You don't think Comey is a patriot? Why not? Because he wants to learn the truth about Trump and his campaign's antics? Why does that bug you? You don't think an investigation is necessary?

Yeah, so what?
Comey IS a nut job.
Do you guys have any other responses other than parroting what comes out of the Presidents mouth?
This has been going on since he was running.........
Its like toadies on the school yard who just parrot whatever the bully says like they have no thoughts in their brains....
Do you have an original thought that doesnt have to pass through Trump first ?
Sean Spicer, the White House press secretary, did not dispute the account. In a statement, he said that Mr. Comey had put unnecessary pressure on the president’s ability to conduct diplomacy with Russia on matters such as Syria, Ukraine and the Islamic State. “By grandstanding and politicizing the investigation into Russia’s actions, James Comey created unnecessary pressure on our ability to engage and negotiate with Russia,” Mr. Spicer said. “The investigation would have always continued, and obviously, the termination of Comey would not have ended it. Once again, the real story is that our national security has been undermined by the leaking of private and highly classified conversations.”
Guess the next step is assassination, although I truly hope civil war breaks out if Trump is assassinated.

Its all good - whats the big deal? They were able to continue negotiations with the Russians. That is looking after American interests.

Why do you assume that secretly dealing with one of America's enemies would be "looking after American interests?" Trump's biography suggests he has never looked after anyone's interests but his own. The Russia scandal has, ironically, caused everyone to forget about his bogus charity foundation! The IRS needs to reopen that can of worms.
Was the 'Russian reset' a crime?
Many of the meetings were in secret, unless you have the transcripts of all conversations you can share with us?
Talking with other countries, even 'enemies' can most certainly help protect the American people.
Obviously. You seem hopelessly bought into the black and white narrative of "goodies" and "baddies". It's very child like.

Ask Vasa Crow.

If the meetings were in secret, how do you know about them?

Then why lie about it? Why fire the head of the FBI who is looking in to the "talk?"
Obviously. You seem hopelessly bought into the black and white narrative of "goodies" and "baddies". It's very child like.
And you are hopelessly bought into the narrative that anything that is bad for America is good for you. Your condescension reeks of desperation. You can see the Republic righting itself before it collapses into Trump's chaos.
Are you saying there were no meetings during the Russian reset? Presumably if nothing was secret then you have the full list of all meetings and communications.
The New START treaty is the successor to the START I. The START II was signed, but not ratified. The START III negotiating process was not successful.
The drafting of the treaty commenced in April 2009 immediately after the meeting between the presidents of the two countries, Barack Obama and Dmitry Medvedev, in London.[18] Preliminary talks were already held in Rome on 27 April,[19] although it was originally planned to have them held in the middle of May.[20]
Prolonged talks were conducted by U.S. and Russian delegations, led on the American side by U.S. State Department Assistant Secretary Rose Gottemoeller. The Russian delegation was headed by Anatoly Antonov, director of security and disarmament at the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.[21]
Talks were held on:
First round: 19–20 May 2009, Moscow[22]
Second round: 1–3 June 2009, Geneva[23]
Third round: 22–24 June 2009, Geneva[23]
Fourth round: 22–24 July 2009, Geneva[23]
Fifth round: 31 August–2 September 2009, Geneva[24]
Sixth round: 21–28 September 2009, Geneva[25][26]
Seventh round: 19–30 October 2009, Geneva[27]
Eighth round: 9 November 2009, Geneva[28]
On the morning of 6 July 2009, the agreement on the text of the "Joint Understanding on Further Reduction and Limitation of Strategic Offensive Arms" was announced,[29][30] which was signed by Medvedev and Obama during the US Presidential visit to Moscow the same day. The document listed the intention of both parties to reduce the number of nuclear warheads to 1,500–1,675 units, as well as their delivery weapons to 500–1,100 units.[31]
Presidents Obama and Medvedev announced on 26 March 2010 that they had reached an agreement, and they signed the treaty on 8 April 2010 in Prague.

There is a difference between "private" and "secret."
