James Comey

As Donald Trump watched the increasingly farcical testimony of James Comey before the Senate Intelligence Committee, one could almost feel an air of vindication about Trump’s prior statements.
The hearings have re-confirmed that Trump has never been and is not now under any sort of investigation and that furthermore, it was James Comey himself who leaked the contents of a personal memo detailing Trump’s private/personal views on the fate and reputation of former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn.

Stefan Molyneux cuts through soft phrases and innuendos to lay bare the contradictions and political bias that Comey unintentionally disclosed in his testimony. [...]

Now that the James Comey testimony has come to a conclusion and the mainstream liberal left media is crying impeachment for Trump uttering the words “I hope” to the former FBI director, here is a factual breakdown of what really took place yesterday during Comey’s bizarre testimony before congress, and why, after hearing the testimony, Trump was 100% correct in firing the FBI director.

By Robert Parry | Consortium News | June 8, 2017 So what were we watching in ex-FBI Director James Comey’s testimony on Thursday: an upright public servant punished for resisting a power-mad President or a participant in a political scheme to use the law as a way to overturn a U.S. presidential election? There was […]

One point I have already made about former FBI Director Comey’s testimony to the Senate Committee is the extremely poor quality of the questioning Comey was subjected to by its members.  However one particularly inept line of questions stands out: those asked by Senator John McCain of Arizona, who is not even a member of the Senate Committee but who was there by invitation.

(ANTIMEDIA) Like clockwork, the mainstream media is fervently focusing on a story filled with scandal and intrigue: James Comey’s testimony. Whether it’s a terror attack in the west, a celebrity tailspin, or a superficial drama like James Comey’s conversations in Congress today, when the media drives an obsessive narrative, there’s usually other events occurring.
“But Russia might have intervened with our democratic process!” some may retort. “Donald Trump is probably a criminal!”

Former FBI Director Comey has concluded the open part of his testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee.
The quality of the questioning – both by Republicans and Democrats  – struck me as extremely poor.  I found Comey’s written testimony to the Committee published yesterday far more informative than his answers today.

As the liberal left mainstream media was foaming at the mouth anticipating James Comey testifying that Trump had obstructed justice in some form during his testimony, what we did get is zero evidence of Trump obstruction, but of Hillary Clinton – Loretta Lynch obstruction.
It was an unexpected turn of events and now drags the Obama administration into the Trump witch hunt they helped orchestrate.
The former FBI Director detailed his interaction with Obama’s Attorney General Loretta Lynch about specific language used in the Clinton Email “investigation.”

James Comey has testified before the US Senate Intelligence Committee and finally came clean about the mysterious ‘Trump memo’ leaked to the New York Times which implicated Donald Trump in suggesting that in his personal opinion, the FBI ought to consider dropping what Trump felt was a non-case against former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn.
Comey justified his covert action by saying it was in the public good, but if Comey was so concerned about the public good why did he secretively leak the contents of his private memo rather than come forward publicly?
