As talk heats up about AG Sessions investigating Loretta Lynch, Bernard Goldberg makes a good point. If what Lynch asked Comey to do--to refer to the Clinton investigation as a "matter" rather than as an "investigation"--made him "queasy," why didn't he write and then leak a memo on this? https://townhall.com/columnists/ber...he-memo-that-he-didnt-write--or-leak-n2340159

Perhaps because Comey shared the notion that the matter of the SoS being extremely careless in handling classified data is not a crime. ;)

As we learn more about Comey, the reason he didn't is becoming clear.

https://thefederalist.com/2017/06/12/james-comey-long-history-questionable-obstruction-cases/

I haven't checked the veracity of the authors claims, but taken at face value, it does raise an eyebrow.

Very sad the mission voters were so willing to gamble on has been derailed by the obsession of the left, their media partners, and the deep state operatives who are attempting a palace coup.
 
I'm about to click on your link, Ocean, and read, but my eyebrow is already raised.

Because he is trying to make a point. You see, this was cleverly set up, actions, reactions, at the tarmac, orchestrated moves to be used when convenient. Once Comey was alone with Trump, that moment came and Trump was not politically versed enough to see it coming. He has yet to learn the political scheming, and my guess is that he is a fast learner. although he will lose much of his support if he turns into yet another career politician.
I like to think that this will avalanche and backfire and set an example.

Easy. Loretta Lynch aint no Donald Trump. Loretta Lynch does not have a history of lying, stealing and conning people... Donald Trump has.

...and you know this because? Oh yeah, the MSM had no reason to dig into the Obama Administration like piranha seeking to get their ounce of flesh because they all walked on water. :coffeepap:

Apparently, with the latest Lynch written communication to the DNC we now have more indications that Comey had been using various "feelings" as substitutes for doing his job as FBI Director.

Yea but Fox did, and found nothing as bad as Trump is doing. That is the whole point.. no matter how much you and other Trumpets try to distract from Trumps crimes, there is nothing since Nixon that even comes close.. even if we believe the conspiracy **** about Clinton and that Obama was not born in the US.

Fact: Trump is a convicted fraudster.
Fact: Trump has lied many times under oath.
Fact: Trump has gone bankrupt 5+ times.
Fact: Trump used charity money given to an illegal charity to pay to political campaigns of politicians who had the power to stop fraud investigations into him and his business... which they then did.
Fact: Trump used charity money for personal shopping..

Clinton, Obama, hell even Bush Jr never got this bad.. ever.

He's a sensitive guy. Ask Martha Stewart or Scooter Libby. Fitzgerald, who prosecuted Libby, is Godfather to one of Comey's children. These guys are like a freaking club or something. Mueller says Comey's a straight shooter, Comey says Mueller is, and all three, including Fitzgerald say they're great guys you can count on no matter what. So their feelings are superior to your fact.

Because Lynch/Obama never told him how to do the investigation and never fired him after him not following orders. Also, Lynch and Obama doesn't have the incredible history of lying like Trump does. He's famous for not being able to meet with a single lawyer because he lies about what the lawyers tell him, so they make him meet lawyers in pairs. He's a bratty little child, therefor Comey didn't trust him. For very very very obvious reasons. Trump wanted Comey to publicly announce that Trump wasn't under investigation. He wanted to to affect the messaging. Comey didn't act very bothered by this. Same thing with Lynch. She never told him to stop. She never hoped for him to stop. She allowed him to go public but simply said to message it a certain way. Same thing.

Lynch never interfered with Comey doing his job. Trump singled him out, expressed his wishes and then fired Comey for not obeying. If you can't see the difference then you have very severe issues.

Well, Captain Adverse and the 4,240,000 hits I got on Google addressing that subject. Now, probably more than half aren't favorable to Trump, but that leaves a little more than only Captain Adverse making that claim, in any case.
 
Maybe he didn't feel he needed to cover his ass in the previous situation. Maybe it was because one-on-one conversations between the FBI Director and the AG are normal whereas one-on-one meetings between the FBI Director and the President are highly irregular. Or maybe he started doing it because he learned from his mistake of not doing it. Or maybe he was biased. I don't know.

Wow, writing the great lleftist novel, eh? Obomb/Lynch et al, pure saints doing only the good, the protagonists, with Trump, antagonist, a minion of Satan...or Satan himself?

Would not suggest a beginning something like this, "It was a dark and stormy night when Barry uttered his ultimate truths, "Folksssss," he hissed, "you will be able to keep your doctorssssss. Period." Not pausing, he launched into his next universal truth, " You can also keep your plan. ACA will reduce the average family premium (blah blah blah)..."

Yeah, on the truly important "matters", neither Barry Insane nor Cankles Lynch ever lied or hedged did they?

No. I think Lynch should not have told Comey to call it a "matter". I'm just saying that's extremely different from what we've seen in the Russiagate scenario. And basically everyone agrees with me. All your side has right now is the attempt to attack people like Mueller who are about as distinguished for their honesty and integrity as you get. Good luck with that champ.

First, seeing as our team did win, we are the champs and your belittling attempt is as failed as it is juvenile.

The Russiagate is a myth, a denocrat religious myth in your bible's talking points... nobody, nobody but the truly hoodwinked, on your side, none having sans capacities, believes thise stories any more.

And, don't wanna frighten you too terribly, but we were not just champions in the WH, but our national Congress, overwhelmingly so in governorships and state legislatures... oh yeah, almost better, what's that individuals name again Neil, Neil, oh yeah Gorsuch.

All manner of folk are catching on worldwide, you can almost hear Freddie Mercury in the background, can't ya? [emoji33] [emoji16] [emoji6] [emoji2] [emoji39]

Just as I expected. No facts, just a guy who wants to pretend he won the game because he was cheering for the right team.

No facts... do people on your side even know what they are anymore. Would you recognize one if, like an long lost acquaintance who chased you right into your inner sanctum?

I itemized the facts on the ground sufficient that you have not offered anything but a weak reply. Dies my side reside currently in the WH, are majorities to suoer majorities in states governor's mansions, state houses with 23 state trifectas... Gorsuch not a SC justice? Huh, I thought sure he was confirmed.

As to the fact that Russiagate is a liberal myth, the proof of that is your side hasn't a single item if evidence.

You see, the non deaf and still sided on the left heard the big POP of the Comey to the rescue balloon, saw his story deflate... that's a fact... that and ALL the others you somehow didn't see?

Some are blind, others just need glasses and pointed in the right direction

I offered the facts on the matter at hand and you offered "well republicans are in power so nanny nanny boo boo". Have fun with your childish arguments. I have no longing to get in the sandbox and argue such childish things.

If you have offered anything, it was going around the problem only... because it is all your side has, accusations, anonymous sources leading your whole team in false directions.

Surely have not offered anything, not a single item in true evidence or anything actually useful, pertinent or of actual relevance to "Russiagate"

When you go to bite into that juicy apple that doesn't really exist, you then notice the complete absence of taste , of texture... of substance

Yanno?
