For the fifth or sixth time in as many threads, this is not and never has been about trump and collusion with Russia. It is about trump and his possible obstruction with the FBI investigation of Mike Flynn, who is in with Russia up to his eyeballs
Then why hasn't that been the story in the news everyday ? MSM and Democrats have made it all about Trump for months. The fake news has been saying Trump has been under FBI investigation for months and today that was found to be not the case.
On the obstruction charge there is nothing to that either in Comey's statement released today. The only thing that seems to be real is the nothing burger that Democrats will eat, not be satisfied, and still want a bite of Trump
Some continue to say Trump is just not familiar with how to operate, however
"Julie O’Sullivan, a former federal prosecutor who teaches at Georgetown University’s law school, said Trump’s decision to clear the room before talking to Comey is evidence that suggests that Trump “was aware that what he was doing was a problem.”"
Why would Trump supporters defend a man who knowingly is doing illegal acts?

Exactly. And now we know the FBI and Comey were complicit in forwarding this agenda that Trump was under investigation when clearly he was not.
Comey should be strung up for the traitor he is for holding the country hostage to this BS agenda.
So, he wanted honest loyalty? And you oppose that?
You cannot take sentences and attempt to get what you want, you must read and comprehend the entire document....
Above is the one nobody will talk about.....and he (comey) would not tell the press, which is probably why he was fired....
Another point...if Comey felt so threatened and intimidated by Trump, why would he not simply resign? And on top of that, I hope someone asks him if he in any way felt threatened of intimidated by Obama/Clinton/Lynch during the Hillary e-mail scandal..
Of course that depends on the rest of the evidence. I'm not making any judgements - just pointing out interesting language in his statements. I'm certain this will get clarified more tomorrow.
There really is no more evidence. Comey mentioned a few details, but stated in his opening that this was the basically it.

Obviously, you disagree with this decision, but I'm not sure if he is an idiot. And given his handling of the DNC stuff, it's hard to say he is politically-motivated...
I'm not saying he is charging him of anything - which is why I brought it up. I'm wondering what his statements are getting at (if anything).
Typical tactic by you - lumping the person you're talking to into some monolithic group ("progressives", "leftists", etc.).
How about debate the person and specific points? It's really not that hard. I give you that courtesy, how about you return it? Maybe I'm asking too much of you?
My bad, I quoted the wrong law (meant 793, not 798):
this was the law in question:

Comey validates she did in fact break the law.
Comey stated she had no intent, yet you can see "intent" is not a requirement, rather "gross negligence" to which Comey specifically admitted in the video above that she was "Extremely careless".
Yes. I am sure trump wanted coney to say trump asked him to let his buddy Flynn off the hook. Seriously.
Buddy?
In September 2011, Flynn was promoted to Lieutenant General and assigned to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. On April 17, 2012, President Barack Obama nominated Flynn to be the 18th director of the Defense Intelligence Agency.
So tell me, who was buddy with who?
