Maybe you should pay attention better. His memos say nothing about being told to stop from the DOJ. In fact his memos are about pressure, NOT being told to stop.

This nonsense keeps getting brought up by people who listen to propaganda. Go listen to the whole statement, and then look at the memos.

One is about being told to stop by the DOJ, the memos are about being ASKED to layoff by the president.

Different people, different actions.

I wish I could look at the memo. You got a link?
Doesn't seem to be on the .gov website.

How many different threads will be started without a link to the actual testimony? This needs to be merged with them.

In the interim, comey was asked if any superiors from the FBI or DOJ had ever wanted to stop an investigation for political purposes. Nobody mentioned trump's name, nobody asked about trump. An FBI person would only answer what is asked, nothing more. Oh, that all of us should be so detailed and acutally answer the specific question that was asked! The details matter.

Don't know, but it will be someone that a given.
Gee, even though Trump said he fired Comey over this Russian thing? Did you hear that audio too?

You are no one special. You don't get advance peaks. You'll have your chance. Then what will your line be?

Trump is the top law enforcement officer in the land the DOJ is just an extension of him.

Then if it was so bad, Why sit on it this long and not turn it over to the DOJ as the law says is done. That is 2 different counts of obstruction of justice?
Extortion?


It really is a no win situation for Comey.
Or the media lied to us once again, trying to set a narrative.

tell that to the AG & DOJ:

"The Judiciary Act of 1789 created the Office of the Attorney General which evolved over the years into the head of the Department of Justice and chief law enforcement officer of the Federal Government."

The OP lies, FOX lies, and other right wing media lies.
Comey was asked if the Attorney General or senior officials in the DOJ asked him to stop an investigation.
He was NOT asked if Trump asked him to stop an investigation.
