Looks like he made a good call, huh !
Depends on your point of "opinion", his Alligator Mouth ate his Tadpole behind when he admitted that Loretta Lynch told him to use the Clinton Campaign rhetoric and call an FBI Criminal Investigation a "matter".

Somehow he neglected to document that Obstruction of Justice in any of his "famous Memos".
James Comey did a great bit of Kubuki Theater, but he got lost in his own "Grand Legacy".
America's last great Hero - the BoyScout is a smuck and he let it all hang out on National TV.

One way you know someone is trying to hide something is to attack every person that points out anything that might be damning to the person being looked at. This has been the policy from day 1, with trump and his supporters, according to them all the media Lies constantly about trump, even when trump himself verifies the truth of what they reported. The attack the Dems and claim they are the driving force to discredit trump and even go so far as to use the word Coup, the problem with that is that the Republicans are in charge and the investigations are in place due to Republican actions and Republicans were among those that questioned the first witness of many more to come over the next few months. In the end all they have are their feeble attempts to distract or divert people way from the issue and when that does not work they show their nasty side, when you think about it that is exactly like trump and Comey. Thankfully this will go fast than Nixon, there is a lot of pressure to get this resolved, and if you did not notice America watched the Comey testimony in huge numbers, America is watching, Congress better get this right or they will spell their own doom and I think they know it.

I read yesterday that NYT started "leaking" portions of the Comey memo's days before Trump tweeted about "tapes".. While the NYT did not reference the memo, they referenced "sources".. If Comey lied, and actually leaked his memo prior to Trump tweet would that make is whole testimony unreliable? If he was willing to lie about something so stupid to make his "leak" appear warranted?

I know its Fox News but the quotes are accurate..

Comey fallout: Similarities in Times article, testimony could bolster Trump claims | Fox News
Oh, something irrelevant?

You mean like Bill Clinton lying about his private sex life?

Well, you probably know how the Republicans still refuse to let that go, even after all these years.

It was covered in the thread at the top of the page, but on May 11th, after Comey had been fired, his associates spoke to the NY Times. They gave out some of the information that he did.

While some are claiming he's lying, if you look at the timeline, it makes sense.

Isn't this how every lie from the Trump administration starts; claim something false and then cry conspiracy when they don't receive the answer they want.

He also lied about someone coming to him to end an investigation, and then went on to explain Lynch did just that and he went along with the matter

Honestly, we should be more focused on Trumps lies.
