FBI Director Comey

Quote: Nareed

If you have nothing to hide, then don't insist you've got nothing to hide while refusing to release any relevant documents related to the investigation. Again, so obvious even Donald trump should be able to see it. But it's obvious he doesn't.

While I greatly appreciate you informing me, on three separate occasions, that I am not under investigation...

The lady doth protest too much, methinks ...


A famous quote from Hamlet where Gertrude, Hamlet's mother, is complaining about an actress who seems to be protesting her innocence too loudly for an actual innocent person. Of course, Hamlet has written the lines of the play so that the PLAYER QUEEN is performing the same actions that Hamlet thinks his real life mother has done, murder his father and marry her brother in law.

Quote: PLAYER QUEEN

Nor earth to me give food, nor heaven light.
Sport and repose lock from me day and night.
To desperation turn my trust and hope.
An anchor’s cheer in prison be my scope.
Each opposite that blanks the face of joy
Meet what I would have well and it destroy.
Both here and hence pursue me lasting strife
If, once a widow, ever I be wife!

Quote: AZDuffman

I have seen the fictional ones from day one, from the same people who brought you the polls saying he had no chance to win. YAWN.

Rasmussen shows him with the same patterns as Obama.

You really should find a hobby other than Trump hating.

Is Rasmussen that much different than the other pollsters?

For his disapproval ratings, Rasmussen currently has him at 54%, which is precisely where NBC and CNN have him. ABC, Gallup, and CBS have him at 53% disapproval, a negligible difference from Rasmussen.

Trump's made it clear no one's job is safe. (except maybe his children)

All you eventually get is a bunch of yes men or women around him or ones that pretend to speak their mind.

Comey has declined to testify before the Senate Intelligence Committee next week.

He is apparently open to testifying, but wants it to be in an open session (next week would have been a closed session).

Donald must be shitting his pants.

I believe Comey would be subject to prosecution if he lies before Congress. Something Trump doesn't have to worry about. YET!

Should be VERY interesting.

The last 4 days in the car I turn
on NPR for a few minutes and
every time all they talk about is
Comey. lol It's a national crisis,
apparently. Yet polls are saying
the only people who care are
the press, who nobody is
listening to. Has to be the most
over blown story is a long time.

Saw a montage of Dems calling
for Comey's head, some very
recently. Hippo-Frickin-Crites.

Curious.... I saw a montage of you complaining about Obama's golfing and vacation expenses...

It's like Peggy Noonan said today, Comey
is a huge story inside the press and a big
yawner for the country. We remember
when the Dems were screaming for Comey's
head, the press thinks we're idiots.

A former FBI administrator for 25 years said
today if there was any evidence at all of
Trump and Russia colluding, it would have
been leaked long ago. And with Comey
being fired, this week there would have
been a dozen FBI leaks with the evidence.
Instead we heard the sound of crickets
because they don't have squat.

But hey, get a special prosecutor. They're
kinda pricey, though. The cheapest one
was $40mil and that was 20 years ago.
Today you're talking $100mil easy, and
it's all for nothing, because the Dems are
still in denial of losing the election.

I'd love to see righties start that line of attack...

The easy rebuttal is: "And how much have taxpayers spent flying the Trump kids around the world over the past four months?"

If Golden Boy canceled all future golfing outings, there'd be money to pay all the special prosecutors necessary to oversee the rest of his term.

Really, I fail to see why the need for a special prosecutor isn't' obvious:

1) The attorney general had to recuse himself from the Trump campaign investigation.
2) Golden Boy fired the guy heading said investigation.
3) Comey is alleged to have been fired in part by a memo written by the deputy attorney general, who also happened to be the person overseeing the Trump campaign investigation. Ergo he ought to recuse himself from any further part of the investigation.

And that's why there's a need fro someone independent from the people being investigated to take charge of the matter.
