Jay Sekulow, a member of President Trump’s legal team and Chief Counsel of the American Center for Law and Justice, discusses ousted FBI Director James Comey’s testimony with Clinton media operative George Stephanopoulos.
When fired FBI Director James Comey testified to congress he admitted to telling President-Elect Donald Trump, and President Donald Trump, three times, he was never under investigation.
FBI Director Comey told President-elect Trump on January 6th he was not under investigation; Comey again told President Trump on January 27th he was not under investigation; and again on February 15th Director Comey told President Trump he was not under investigation.
However, more importantly, James Comey also admitted he told congressional leadership the exact same thing, repeatedly. Specifically, James Comey stated he informed: •Paul Ryan, •Nancy Pelosi, •Mitch McConnell, •Chuck Schumer, •Devin Nunes, •Adam Schiff, •Richard Burr, •Dianne Feinstein and •Mark Warner.
James Comey personally told Republican and Democrat leadership, and both the Senate and House intelligence committees, that President Trump was not under investigation.
Think about that for a minute.
During a short CNN broadcasted segment a panel of Ohio voters were asked about their impressions of fired FBI Director James Comey’s testimony to congress.
Unfortunately for CNN the panel exhibits the oft undervalued common sense of the American electorate. This sample is representative of what I call ‘reverse-gruberism‘: People who are firmly grounded in ordinary common sense who can see through the obfuscation and BS of the professional political class.
Oh, this is transparently suspicious. But don’t anticipate the media to point out that transparently innocent people do not need to duck for cover.
The Columbia University professor, Daniel Richman, that fired FBI Director James Comey utilized as the go-between to provide leaks to the media, has gone into hiding.
According to the New York Post Mr. Richman headed out of town mid-day on Thursday just as FBI Director James Comey told congress than his friend was utilized to feed leaks to the New York Times.
New York – A Columbia University professor from Brooklyn went into hiding Thursday after pal James Comey revealed during his Senate testimony that the man leaked memos detailing the former FBI chief’s conversations with President Trump to the press.
Daniel Richman confirmed by e-mail to several reporters that he was the “good friend” and law-school prof who Comey slipped the documents — then hightailed it out of his tony Brooklyn Heights home and refused to answer any more questions. (more)
It is absolutely certain that James Comey and Daniel Richman will quickly need to coordinate their stories because the information that Comey gave to congress just doesn’t match with the timeline of events he described. This is a classic set-up.
After watching James Comey and crew (Brennan, Yates, Clapper, etc.) testify for more than 11 months (July ’16 through June ’17), hopefully we don’t have to see any of their faces broadcasting false narratives on TV again. That said, here’s the top five facts that showcase how badly James Comey politicized the FBI:
Number FIVE – James Comey stated under oath, and included in his written statement, that it was his decision to speak alone, one-on-one to President-Elect Trump on January 6th in Trump Tower as Comey asked everyone else to leave the briefing. Comey held no issues with a private conversation with the incoming President.
However, a month later on February 14th, in the oval office, when President Trump asked everyone to leave the room for a one-on-one, James Comey testifies it was “inappropriate” for a private conversation.
Number FOUR – James Comey stated to congress on March 20th, he intentionally did not brief congressional intelligence oversight/leadership of the counterintelligence investigation, that began in July 2016, until March 2017. He intentionally kept congress in the dark. (more…)
Senator Marco Rubio questions fired FBI Director James Comey and discovers President Trump doesn’t know the politically correct order of operations when approaching a request to get beyond hyper-partisan politicized investigative nonsense; which led to Comey instructing Trump orbit how the chain of political command works in DC; which led to President Trump agreeing the investigation should be carried out thoroughly and entirely because he wants to get this ridiculous investigative cloud off his back so he can get back to doing the work he was elected to do; and President Trump wants anyone connected to Russia improperly to be discovered so he can get rid of them and move on.
Shocker. O-M-G bigly scandal. ie. ‘nothingburger’.
Good grief is this man absorbed with his own need for attention.
Fired FBI Director James Comey admitted today that he was a direct source for leaking information to the media through a friend of his, a professor at Columbia University.
This behavior clearly indicates that James Comey was a political animal first and foremost, who politicized and weaponized the FBI to his own personal and institutional benefit.
Ousted FBI Director James Comey will testify today at 10:00am EDT before the Senate intelligence committee. The much anticipated and heavily promoted testimony is being broadcast live on just about every cable news network and we have a few livestream options below:
UPDATE: Full Video Added
On March 20th, 2017 a young freshman representative from New York named Elise M. Stefanik used a probative timeline to question FBI Director James Comey. Using simple common sense Ms. Stefanik single-handily exposed a significant level of intentional intelligence community deception yet no-one seemed to notice.
In the segment of the questioning (video below) Rep. Stefanik begins by asking director Comey what are the typical protocols, broad standards and procedures for notifying the Director of National Intelligence, the White House and senior congressional leadership (aka the intelligence Gang of Eight), when the FBI has opened a counter-intelligence investigation.
The response from Comey is a generalized reply (with uncomfortable body language) that notification of counter-intel investigations are discussed with the White House, and other pertinent oversight officials, on a calendar basis, ie. “quarterly”.
With the statement that such counterintelligence notifications happen “generally quarterly”, and against the backdrop that Comey stated in July of 2016 a counter-intel investigation began, Stefanik asks:
…”when did you notify the White House, the DNI and congressional leadership”?
BOOM! Watch an extremely uncomfortable Director James Comey outright LIE… by claiming there was no active DNI to notify -which is entirely false- James Clapper was Obama’s DNI. (more…)
Continuing to point out some of the more brutally obvious motives, intents and contradictions of fired FBI Director James Comey the paragraphs on Page #4 showcase the ridiculous political games that Comey was playing with the Trump administration.
First, again for emphasis, by their own testimony the intelligence community (Clapper, Brennan and Comey himself) have admitted the entire basis for initiating the ‘Trump Campaign Angle’ into the counterintelligence investigation was the now debunked “Russian Dossier“; delivered to Comey by Republican Senator John McCain in 2016.
As admitted by the IC, and leaked to the media, the Russian Dossier was the documented evidence that underpinned the FBI FISA court warrant applications for CIA/NSA Trump Campaign surveillance and unmasking of the persons therein respectively. Without the Russian Dossier the FBI counter intelligence team had no basis for the FISA court warrants targeting Trump campaign people. Now read this:
The audacity of Comey here is jaw-dropping. He admits in his statements both on January 6th, and again on January 27th, the entire premise of the Russian Dossier is bogus, hence: “prove a negative”, and yet unbeknownst to President Trump this is the same evidence the FBI and Comey’s own investigative unit utilized to expand the Russian Election hacking/interference narrative into the Trump campaign, and gain FISA warrants therein. Without the Dossier the Trump-Russia conspiracy narrative doesn’t exist.
Think about it.
To the President’s face Comey is saying the Russian Dossier is a nothingburger. But behind his back Comey is using the bogus Dossier to gain FISA warrants against people who were part of the campaign and administration. Yet Comey clutches his pearls at the thought of being asked for loyalty?
Yeah. Again, think about it.
