If Trump ever has a sanity hearing, this will be used as evidence to prove he suffered from serious mental delusions.

This is simply beyond belief that the man could look at those events as TOTAL AND COMPLETE VINDICATION.

Trump is truly mentally ill.

Sadly the GOP will keep their Russian Manchurian candidate in power as long as they get their legislation through.

And they are not even doing that at this point. Never has so little been accomplished in the first five months of a term as what we have seen with Trump.

The only thing they can crow about was making Borscht the official soup of the USA replacing chicken noodle. (thats a joke to those ready to ask for proof)

Comey told Trump three times he's not being investigated.

Comey leaked private Presidential conversations.

Neither Trump Nor His Administration Asked Comey to Back Off Russia Probe.

Insanity indeed. LOL

Insanity is making no criminal charge and yet expecting a criminal conviction.

All that meant was that Trump was not the subject of the investigation at that time ... which can change on a dime depending on developments. You can NOT be a subject on Monday but then on Tuesday find yourself being investigated because of new developments. So for Trump to pretend that this is some great exonerating badge of honor equal to the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval is a red herring of the worst sort and the claim means nothing.

Comey leaked private Presidential conversations.

Comey simply provided his own conversation which was not classified.

Neither Trump Nor His Administration Asked Comey to Back Off Russia Probe.

Come clearly said Trump did just that - several times in fact - and then fired him when he would not comply with the directive.

The charges can come after the investigation. And I fully expect them to.

Then there can be trials. And possible convictions.

Everything in due time in the proper order.

I certainly wouldn't have called it a total vindication. But it wasn't a vindication of his detractors either. So it is the usual overstatement with the usual name calling reactions as yours. What the whole thing does show it the level of hysteria and mindless rage, where we need calm and purpose.

It is a shame the politicians and media don't take Comey's example.

Comeys testimony established that he was fired by Trump to try and impede the investigation into Russian interference. It establishes Trump as a liar who uses the trappings and powers of high office to try and protect possible criminals and cover up their actions.

Our number one foreign adversary and a huge nuclear power engaged in what former VP DIck Cheaney called a possible "act of war" against the USA by trying to influence our democratic elections on behalf of one candidate who they succeeded in getting elected.

Investigating that reality is NOT hysteria nor mindless. It is very purposeful and very necessary.

It certainly is a pity nobody backs up their statement that Trump is a Manchurian Candidate. Sinve they cannot, it is lowest slander from mostly peevish folks that can't help themselves. Of course, there are also those among the sheep that are following personal interests and others that want to damage the country.

1) Move those goal posts.

2) It's a fireable offence.

3) Comey said nothing of the sort.

 

[RetiredUSN]

The tweets all by themselves prove that this president just doesn't know when to SHUT UP!

I just cannot see him continuing this for another 3.5 years.

Again - your post shows the alternate reality far too many right wingers inhabit.
no goal posts were moved ..... you cannot be fired from a job you do not have .... Come said specifically he was fired because of his Russia investigation.

It only took 5 months before indictments started in Watergate. This sham investigation has been going on for a year and not even an indictment. Don't hold your breath

What was wrong with what he tweeted? It was true.

Watergate involved a clear crime with people arrested for it so indictments and trials were possible.

The Russia scandal is much much different in that we have the act of a adversarial foreign power interfering in our elections and now we must investigate to find our all the ins and outs of it including if Americans assisted in that effort.

They are two very very different things so to expect the timeline of the first to apply to the second is simply not rational.

Okay - how was Trump totally exonerated on Thursday?

No foreign power interfered in our election for starters, some information was stolen from a private entity and made public. That is not election interference, any more then the hollywood tape was.

I wouldn't use the word "exonerated" as we don't know what was said in closed session. We do know it was a giant flop for the media that was counting down, people who took off work to watch, etc. Comey didn't say what they wanted to hear. They wanted him to say that Trump DID tell him to stop investigating Russia and he said the exact opposite. They wanted him to say that Trump and his associates have been in constant contact with Russian officials and Comey said that was false.

Because once again the Russia phony story invented to explain away Hillary's loss is disproven. They have nothing, Comey has nothing, he testified nothing links the president, there is almost nothing on Flynn, that a New York Times story was wrong in factual details, while admitting he had it out for Trump from the start and yet he still has nothing !

No one is being indicted at this rate, Comey is either a liar, a hack, or incompetent is basically what he testified

Not at all unless one wanted that it mean that. Comey said he didn't know but had the impression over and over. Didn't you watch it?

1) Leave me out of it and stick to the topic.

2) The left pilloried Trump for claiming Comey told him he's not under investigation. Now it's "not at that time, maybe now". That is indeed moving the goal posts.

3) Matters not, it's still a fireable offence.

4) Comey said specifically "I believe", major difference and yet sat on his specificity for months.

Keep your day job Hay, I imagine your declarations regarding the psychological conditions of individuals is about as worthwhile and useful as your continued statements of absolute certainty of Democrats occupying the White House in 2016. If you think anyone is spurred by critiques and attacks on the President in this manner, when there are so many actual substantive means of criticizing him instead of childish crap like this, you're kidding yourself. All this kind of stuff does is provide circle jerk material for hardcore liberals and ardent anti-trump individuals, which is fine if one is seeking simply to grasp onto the political masturbatory rhetoric, but rather useless as any kind of actual worthwhile conversation, debate, or argument.

The vast majority of whom would no doubt, as people do here, claim they're impartial observers and just looking for the facts, wherever they may lead.
