Trump tweeted last night that Comey lied under oath repeatedly during yesterday's testimony.
It boggles the mind that someone who already has a bad reputation for lying would accuse a man who was the countries primary law enforcement officer since 2003 of repeated counts of perjury.
so the people investigating all of this are the very people Trump is fighting against. the deep, entrenched system that actually runs the show and that operates on a quasi-public level with shadowy compartments. a system that can't account for trillions spent and won't give actual evidence and expects all of us to take their word for it. this isn't about Trump as much as it's about a corrupt govt system that is being exposed and they don't like it one bit.
You will not get any reasonable debate from the Trumpers, they have nothing but insults to offer, but your are factually correct.
Trumpers hate Comey because he has their guy over a barrel.
"]You will not get any reasonable debate from the Trumpers, they have nothing but insults to offer,"'
It looks like you FON'T rewad any post from those on here do not like Trump.
They are FILLED with insults.
"Trumpers hate Comey"
I also fond that those who accuse others of "hate", are usually the guilty ones of the claim.
"because he has their guy over a barrel"
And Hillary is going to win the election becuae Trump doesn't stand a snowballs chance in hell of winning!
Comey has been known as "The Fixer" since Whitewater.
Comey’s involvement protecting Hillary goes back to the mid-1990s and Whitewater, when Comey served as a special counsel to the Senate Whitewater Committee.
We now know from the 246 pages of previously undisclosed internal memos released by Judicial Watch from Ken Starr’s Office of Independent Council investigation in 1998 that DOJ prosecutors had evidence that Hillary Clinton and her associate Webb Hubbell at the Rose Law Firm in Little Rock, Arkansas, were guilty of criminal fraud in the Whitewater affair.
From 1987 to 1993, Comey, working in the U.S. Attorney’s office for the Southern District of New York, served as the DOJ prosecutor who oversaw the prosecution of Marc Rich, the billionaire oil trader convicted of tax fraud and trading with Iran during the embassy hostage crisis.
But in 2001, when Bill Clinton decided on his last day in office to pardon Marc Rich, Comey oversaw the criminal investigation, but decided there was no wrongdoing on Bill Clinton’s part, “despite public outcry over the evidence that Rich’s ex-wife had donated to Hillary Clinton’s Senate campaign.â€
in 2004, Comey, then serving as a deputy attorney general in the Justice Department, limited the criminal investigation of Sandy Berger so as to protect anyone in the former Clinton administration who may have coordinated with Berger in his removal and destruction of classified records from the National Archives.The documents Berger purloined from the Archives in his socks are believed to have contained incriminating evidence linking the Clinton administration to the terrorist build-up in the United States that culminated in the 9/11 terrorist attack.
"Now comes a study from the George Mason University Center for Media and Public Affairs that demonstrates empirically that PolitiFact.org, one of the nation's leading "fact checkers," finds that Republicans are dishonest in their claims three times as often as Democrats. "PolitiFact.com has rated Republican claims as false three times as often as Democratic claims during President Obama's second term," the Center said in a release, "despite controversies over Obama administration statements on Benghazi, the IRS and the AP.""
When you have a closed door meeting, and there are no other witnesses, it's going to be one person's word over the other. Now it's going to be up to the committee to sort it out. The court of public opinion is moot.
If you believed every "leaked" story by a "source" , then you should believe this one.
"'The atmosphere at the FBI has been toxic ever since Jim announced last July that he wouldn't recommend an indictment against Hillary,' said the source, a close friend who has known Comey for nearly two decades, shares family outings with him, and accompanies him to Catholic mass every week."
"'Some people, including department heads, stopped talking to Jim, and even ignored his greetings when they passed him in the hall,' said the source. 'They felt that he betrayed them and brought disgrace on the bureau by letting Hillary off with a slap on the wrist.'"

Veteran FBI agents say FBI Director James Comey has permanently damaged the bureau’s reputation for uncompromising investigations with his “cowardly” whitewash of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s mishandling of classified information using an unauthorized private email server.
[…]
But agents say Comey tied investigators’ hands by agreeing to unheard-of ground rules and other demands by the lawyers for Clinton and her aides that limited their investigation.
“In my 25 years with the bureau, I never had any ground rules in my interviews,” said retired agent Dennis V. Hughes, the first chief of the FBI’s computer investigations unit.
[…]
Agreed retired FBI agent Michael M. Biasello: “Comey has singlehandedly ruined the reputation of the organization.”
The accommodations afforded Clinton and her aides are “unprecedented,” Biasello added, “which is another way of saying this outcome was by design.” He called Comey’s decision not to seek charges “cowardly.”

It doesn’t get any prettier either.
“The FBI has politicized itself, and its reputation will suffer for a long time,” Hughes said. “I hold Director Comey responsible.”

The story goes on with others expressing similar sentiments. And it’s completely understandable that they’d feel this way. Every decision Comey made leading up to his decision to not recommend the case to federal prosecutors has been virtually unprecedented in the FBI’s history. The federal law enforcement agency has been made yet another political tool under the Obama administration, and if Hillary Clinton wins in November, then it will keep being used as such.

Check your timeline.
On May 12th Trump tweeted that Comey “better hope that there are no ‘tapes’ of our conversations before he starts leaking to the press.”.
On May 16th the memo was leaked to the NYT.
Yep. Comey was scared that there MIGHT be tapes, so he wanted to get a jump on things to cover his backside. Going on the offensive can be better than being defensive.

Exactly. Sort of like keeping emails on a private server. His memo and notes were done while he was employed, therefore all of them are government property and NOT HIS TO LEAK.

Don't hold your breath for that one.

It appears he works for the Dems. He complied with Lynch's order (not "hope", not request, not suggestion, but direct order) to use the same terminology for Hillary's scandalous MATTER as the campaign was using. He said himself that he knew the purpose of that was to minimize the issue and that people would just forget about it. In effect, he became an extension of the Democrat campaign.
So, you think that by doing Lynch's bidding, he "works for the people of this country."
