Comey Under Oath: ‘Have Not Experienced Any Requests to Stop FBI Investigations’Perjury? McCabe too?

[Wry Catcher]

Nobody has seen any memo, it's the Slimes and Comey has an axe to grind.

Gee whiz people

Well, you're a nobody, but that means nothing. If Comey lied, he will lose credibility; Trump lies often and people like you don't make a big deal about it. Why is that?

By Penalty of Law, Comey is obliged to report anyone attempting to Obstruct Justice. He didn't because it never happened.

Not necessarily. Trump asking Comey to stop the Flynn investigation does not alone constitute obstruction, but if Trumps fires him after he refuses to stop the investigation, well that opens a can of worms.

 

[bodecea]

Both denied under oath that there had been any influence to stop the investigation into the Russian collusion investigation.

Comey:

“Not in my experience,” Comey responded. “Because it would be a big deal to tell the FBI to stop doing something that — without an appropriate purpose.”

“I mean where oftentimes they give us opinions that we don’t see a case there, and so you ought to stop investing resources in it,” Comey said.

“But I’m talking about a situation where we were told to stop something for a political reason, that would be a very big deal.

“It’s not happened in my experience,” Comey said."

And McCabe...

If the Times’s report is true, including the implication that the President obstructed justice, then the President’s critics are in a double bind: Either

1. McCabe committed perjury when he said “there has been no effort to impede” the investigation; OR
2. McCabe did not consider the statements of the President to constitute an “effort to impeded” the investigation, which would mean no senior FBI officials viewed the President’s statements as an attempt to obstruct justice."

Oh this is getting better by the minute. Thanks the NYT. You just screwed them over.

This is so typical of how the Right lies to their suckers level of ignorance.
Clearly the Right are implying that the "ANY influence" was pathological liar Tramp, by not posting the actual question!!! These lying scum know that their suckers are too lazy to actually look up the question to see if the question actually implies lying scum Tramp. So it comes as no surprise to me that the actual question implies NOTHING to do with Tramp, but everything to do with the Attorney General and the DOJ!!!

HIRONO: Yes. And so speaking of the independence of not just the judiciary but I'd like you to clarify the FBI's independence from the DOJ apparatus. Can the FBI conduct an investigation independent from the department of Justice. Or does the FBI have to disclose all it's investigations to the DOJ? And does it have to get the Attorney General's consent?

COMEY: Well we work with the Department of Justice, whether that's main justice or U.S. attorney's offices on all of our investigations.

And so we work with them and so in a legal sense we're not independent of the department of justice. We are spiritually, culturally pretty independent group and that's the way you would want tit. But yes, we work with the Department of Justice on all of our investigations.

HIRONO: So if the Attorney General or senior officials at the Department of Justice opposes a specific investigation, can they halt that FBI investigation?

COMEY: In theory yes.

HIRONO: Has it happened?

COMEY: Not in my experience. Because it would be a big deal to tell the FBI to stop doing something that -- without an appropriate purpose. I mean where oftentimes they give us opinions that we don't see a case there and so you ought to stop investing resources in it. But I'm talking about a situation where we were told to stop something for a political reason, that would be a very big deal. It's not happened in my experience.

Wrong! The DOJ operates under Trump. The head of the DOJ works at the pleasure of the POTUS - they are in contact regularly and work together often.

Comey's last line as I hear him say it clearly is fundamentally a game changer...... "in my experience" - meaning "in ALL my experiences" there has never been pressure to end an investigation.

That would have to include Trump

False!

 

[Wry Catcher]

Trump tweeted the appointment of a special council is nothing but a witch hunt. When President's speak from the bully pulpit, there are consequences. Trump has proved that anything he says or writes in tweets is momentary, usually hopeful thinking on his part and sure to be walked back, reversed or revised in the near future.

In this matter a normal person - and by that I don't mean this President - would embrace an investigation if there is no there there as final proof he and his cronies did not collude with the Russian Government, on the issue of taking back Obama era sanctions, or on any other matter, including matters which might expose Trump's global financial interests, his own sexual peccadilloes or conflicts of interests hidden in his yet to be released tax records.

"I did not have sex with that women" was a ridiculous reason to impeach President Clinton, and was clearly orchestrated and funded by the right wing which dominated and now owns the Republican Party. What goes around comes around; I for one will enjoy the circus sure to come to the District.

 

[Call Sign Chaos]

It does present a problem for the Comey narrative that Trump is guilty of obstruction. But the timing of all this is important. Let's assume we know that Trump asked Comey to drop the investigation on Feb 14 as per his memo. Fast forward 8 weeks- he is now asked if someone has ever tried to stop an investigation and he says no. Then he gets fired. Now he looks back and thinks "Trump asked be to drop the investigation, I don't drop the investigation, so Trump fires me". Trump can wiggle out of this, but it doesn't look good. It depends on the merit and believability Trump has for firing Comey and who is going to corroborate Trumps side of the events. It's very messy, to say the least.

Lol there are two options either Comey is guilty of perjury or Trump did not try to interfere in the investigation. "Woops I forgot until a week after I was fired," isn't going to cut it pal. Comey was fired because of the reasons already listed by Rosenstein and the DNC when they were for his termination before they were against it.

It's a complete wrap on the obstruction of Justice allegation unless Comey admits to perjuring himself under oath. But I suppose we should take the word of an anonymous associate of Comey who claims he saw this memo and who did not even provide the memo itself to WaPo or NBC over Comeys sworn testimony.

[Little-Acorn]

Oh freaking good grief. The source of the article doesn't matter. It's Comey's and McCabes own testimony that counts.

The liberal knows that. But he hasn't the integrity or honesty to admit he was wrong. Instead he tried to mask his defeat and fool people into believing that since he doesn't approve of the media it was published in, somehow that makes Comey's and McCabe's words false.

Remember, the radicalized liberals aren't completely sane. They hope that their audiences aren't either.

DoJ answers to the POTUS, the pertinent part is the following where he states unequivocally that he has never been asked to halt an investigation without a legitimate reason or for political purposes:
