No one cares about her anymore. What is this obsession you all have with her?
Why? What?!!!

Who cares about her? She's done. Soon to be visiting your nearest casino theatre. Or Branson, Missouri.

She's LITERALLY an also-ran. A public figure ("actress") who has aged out of her niche. Why can't you just move on? What about her stupid emails is so poisonous to you? Do you not care that Russia was in bed with Trump? That Kushner is selling US citizenship for a mere $500,000 dollars from the Chinese?

That he doesn't have the slightest idea what he thinks until he either reads it on Twitter, or sees himself say it on TV?

How are you okay with that?

Nice continued parrotting of the talking heads. You do know Clinton just started setting up a Super PAC to continue interfering in the Country's business? Oh, and her constant selling of access wihle Secretary of State criminally FAR outweighs the non-supported collusion rumors (Trump-Russia).

No, her stupid emails don't matter. SHE doesn't matter. Trump/Russia is a thing, and no matter how much you try to shush those of us who are actually paying attention and don't care about Hillary. "Talking heads" indeed. TRUMP's team colluded with RUSSIA, who interfered with our election. That is a FACT.

They just did it in France, too - so there's that. That thing. That was thwarted because we KNOW THEY DID IT TO US.

Trump will be impeached, and none too soon.
Hillary isn't the POTUS! Get over it!! Trump is far, far more dangerous.

Stockholm Syndrome - that's what you all are suffering from. You just can't digest the fact that Trump is just as bad (nay, WORSE) than anything you could have imagined. He's a fail. A big fat orange-tinged FAIL and a LIAR and he LIED TO YOU and you believed all his stupid claims were really going to happen.

Snake oil salesman, and only an average one. But you all fell for it.
You are to blame for this. YOU, if you voted for this idiot.

Question: How long would you stay in a relationship with a person you had fancied once you discovered that EVERYTHING they said was a lie? That they NEVER would have been able to build you a castle shiny wall, or round up every person with brown skin and ship them out? That they only want rich scumbags who ruined our economy in high-up positions?

HOW LONG are you willing to stay in that relationship? Is it just your foolish pride? I know it smarts. It hurts, and it sucks to be violated like that. I've been in positions like that - and it's shocking to realize what the person said and what they really are a two very different things.

So sad that there are so very many of you....so foolish to vote for a lying unprepared braggart who can't complete an entire sentence.

This video explains how we see you. Every single one of you who voted for this ridiculous excuse for a competent leader.

I'm not even joking when I say you should seek psychiatric help.

I don't care how many times you or the media repeat there is Trump Russian collusion - No real evidence has been presented.

(A) Presenting evidence comes after investigations are concluded. Look it up...seriously...it's how it works.
(B) The evidence that has leaked or been uncovered by reporters is a mountain.
(C) Why did Flynn resign again?
(D) Why is the WH trying to interfere with hearings and investigations...whilst refusing to co-operate with document requests?
(E) Why did Michael Flynn ask for Immunity to testify?

Clapper, and even Pelosi have admitted there is no evidence, you have so much cognitive dissonance you will not even accept it when people on your own side tell you there is nothing to the charges.

Clapper said he was unaware and he has been out of office for almost 5 months. He also said he had no idea the FBI had it's investigation going for months before he resigned.

What clapper NEVER SAID was that there "was no evidence"...he said he hadn't personally seen any evidence before he left months ago..

You should work on either honesty or comprehension...whichever failed you there with that BS.

Also this:

“I’m told that as soon as Rosenstein arrived, there was a request for additional resources for the investigation and that a few days afterwards, he was sacked,” said Mr. Durbin, a Democrat of Illinois. “I think the Comey operation was breathing down the neck of the Trump campaign and their operatives, and this was an effort to slow down the investigation.”

In his briefing with members of Congress, Mr. Comey said he had been frustrated with the amount of resources being dedicated to the Russia investigation, according to two of the officials

Mr. Comey has said he was hoping that he would find a supportive boss in Mr. Rosenstein, and according to the officials, pressed for more resources so he could accelerate the investigation, which is also examining possible collusion between Trump associates and the Russian interference campaign. It was unclear how Mr. Rosenstein reacted to the request, or whether the White House was informed of it

Days Before Firing, Comey Asked for More Resources for Russia Inquiry

So what they, the FBI, think about it is important and not just up to the jury to conclude.

That's the point I was trying to make.

It is just up to the jury to conclude. It's why we have the presumption of innocence and a judicial system.

Anyone else notice the, most likely, coincidence in the letter given to Comey? The first letters on the left, from top to bottom. Take the first letter - I, the 5,6,7 letter W I N.

I WIN

I suppose you're right. Meanwhile back to this thread's topic..


Comey in CLOSED session this coming Tuesday 5/16/2017.

MSM is sooooo agitated that they won't ever know much about what Comey says, LOL.

If Bill Clinton had fired the FBI director?

Oh wait, he did,

The next day Vince Foster turns up dead.

Who cared then?

100% false equivalence....the FBI director under Clinton was fired for gross negligence, and illegal use of FBI funds....there is no comparison...any 8 year old could have typed that subject into google and found out. apparently you are too lazy to do so.

When it comes to the court, yes. But what the FBI and others think is important when determining if it will even go in front of a court.

..and Comey was fired for over stepping his remit.
Same outcome.

Has Comey accepted the invitation to testify?

FBI Directors do not take the lead in active investigations. They appoint senior Special Agents who are the one who actually conduct the investigation along with other agents.

The Director gets his daily briefings from the lead agents on whatever/whomever they are investigating in the SIOC at FBI HQ.

Firing Comey will have no bearing on any FBI investigations currently underway, although it may re-open the Clinton classified email case now that Lynch is gone.

I will wait to see who he replaces Comey with before making any sort of judgement.

That's right. Hence Rosenstein's assessment:

The goal is to determine whether there is sufficient evidence to justify a federal criminal prosecution, then allow a federal prosecutor who exercises authority delegated by the Attorney General to make a prosecutorial decision, and then - if prosecution is warranted - let the judge and jury determine the facts.

No one said otherwise.

He still couldn't talk about anything classified, so it would be the same ole thing.

FBI investigates...then makes a recommendation to prosecute or not prosecute (Indict or not)..
THEN trial and the jury decides.
Investigations that investigators feel do not warrant charges or indictment...do not result in charges or indictment...thus do not end up in front of juries to decide innocence or guilt..

Let me know if you are still confused..

He could answer in a closed door session with those present having the proper security clearance.

Yes law enforcement can recommend prosecute or dont prosecute however ultimate authority resides with the prosecutor assigned and not law enforcement.

Law Enforcement roles is SOLELY investigatory.

Exactly. The whole "Trump fired him to protect himself from the Russia investigation" narrative is a straight up LIE being perpetuated by people in Congress who know for a fact this is not how the FBI works and have no problem lying to their voters. The sad part is their voters are lapping it up, even though the factual information proving it wrong is publicly available.

Right but my question was whether or not he accepted the invitation to testify.

a reply to: RickinVa

It better not be a god damn politician. Christi or Giuliani being tapped for the Director's chair is asinine.

Sheriff David Clarke is the best option by far. He's an experienced cop, not a politician. That's what we need. If Christie or Giuliani get the Director's chair no one can ever chant "drain the swamp' ever again... as if Trump's cabinet isn't full of bankers and trade insiders any way.

a reply to: LesMisanthrope

I was not referring to his statement. I was referring to yours.

Anyway, I think I have a better understanding of what you posted and I am looking at it the wrong way. I think we agree overall.

This isn't always true. Look at the Baltimore cops that got railroaded by that scumbag DA trying to make a name for herself when the investigation wasn't even finished.
