Comey: "I don't recall"; "I don't remember";"i I don't know" - 245 Times as his LIES CONTINUE

He has not forgotten 245 events on previous testimony - suddenly his nearly senile? Oh please...that is evidence enough.

The number you're quoting is a BS talking point, and your assertion as stated above is simply false, untrue. Here's the testimony. I tried to go through the first few cases in post #29

The link has a box to do a search of the document, and you can search for "I don't know" or similar. Give us an example where he forgot previous testimony in a way that is obvious lying.

He's lying about his lack of recall. The difference in recall between his prior testimonies and this one are marked - 245 lapses of memory are not believable nor normal. It's called dodging.

And you're misrepresenting his testimony when you clearly haven't read any of it, or else you wouldn't make that assertion.

Sounds like the same testimony that Condaleeza Rice gave in the Iraq war investigation. And since Comey is a registered republican - JUST LIKE RICE - I am sure all you republicans will have no problem with his testimony.

Outrageous. Proven liar/felony leaker James Comey refused to answer the PERTINENT QUESTIONS that Congress correctly sought the answers to, by using the Obama Swamp De Fault Lies by Ommission...saying he "did not remember" ...or "Didn't know" what his OWN AGENCY WAS DOING 245 times during House testimony this week.

And, of course, the Left has NO PROBLEM WITH IT....

I'm a lefty and I have a huge problem with this. I would also like to know why Roger Stone pleaded the 5th. But we know you trumpsters don't have a problem with THAT.

The entire reason for the thread's existence is because of Trump's daily meltdown this morning. Thus why his name was brought up.

What is a process crime?

Is there a law in the US Criminal Code that defines what a process crime is, or is that just a way for uber-partisans to minimize the criminal acts of felons?

I'll explain it for you. Flynn lied to the FBI about something that wasn't a crime and was charged with a felony for it. Yes, that's right, the only "crime" was a lie and nothing else.

So you reject the commonly cited tabulation, because you tried to dabbled with a few searches? While I'd like more clarity as to exactly how the number was derived, until such time (if ever) it is debunked I will take it at face value. Till then, lets be specific on the numbers cited:

Comey said “I don’t remember” 71 times, “I don’t know” 166 times and “I don’t recall” 8 times, for a staggering total of 245 non-answers on Friday.

Perhaps you should follow your own advice and come up with your tabulation of the transcript.

Finally, I didn't say he forgot previous testimony. I said his pattern of not remembering and failure to know is not plausible NOR consistent with his prior ability to recall many more things than he did here.

AKA - stonewalling.

That's not quite true. He entered into plea negotiations and that was the agreed on result. It's almost certain that he committed other crimes that prosecutors agreed to waive for his cooperation, because those alleged crimes have been widely covered by various media. And it wouldn't appear that he gains much with a plea on a charge that if he fights and loses has little to no jail time and a fine.

No, I reject the idea that the tabulation means anything at all. If I ask you why Mueller fired Strzock, for example, the only answer you can give me is "I don't know" or similar, because you aren't Mueller, didn't fire Strzock, and unless Mueller called you up and explained his entire thought process, you can't do anything but guess about WHY Mueller did that. Well, a series of "I don't knows" are related to that question. Does that indicate a faulty memory or obvious lying? NO!

So the number is just a right wing talking point that you repeated without having read the testimony.

Perhaps you should follow your own advice and come up with your tabulation of the transcript.

Finally, I didn't say he forgot previous testimony. I said his pattern of not remembering and failure to know is not plausible NOR consistent with his prior ability to recall many more things than he did here.

Give us an example of that. I linked to the testimony. What you'll see is at least the VAST majority of his "I don't knows" or similar involve stuff done by OTHERS. For example, he was asked about texts between Strzock and Page, and what they were thinking when they sent them. The only plausible answer to that is, "I don't know" because he didn't send the texts. How can he provide insight into the thought process of others.

So you're just going off your gut and don't have actual presentable examples of lies.

It's important when you're going with your gut feeling that you communicate that clearly.

And it was not actually a lie. he was caught in a perjury trap. A common trick of politically appointed prosecuters is having their goons ask the same questions over time in multiple different ways until the witness is confused and mis-remembers some detail. Scooter Libby was caught in a similar trap over the Valerie Plame CIA hoax.

It was over what was said in a phone conversation when he was part of the President-elect's team regarding Russia not reacting strongly to Obama booting out a bunch of Russian diplomats. That's not a crime.

The GOP controlled investigation that called Comey to testify should have done as he asked and had the questioning in public. Then we would know the whole truth. Maybe Comey knew they were trying to trap him and did the best thing you can do, not remember anything.

Well, he pled guilty to it with the advice of his attorneys, so that's wrong - it is a crime, obviously and clearly.

And then you quoted and ignored my actual point... :roll:

It's weird how you guys crying "perjury trap!" never link to what he actually agreed he did.

https://www.justice.gov/file/1015126/download

He didn't misremember a detail - he lied about multiple phone calls with multiple people, here and in Russia. Took direction from the transition team, conveyed it to Russia, communicated the contents of discussions with the Russians back to the transition, multiple times. Then when asked said, "Who me? Nothing!"

And of course the issue then and now is did the Russians and members of the campaign 'collude' during the election. So here we have Obama punishing the Russians for interfering (that much is undisputed) and the incoming administration, suspected of possible 'collusion' telling Russia - "Hey, no big deal guys! We don't care about that stuff!" So it's not a trivial thing to lie about given what was being investigated.

Do you have a link showing all of the answers? If they were asking him questions that he didn't know the answer too then what answer would you expect other than "I don't know"? I'd be more interested in hearing the questions and answers more so than just a count of "I don't knows" that doesn't tell us anything.

You can search for "I don't know" or similar and I only read the first half or so, but what you'll find is VERY few are about what Comey forgot, and almost all are things like, paraphrased, "What did Strzock mean with that text?" which given Comey isn't Strzock of course he didn't know, or why Mueller fired Strzock, or what investigators not Comey at interrogations he didn't attend asked Hillary, or why they didn't ask certain questions, etc.

Did Comey's FBI try to prove the validity of Hillary's email scandal? For example, was Hillary under oath at any time in her interrogation by the FBI? Who was with her when she testified to the FBI? Contrastingly, was the evidence used by the FBI to pursue Trump ever verified?

Hillary's low-hanging fruit. Why go after Hillary when you can take down the entire Clinton Global Initiative AND Trump through Jeffrey Epstein.

Oh? What was that? Another inconvenient Trump-Clinton connection for you right-wingers to attempt to ignore?
