Killing Comey

1. Did anyone count how many times Comey said under oath I was confused ? I wonder what the headlines would be If Trump said that .

2. Tried to comment at Common Cents. No luck.
   I don’t see how this can be viral when there are what six different tracks playing at one time? No problem whit any other videos.

3. Thank you Kate. That was very good.
   As a guy who cut TV viewing back in the spring of 2000 I had seen some of Bill O’Reilly’s program on FOX News, but this ex-FOX interview was eye opening.

4. Now, that was worth watching and listening to.
   All the luck to Bill with fighting back against the left. Hannity also.

5. Bill is just another media whore…He hides & lies, and plays both sides. You won’t get any wisdom from Bill.
   “The Russian Ambassador is a diplomat, He is not a spy” Those where the words of FBI Comey under oath..He said that twice! Not one media source repeated that nugget… Jeff Sessions was demonized for meeting with a spy, but that was false..He met with a diplomat…I hope Jeff drops a hammer on the Senate on Tuesday…The Nuggets that Comey dropped could go into many direction… Comey was only at the FBI for 3 years, not exactly a proven FBI veteran… more like a fixer….
   Shepard Smith FOX is still ending his Russian Ambassador monologue with “well Known SPY” Shep is the Fox Fake news leader
   BTW: Anyone who thinks its a good idea to record or write memo’s about your meetings with your boss… forget it! because if he finds out you will be fired….
   I would like to see the FIRST memo Comey wrote JAN 6th.. It will tell
   why Comey was spooked!… Did he tell Trump the Truth

6. A question re: the word “hope”. In his June 8 pre-testimony statement Comey wrote:
   “The President began by asking me whether I wanted to stay on as FBI Director, which I found strange because he had already told me twice in earlier conversations that he hoped I would stay, …”
   Comey also wrote what Trump reportedly said about Flynn:
   “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.”

   Then, during the actual hearing, Comey repeated Trump’s “hope”:
   “… he [Trump] had repeatedly told me I was doing a great job and he hoped I would stay. And I had repeatedly assured him that I did intend to stay and serve out the remaining six years of my term.”

   So my question is this: why do Comey & some senators interpret the word “hope” as a “direction” in the Flynn context but interpret “hope” as merely “to desire with expectation of obtainment or fulfillment” (Merriam-Webster)? Furthermore, are the 38 occurrences of the word “hope” during the hearing meant as a direction or some wishful thinking?

7. “When I use a word,” Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, “it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less.”

8. I agree with you Shaw. He got scared and started playing both sides after the luffa incident. Quit watching. He thought that styling himself as a centrist would be safe. He lost that bet. As someone else said on another blog this week, “Appeasement is provocation.”
   All that being said, the fact the Fox has been eviserated is not good.

9. For what it is worth, what we watched comey doing this week was a man putting his superhero underware on the outside of his clothes and expecting the rest of us to drink deep of the cool aid. He was all over the place, whinny victim, principaled public serpent, (typo not intended but better) you name. Must be scared. Not one rhino asked him “You have called the president a liar and said he defamed you, how so sir? Be explicit”.
   Notice too, how he tried to woo the FBI agents into the fight by setting it up as though the President attacked them by pointing out the chaos in the department. He got his law breaking out there fast because there is more to come and he wants people to be tired of it when it hits and claim that it is old news.
   LOL now his feelings are hurt as his masculinity has been mocked because of his whinny victim portrayal and he has had a friend “leak” that he can dunk a basketball. You can’t make this stuff up. Pass the popcorn.

10. Comey has previously testified, in closed session, that the NSA pickup of communications between Loretta Lynch & Debbie Washerman Schults formed his decision to END the Hillary Investigation without charges…He would have had to ask for a Independent Council… (He said that would not be fair) NO FBI investigation of DNC server..problem for secure data. The FBI did an Investigation & DOJ would have that file.. come-on Jeff
    Trumps selection of a NY Lawyer for FBI Director MUST blow a cold breeze on NYC corruption. He was Chis Christie’s Bridge Gate Lawyer… Wow.. an insider with knowledge of Democrats
