Comey thought he was going to a group dinner at the White House. Instead it was a small table for two in the middle of the Green Room. That's not normal.

[quote=mohawkx;48467684]Trump know what he was asking Comey to do was wrong, otherwise he never would have ordered everyone else in the room to disappear. He would have just kept everybody in the room while he innocently made some suggestions to the FBI director concerning the Flynn issue. He didn't do that. He removed the head of the Dept of Justice and his Chief of Staff. That proves guilt right there.[/QUOTE]

No it doesn't.

When Comey ask for everyone to leave so he could talk one on one with Trump in Trump Tower did it make him guilty of a crime ? No

That statement will go down as the most irrelevant statement ever made by an official presidential spokesperson.
Simply because Trump has no heart.

That's because he was sharing classified information about the fact that Trump's National Security Advisor was liable to blackmail from the Russian government and Trump should know about it in private.
It didn't matter because Trump kept Flynn on board irregardless of the fact.

You're comparing apples to socket wrenches. Not even remotely related.

Sessions should have said. Mr. President I do not advise that you do that. Sessions should have said to Mr. Comey, this is not a good idea given the investigations under way. I would advise against it.

Yeah --I know it is tip toeing -- but in the really big world of adults - you have to err on the side of caution

Jeff Sessions, the Confederate General, should resign! Sessions is wholly unqualified and unfit to hold the position as US Attorney General.

I mean think of it, I hardly know the man, it doesn’t make sense. No I didn’t say that and I didn’t say the other.


jonathan karl directly asks trump " would you be willing to speak under oath to give your version of those events? " and i have no clue if trump answered "100%" he is willing to give testimony under oath or "100%" he's willing to give testimony but not under oath or if the 100% pertains to something completely unrelated.

Still waiting for Trump to fulfill his tax release promise. Trump promises and statements mean squat. Even he doesn't believe them.

We all know by now that what Trump say's vs what Trump means are two entirely different things.

And then there is What Trump intends, which is an entirely different third option.
