Comey has trouble understanding Ratcliffe’s letter. How was I able to understand it?
Comey lives the Mamet Principle (pretending not to know things)…. You don’t….
Because you want to understand it! Comey doesn’t want to, but he too also understands it as you know. My least favorite part of all of this is all of this.
So they have just decided to reinsert the russian interference, leaving out the part about several anti-American Americans did the recruiting for this bullshit dossier and the alleged russian interference is a jackwagon russian guy living in the DISTRICT OF CRIMINALS.
Sorry, not shouting, I just find that the last part of the second paragraph kind of important. I find lindsey’s latest display of fake anger and incredulity to be just as sickening as the last time too.
He’s a prep@witness…himself.no specifics, just general dicta.
He’s no patriots
He’s a four flusher.
The purpose of this hearing is to:
1. Get re-elected. Graham is in an unexpectedly tough race, so he will be tougher on Comey
2. Protect the status quo. In the end, he will have no follow-thru on anything revealed today.
This hearing will be a nothing-burger.
ANY HEARING conducted in public is a nothingburger other than for soundbites.
For some reason, I think Team Lindsey has identified Comey as the fall guy. Assuming they cause anyone to fall, which at this time, doesn’t look too promising.
As I’ve said before – Jim Comey hides behind “I can’t recall…”
Though I think he just said an explicit No to a question. Can’t remember what it was. Should look at the transcript – that may be an explicit lying to congress charge right there.
Comey- The buck does not stop here….. know nothing.
And like every other Senate republican hearing it’ll be mentally over by lunch, with nothing happening. Kind of like last night’s debate too.
It seems Comey has no problems whatsoever with Feinstein’s questions. None.
If there is anyone that I want to see end up in solitary confinement in some Super max prison, it’s this piece of Human Scum, Comey. His total corruption is only exceeded by his smug arrogance.
Funny that as soon as Chi Fi Di starts in with her crap, he suddenly gets his memory back.
Comey is a bag man for Hillary from way back, so yeah…
I’m not so sure. I think Comey gathered and hid the dirt on Hillary for his own use. The e-mails, Clinton Crime Family Foundation, U1, et cetera gave him a lot of leverage had she been, as he fully expected, been elected President. Blackmail is far superior to cash when you need some favors.
I think he tried to do\ the same to President Trump with the dossier.. I think that’s why Trump fired his corrupt ass soon after that meeting where the dossier was disclosed.
I sympathize with you, Seneca . . . but that’s not the correct answer. My list of the Top Four Traitors Who Should Be Hung From The Gallows . . . Obama, Brennan, Weissmann, Warner . . . still holds firm.
Good start, but your Gallows list is far too short.
Add SchiffForBrains, Strzok, Comey, and Sullivan to the list…
The gallows only has room for four ropes at a time.
Comey appears to me to be answering several questions by referring to Horowitz’s report instead of straight from what should be his (comeys) own knowledge, makes me wonder if Horowitz purposefully worded it to provide “outs” for perps.
Horowitz put TONS of gratuitous and unnecessary remarks in his report. The one I refer to is “found no documentary or testimonial evidence that bias affected …”
Horowitz job is to find a fall guy and otherwise protect corruption. When the system is corrupt, he must, at all costs, protect the system. He is skilled at this. He knows his part in “the system” very well. He defended ICIG Atkinson working out of his jurisdiction in order to advance a sham impeachment.
Comey disagreeing with Grassley’s preamble, so won’t answer. Similar to Biden, Pelosi and others refusing to answer.
Good switch up. Did you have any obligation to look into allegations Hillary was colluding with Russians?
Comey answers that he doesn’t understand the Ratcliffe letter.
Feinstein uses Manafort as justification to open counterinelligence investigation. This is change from Papadopolus and Page as justification.
Fienstain says “O’Biden.” Deep state working on the myth that FBI is a fourth branch of government, independent of POTUS.
Wasn’t Steele on the FBI payroll?
The Fan Belt Inspectors know nothing, see nothing, hear nothing.
Any moment now . . . Lindsey is going to say, “We’re going to do everything we can to find out who murdered Seth Rich!”
President Trump must abolish the F.B.I. Theres no reforming it. It’s time has come and gone. Perhaps it should have never been.
If memory serves, the history of the FBI is rooted in organized crime that local and state officials were unable to bring to heel. And much of that organized crime was rooted in “vices” such as alcohol. While prohibition is long gone, we continue to wage other “wars” that, while noble in principle, have resulted in very serious tradeoffs for individual and property rights.
They were corrupt when J Edgar was in charge, and they are much worse now – just another unaccountable bureaucracy working for its own survival and growth rather than for its original mission. Except they have a lot of guns and an entire judicial branch standing behind them.
Long way of saying – I AGREE, they need to be abolished. we have other ways of dealing with criminal elements now, IMO. If we really need some entity to fight enemies within, terrorism, etc… reconstitute and restrict its mandate into a new agency.
If only he would, but no, he continues to spout the hack was by the Russians, despite all expert IT analysis that the e-mails were stolen internally, most likely by Seth Rich.
I would not be sad if Graham lost his senate race, IF his seat was offset by an election gain elsewhere in the senate.
Without a doubt, Comey has THE MOST punchable smug face in history…and I’m not a violent person! ARGHHHHHH!
You’d really have to punch up.
Sorry… that still belongs to John Brennan.
Peter Strozcky? 🙂
Seems like an fng waste of time. Effort would be better spent lighting fires under durham/aldenberg asses.
So we will see Comey agree with every ludicrous claim by the Dems and conveniently not know anything when questioned by the Republicans.
Waste of time.
Just like Mueller’s not in my purview
Flynn DIDN’T lie to the FBI.
And General Flynn is still in court and jeopardy after 4 years. And this Comey (was going to say scum but Comey is worse) is out free living on a huge taxpayer pension. White hot anger doesn’t begin to describe.
cruz did decent job pointing out that either mccabe or comey lied to congress.
his next sentence should have been: and how is it that roger stone and general flynn were charged with false statements or lying for immaterial matters, while you and /or mccabe have not?
Leahy, on remote, is overdriving his microphone and preamp – terrible sound quality. In his defense, he’s on the sending end and has no way to assess the quality of what the listener is receiving.
I have work to do.
Comey is throwing people under the bus by saying he wasn’t informed about anything.
If he wasn’t told, someone beneath him screwed up. The someone(s) beneath him, who’s job it was to inform him, will contradict that testimony. They don’t have a choice.
Who should we call to find out of we are still paying the D.C. expenses for these CongressCritters who stay home and campaign all year, in an election year, refusing to do any work for We The People.
Comey answers to republicans , I do not recall. What A P0S! Worst fbi director in history!
Once again, the Dems have managed to screw the dopey Repubs and turn the hearing into a campaign ad for Hidem. I am sick and tired beyond words of the weakness, stupidity and incompetence of so many Reps who are supposed to be on OUR side.
This hearing should have been a home run for our President. The evidence of Comey’s criminal conduct is overwhelming. This could have been professionally scripted but no- the Repubs just let the Dems walk all over them.
They aren’t on our side. They are globalist hacks in it for personal enrichment. They play an acting role, and by golly it works to fool quite a bit of the public that the federal government is a healthy functioning set of institutions.
In the context of your remark, the “dopey GOP” do this in part to give their fake oppoents a venue to attack the common outsider enemy – Trump and the public.
Those forces are stifling the plunder that the government could otherwise accomplish.
cboldt??
Yes, the R’s are not stupid or weak, they are complicit. Uniparty is all we have.
That is exactly what is happening. Graham is allowing the Dems to engage in a free for all, and to talk about anything else other than FBI criminality.
Comey even received an opportunity to give his personal opinion and offer his spin on testimony from the Flynn hearing YESTERDAY!
Niagara- I have to have my barf bag close by the longer I watch this s** show. What a disgrace.
Perhaps James Commie will throw Vladimir Brennan under the bus today. He seems to be their fall guy in all of this.
Leahy – never questioned Comey’s integrity or commitment to the country.
Uses his time to slime Trump. Russian bounties for killing US troops, etc.
Comey says he doesn’t know that Trump is cozy with Russi, but can’t think of any other explanation based on the way Trump speaks and acts toward Russia.
Leahy accuses Ratcliffe of selectively revealing information in order to affect politics.
It’s been just the opposite, the FBI and the DOJ have been holding back this information because it didn’t fit their narrative. That’s not our fault, we would have loved to have had this information 4 years ago!!!
So the GOP is giving Comey this platform to continue to subvert the President of the USA with false allegations that Russia has something on Trump?
Goodness gracious!
Comey asserts that no foreign nation wants us to relect Trump. Asks the audience to stop and think about that for a moment.
Asked about Flynn case, Comey signs on to Gleeson’s view.
Of course they don’t. They had a free ATM to pull money from at our expense anytime they wanted. Then all of the sudden POTUS comes in and puts a maximum withdrawal limit on all transactions. Why would they want that to continue?
Flynn must have really been a threat to these snakes!
all of their hubris and stupidity let them realize they’re all toast because Flynn is a patriot and he had them all. All of their schicanery is on the record and they’ll stop at nothing to hide it.
Tl;dr
At precisely 10:52 AM on December 3rd 2016 I had a breakfast comprised of double avocado toast with a blend of Colombian dark coffee. Total amount was $11.68. I added a $2.32 tip. I don’t recall anything that has to do with the Trump-Russia investigation.
Uniparty at work…
Cornyn is as worthless as Confederate money. How do Texans keep sending this useless pile of protoplasm back to the senate?
1.) Money & incumbency. It takes MANY millions to run & win.
2.) Texas’ GOP is full of GOPe’s.
Hoping Allen West will be changing the entire climate.
Cornyn limits his “FISA issues” preface to Carter Page / Clinesmith, skipping the public release of FISC opinions that state findings of abuse of blanket surveillance.
Durbin tries to use personal debt as per se a risk to national security. Citing NYT report that Trump has 400 million in personal debt.
Dick Durbin, Does “5 years old” mean the lies, ‘treason’, abuse of power and thieves do not matter?
So this is the new tact – Trump owes 450 M so he is a security risk and will be using his office. Give me a break.
There was no ‘evidence of any personal’ debt of PT only the NYT article based on a secret non-factual source, that Durban quoted. Sadly, the Trump Organization and President Trump a personal citizen are constantly spun up in IC’s blender, for the political benefit of the left.
We really need to make Jim Jordan a Senator. Maybe then we could have a Senator who knows how to follow-up with the non-answers of someone like Comey.
To replace Sherrod Brown… a real Lefty who somehow keeps getting reelected.
….”PICKED UP up by the specail council” , James Comey???
As though the special council already existed
Democrats make a mockery of the Republicans, again, and Comey’s memory is oh so poor.
The commies are great at furthering their agenda. They never miss an opportunity. They are gaining more from this show than are the uniparty commies.
Graham is doing a decent job. The other uniparty commie pubs are useless.
Same will happen at the SCOTUS hearings. The whole confirmation process by the commies will be a campaign rally to bash PTrump and promote Biden and their agenda. I don’t think they will attack Barret that much. They know she is going to be confirmed. So, they will use the process to their advantage. Just like this show we are currently watching.
President Trump is the only person who has given Comey what he deserved, an unceremonious firing.

Right – they will say 2016/FISA/Coup is all old news. The only thing that matters is the 2020 election and all their talking points will be targeted at energizing Biden’s base or demoralizing Trump’s base.
Last night in the debate biden was quoting wray’s new Russian threat canard, and now two dem senaters are doing the same thing. That resister wray is doing his best to get some damage done before he gets fired, not seen anyware any description of what exactly the threats are .
Where is the liability of the Judges????
Judges have absolute immunity.

The FISA System in its current state needs to be blown up!
So, no Mr. Stay Tuned, I’m not aligned.
They are insulting us if they think they can keep the same process that they used to spy on and/or blackmail US citizens and political opponents.
LG = AH (the H stands for hole)
as I’m listening to the committee’s testimony, I find myself questioning “does anything useful ever get accomplished for the American people when senators are more interested in giving speeches and leading questions designed solely to affect the outcome of the election rather than getting to the actual truth of spygate.
I will raise you one – does our Federal Government serve ANY purpose at this point, other than stealing from us and insulting our intelligence?
Durbin and Comey cooperate to slam Barr as Trump’s todie.
Graham admits he protected Mueller.
He goes on to restate that his focus is to protect the FISA system. He is astounded that Director of FBI is unaware of mistakes below. Give me a break – that is not a realistic position give 4,000 FISA applications per year. Minions can of course get away with shenanigans. So can the people at the top. Decision by committee, nobody is responsible.
He asks how can we trust the system. Idiot. We can’t. That’s why there are checks and balances, and no matter what the system is, people will skirt it.
Senator Lee – this guy is a big phoney, senator Google representing Punjab, India. The power exercised under FISA exists independent of FISA, and the make-work tracks left by FISA are rarely used for the purpose the system exists – to facilitate export of counterintelligence snoop to prosecution of a crime.
Lee working from same fallacy that top guy has the power to control the minions in charge of 4,000 warrants a year.
More show wringing of hands. Puke.
Mike Lee is “disappointed?” Boo f***** hoo.
Mike Lee, Just come ought and tell Comey he was and is corrupt and is a liar.
For starters: Tell Comey that the law must be implemented for his abuses of power , continued lies and the millions of dollars all of that cost.
To me this sounds like a riddle: why would the subject of a criminal investigation testify in an open hearing about his involvement? Because the subject is not under criminal investigation or has been eliminated as a suspect.
Mike Lee “that’s terrific that we share that view, there’s something we can build on!” …. WTF is going on? Lee sounds like a fifth grader at a mock trial in civics class….
comey needs to be incarcerated for treason

Come on Ratcliff, cook Sheldon Whitehouse’s goose.
>Release documents by the file-box.
Ha! “Gleeson”, Whitehouse?
The “established fact,” Mr. Whitehouse, is that President Trump did not collude with Russia, Russia, Russia!
