.

Anyway, once again please accept my apology for being so obtrusive. Let me buy you lunch in an attempt to make up!

"Once again I ask that you accept my apology for making you feel insulted. I have read your comments to others in the past, and did not realize you are thin skinned."

Once again....I didn't feel and wasn't insulted.

I'm not thin skinned. People I know personally and are friends have said much more provocative things to me. I used the term "argumentative", not "insulting".

I don't need an apology. I don't need lunch.

I'm just not interested in arguing with someone that seems to think we have "different points of view" despite me saying from the very beginning that their prediction may very well be correct.

It's all good buddy. I'll say it again....you may very well be right.
 
comey's inconsistencies are only exceeded by his sleeziness. these guys are a bunch of lawyers who have to have that background to weave and bob their way through the swamp. comey is not the only crooked politician unfortunately.

These two back to back quotes are pretty telling to me.

If both "sides" think you are nothing but a partisan shill for the "other side"....you are probably doing your job close to right.

You're right usually. How does one explain that he publicly commented on ongoing investigations against HRC right before the election and was totally circumspect about a Trump investigation? That's a pretty glaring double standard.

The HRC was no longer "ongoing". He reported the results of a completed investigation. He also got blasted from the right for what he said and the decision not to pursue or recommend charges.

It'll be a double standard if he doesn't come back and announce the results of the investigation he is presently doing when it is complete.

Well, 11 days before the election he deliberately announced that she was under investigation due to Wiener. Plenty of time to saturate the news cycle, in violation of DOJ policy.

Two days before the election, on Sunday, he announces they're done. Too bad it was on a shortened news cycle, and it helped the Trump campaign.

The timing of these and departure from DOJ policy is damning. Maybe I'm wrong, but I never remember prosecutors publicizing/politicizing investigations like that, particularly 11 days before the target is up for election. Why did he depart from longstanding policy 11 days before the election, when it would help Trump?
 
Why not bitch about the person that killed your party?

You'd have to be a simpleton of the highest order to not see Obama as the key figure in desimating the Democrats.

How is he not a villain? He created the vacuum that made Trump inevitable.
 
beyond illegally leaking flynns name i don't get all the hubbub over "russian" influence

theres saudi influence
mexican influence

Because it fits one sides narrative
 
I have a serious question to those who believe the Russians hacked the last presidential election. The question is, What exactly did the Russians do to hack the election? How was the hack actually manifested? Ok, that's two questions. Sorry.

1. On his worst day, he didn't do half the inexcusable stuff that Fatass does every day.

2. Oh, there was huge backlash against him..... in some states. Fatass still got 3mm fewer votes. He got elected with backlash, and the guy before him did, too. So did the guy before him.

3. Obama touched the third rail (healthcare) and paid for it. So did Clinton, and now so is Trump. It's a losing political proposition every time. More so when the stated main objective of the opposition party is to defeat the POTUS.

4. The conservatives have lied, exaggerated, twisted and hounded him so much that frankly I don't believe any of their accusations. Muslim, birth certificate, Jade Helm, Benghazi... I'm not spending any more time chasing their rabbits.

5. I need to work.

Hillary could have won the election if she:

-- Spent more time campaigning in the rust belt, and less time in fundraisers

-- Admitted before the debates that she received the questions in advance (she would have looked amazing for doing that, not to mention, cheaters never win)

-- Didn't call half of Trump supporters bad names

Hillary and the Democrats were guilty of believing way too much fake news about themselves.

She's been a bad politician for 25 years. Also, she fainted and collapsed on camera and denied anything was wrong. She's the one I'm mad at, not Obama.

I understand that is your position.

So....

Comey sabotaged Hillary's campaign because he's a politically biased partisan hack, and....

He is sabotaging Trump's presidency by announcing the "Russian" investigation includes looking into possible collusion and improper contacts between Trump, his administration and his election and announcing rather definitively that there is no evidence supporting Trump's tweets re: Obama wiretapping Trump Tower because he's a politically biased partisan hack.

Well, if he breaks this 11 days before the election, yeah. RIght now it's early. We'll see. My vote is he uncovers nothing and Biff is exonerated, and it's a half-ass investigation. If he comes out with some evidence that Biff colluded with the Russians, I'll be surprised.

Correct me if I'm wrong -- one reason prosecutors don't comment on pending investigations is to avoid the appearance of bias or partisanship? How could he have more skillfully impacted that election while maintaining a veneer of objectivity? I haven't heard a good reason for him departing from policy 11 days before the election. I'm all ears, too....

Comey isn't a prosecutor. He's an investigator. He announced the conclusion of the investigation and the results...with approval of the DOJ (who would have been the prosecutor). He announced that the investigation had been reopened and then again announced the conclusion of the reopening and the results....with approval of the DOJ (who would have been the prosecutor).

He was criticized for "exonerating" Hillary and accused of doing a half-ass investigation in order to do so. Just like you are predicting will be done with the Russian investigation.

I posted about the internal revolt within his own department after announcing that there would be no prosecution during his first announcement.I personally think the announcements in Hillary's case had less to do with him being a politically motivated hack trying to sabotage her campaign than it was an announcement to try to quell a formenting internal revolt....particularly from his NY office agents. Not saying it was the right thing to do...probably wasn't. I just don't think it was motivated by a desire to sabotage Hillary because of his political bias. Reasonable minds certainly may disagree.
 
Just keep ignoring what actually happened and blame the results on somebody/anybody else.

That's thoughtful and logical.

You can't look at the loss of seats as anything other than a massive failure on Obamas part. Then he didn't do anything for his own party's candidate. We could go into his roll over and show your belly foreign policy if you'd like.

See, it's not about birth certificates or his religion. He nuked his party and put Trump in power.

So its Obama's fault. What else is new? I addressed all that above the first time you wrote it, and you went to your default name calling mode.

Good job, I guess. Glad to see your get your money's worth out of your subscription.

Given the loss of seats where do you put the blame? Russia? Your parents? Trump?

Try thinking.
 
You were being a sarcastic dick.

You got the answer right but you pretended it was a fabrication.

Give an honest answer.

Dude, you can't blame a guy for reading the rules and winning the game.

WTf does popular vote matter when it's not what puts you in office?

Were the rules different this year? Did only one side know about electoral votes?

Shit son, do you see how stupid that argument is yet?

You're basically saying the people I support are to stupid to know rules that have been on the books before any of them were born. And are on display on a regular basis.

What's that say about you?
