At lunchtime I watched part of "Clash Of The Titans" (2010) instead. The final scenes of the Gorgon and her demise are kinda like Hillary's loss in November, and her unwillingness to accept her fate. ____________________ Blessed be the Lord, my Rock | |||

The Democrats got nothing on Trump out of this hearing today. To the Democrats dismay, Comey says he is a leaker, confirmed Trump is not under investigation and he dished dirt on Clinton and Lynch.

Impeachment is not a criminal procedure but a political one. True... but there is not going to be any impeachment. Relax. Calm blue ocean. As to intent: A year ago next month, Comey did his now infamous press conference in which he laid out a case against Hillary but said no reasonable prosecutor would bring a case absent evidence of 'intent' but... 'intent' is not an element of the statute she would have been charged with violating. "Some things are apparent.

I did the exact same thing!! And now I'm watching the French Open women's semi-final.....that should tell you how bored I am.  "If you’re a leader, you lead the way.

Nice statement from President Trump's counsel - wonder how those "appropriate authorities" will decide on investigating Comey's leaks of classified information? I am Marc Kasowitz, President Trump's personal lawyer. Contrary to numerous false press accounts leading up to today's hearing, Mr. Comey has now finally confirmed publicly what he repeatedly told the President privately: The President was not under investigation as part of any probe into Russian interference. He also admitted that there is no evidence that a single vote changed as a result of any Russian interference. Mr Comey's testimony also makes clear that the President never sought to impede the investigation into attempted Russian interference in the 2016 election, and in fact, according to Mr. Comey, the President told Mr. Comey it would be good to find out in that investigation if there were some 'satellite' associates of his who did something wrong." And he did not exclude anyone from that statement. Consistent with that statement, the President never, in form or substance, directed or suggested that Mr. Comey stop investigating anyone, including suggesting that that Mr. Comey"let Flynn go." As he publicly stated the next day, he did say to Mr. Comey, "General Flynn is a good guy, he has been through a lot" and also "asked how is General Flynn is doing." Admiral Rogers testified that the President never "directed [him] to do anything ... illegal, immoral, unethical or inappropriate" and never "pressured [him] to do so." Director Coates said the same thing. The President likewise never pressured Mr. Comey. The President also never told Mr. Comey, "I need loyalty, I expect loyalty" in form or substance. Of course, the Office of the President is entitled to expect loyalty from those who are serving in an administration, and, from before this President took office to this day, it is overwhelmingly clear that there have been and continue to be those in government who are actively attempting to undermine this administration with selective and illegal leaks of classified information and privileged communications. Mr. Comey has now admitted that he is one of these leakers. Today, Mr. Comey admitted that he unilaterally and surreptitiously made unauthorized disclosures to the press of privileged communications with the President. The leaks of this privileged information began no later than March 2017 when friends of Mr. Comey have stated he disclosed to them the conversations he had with the President during their January 27, 2017 dinner and February 14, 2017 White House meeting. Today, Mr. Comey admitted that he leaked to friends his purported memos of these privileged conversations, one of which he testified was classified. He also testified that immediately after he was terminated he authorized his friends to leak the contents of these memos to the press in order to "prompt the appointment of a special counsel." Although Mr. Comey testified he only leaked the memos in response to a tweet, the public record reveals that the New York Times was quoting from these memos the day before the referenced tweet, which belies Mr. Comey's excuse for this unauthorized disclosure of privileged information and appears to entirely retaliatory. We will leave it the appropriate authorities to determine whether this leaks should be investigated along with all those others being investigated. In sum, it is now established that there the President was not being investigated for colluding with the or attempting to obstruct that investigation. As the Committee pointed out today, these important facts for the country to know are virtually the only facts that have not leaked during the long course of these events. http://www.zerohedge.com/news/...nds-comeys-testimony NRA Life Member - "Fear God and Dreadnaught" | |||

Chris Matthews: Trump-Russia collusion theory 'came apart' with Comey testimony http://www.washingtonexaminer....mony/article/2625372 Liberal MSNBC host Chris Matthews said Thursday the accusation that President Trump directly colluded with Russia to interfere in the U.S. election "came apart" following former FBI Director James Comey's testimony in front of Congress. In his written and spoken testimony on Thursday, Comey said that he never felt that Trump had tried to impede the FBI's investigation into Russia, even that the president had encouraged it and he suggested that former national security adviser Mike Flynn wasn't at the heart of the investigation. "The assumption of the critics of the president, of his pursuers, you might say, is that somewhere along the line in the last year is the president had something to do with colluding with the Russians … to affect the election in some way," Matthews said on MSNBC, following the testimony. "And yet what came apart this morning was that theory," Matthews said, listing two reasons why. First, he said Comey revealed that "Flynn wasn't central to the Russian investigation," and secondly, he said that kills the idea that Flynn might have been in a position to testify against Trump. "And if that's not the case, where's the there-there?" Matthews said. In his testimony, Comey confirmed media reports that Trump had asked him if he could drop the FBI investigation into Flynn and that the president had asked for his "loyalty." But Comey also asserted that he had told Trump that he was not personally under any investigation and that the president had encouraged the Russia investigation, even if it implicated any of his associates. The hearing lasted nearly three hours and was followed by additional closed testimony in the Senate. When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own house, his possessions are undisturbed.

Paul Ryan and his "he's new at this" crap is the kind of shit a Frenemy would say. A stupid excuse in any case, couched in an attempt to help, that's also meant to reflect negatively upon Trump and/or argue that The Establishment matters and is needed. Snake. | |||

Scooter Libby was prosecuted and convicted of false statements in connection with the outing of a CIA employee. I'm still not sure what it was he said was untrue, but he got convicted, and the outer did not. Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent.

The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit.

Comey really made an ass of himself today. http://www.breitbart.com/video...-captain-courageous/ RUBIO: As you understood it he was asking not about the general Russian investigation he was asking very specifically about the jeopardy that Flynn was in himself. COMEY: That’s how I understood it yes sir. RUBIO: As you perceived it, while he was a request that you hoped you would do away with it, you perceived it as an order? Given his position and the setting and alike and some of the circumstances. COMEY: Yes. RUBIO: At the time did you say anything to the president about that, that’s not an appropriate request or tell the White House counsel that is not an appropriate request, someone needs to tell the president that he can’t do these things? COMEY: I didn’t, no. RUBIO: Okay. Why? COMEY: I don’t know. I think the circumstances were such that I was a bit stunned and didn’t have the presence of mind. I don’t want to make it sound like I’m Captain Courageous. I don’t know if I had had the presence of mind I would have said to the president, ‘Sir. that’s wrong.’ I don’t know if I would have In the moment, it didn’t come to my mind. What came to my mind was, be careful what you say. And ‘I said, I agree Flynn is a good guy.’ ************* no one will confuse Comey w Capt Courageous Comey says he "perceived" that President Trump ordered him to drop the Flynn investigation. And Comey's response to President Trump was "I agree Flynn is a good guy." | |||

When a man has not actually ever been on a hill on which other men were willing to kill him to remove him, it may cause him to make fatuous remarks such as this. He does it in an attempt to sound 'with it' and 'having the right stuff' and 'tough guy' when in fact he is none of those and probably has never considered any moral or physical position or belief worth breaking a manicured nail mush less literally being killed for. This interrogation says much more about the pampered prince than it does about Trump. _______________________ | |||
