Comey Fired

Some called for his resignation or firing. But Obama did not fire him. Obama respected the independence of the FBI. I do not recall Hillary Clinton ever suggesting, requesting or demanding that James Comey be fired.

Fast forward several months to this week. Donald Trump fires James Comey and releases a so called recommendation from the Deputy AG stating that the reason for the firing was Comey's handling of the Clinton email investigation.

Everyone in the administration, including the vice president, doubled down on this. Democrats were understandably not convinced. They felt that Comey was fired because the investigation into the ties between Russia and the Trump campaign was getting too close to Trump.

Then came the Lester Holt interview in which Trump threw his own administration completely under the bus. He said in clear, plain English that he knew there was nothing to the Russia/Trump business; therefore he fired Comey to bring that investigation closer to a conclusion. Or, to put it another way, the only one who knows if Trump is innocent or guilty is Trump and no one else should be able to decide on that guilt or innocence.

That is classic obstruction of justice. As is the very act of asking the director of the FBI if he (Trump) is under investigation.

The left have evolved from totally deranged to full blown bat shit crazy.

Fearless Leader thinks Trump is a two term president. I doubt that he will finish his first term.

The left have come full circle from totally deranged to full bat shit crazy.

The Story of Mr. McArthur Wheeler

http://awesci.com/the-astonishingly-...rthur-wheeler/

On one fine morning in Pittsburgh (PA), in the year 1995, a man aged 44, known by the name McArthur Wheeler decided to rob a bank. Since he thought he knew a lot about a peculiar chemical property of lemon juice, he decided to smear the juice on his face before executing his plan to rob the bank.
His logic – As lemon juice can be used to write invisible letters that become visible only when the letter is held close to a heat source, he thought, the same thing would work on his face too. By smearing lemon juice all over his face, he thought that his face would become invisible to the security cameras at the bank. He did not just think that, he was pretty confident about this. He even checked his “trick” by taking a selfie with a polaroid camera. I’m not sure if the film was defective, or the camera wasn’t operated properly, but the camera did give him a blank image. The blank image made him absolutely sure that this trick would work. Or he would not have ever dared to rob a bank with lemon juice on his face.

Big deal. Yet another liberal with an unearned "prize". He and Algore and Obama can sit in a coffee shop and try to figure out why their agendas have failed

If you don't see his jealousy, pity you. Then again from the tone of your posts about Trump, I already have

Does that mean you think Trump is a d*#k? We certainly agree on that.

Pulling back the curtain on a charlatan isn't jealousy, it's a public service.

Yes, 17 intelligence agencies really did say Russia was behind hacking

Joint Statement from the Department Of Homeland Security and Office of the Director of National Intelligence on Election Security
Release Date:
October 7, 2016

http://thefederalist.com/2017/04/06/...016-elections/

"The truth is that all 17 U.S. intelligence agencies did not conclude that Russia tried to interfere in the election or help Trump win. Not even close."

"U.S. intelligence agencies issued two assessments on Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. The first was an October 7 statement by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that said WikiLeaks disclosures of Democratic emails during the election were “consistent with the methods and motivations of Russian-directed efforts” but did not say there was any evidence of Russian involvement."

"Moreover, although this statement said the U.S. intelligence community held this position, the memo was issued by only two agencies, and was called a “Joint DHS and ODNI Election Security Statement.” "

"Like the October memo, congressional Democrats and the news media have said this was the unanimous conclusion of all 17 U.S. intelligence agencies. But also like the October memo, this was not the case. The January 6 assessment was an “Intelligence Community Assessment.” Such analyses are usually issued and cleared by most if not all U.S. intelligence agencies and have a statement on the first page that usually reads “this is an IC-coordinated assessment.”"

"The January 6 Intelligence Community Assessment lacked such a statement because it reflected the views of only three U.S. intelligence agencies: Central Intelligence Agency, Federal Bureau of Investigation, and National Security Agency. The CIA and FBI concluded with high confidence that Russia intervened in the election to help Trump win. NSA concluded this with moderate confidence."

I will take on all comers.

You can hold the money. Let me know where to send it.

My guess she was visiting her lawyers, the possibility of her becoming a defendant in court has become very real.

Yes, in reality, it is.
You just do what is right and ignore politics.
That is called integrity, Dan....the left and press are not familiar with that.
