Might as well get this out here. Comey's written statement is up:
https://www.intelligence.senate.gov/...mey-060817.pdf

This is not going to go well for the Democrats. There are a few select quotes that one could interpret as pressure, but not in the way Politicians speak.

The gist is - Trump was being distracted by politically motivated "Russia, Russia, Russia" attacks and wanted this stop. Several times he asked to publicize findings or even further investigate the dossier. What's interesting is Trump calling people directly - like a business CEO would. What do you mean I have to call the Deputy AG to talk to you, don't you work for me? Seems more like not understanding how government works (and to be fair, probably should work).

Let's pick out the choice quotes though:

Now, where did Comey put those Clinton memos?

This is the big part. this was a one on one private conversation between two people. Comeys interpretation is the only thing that matters here, and it's clear comey did not believe trump was referring to the broader investigation into Russian collusion, and that he does not believe trump committed obstruction.

Agreed. I think Trump probably fired Comey for not moving faster on the investigation because there was nothing to see here. Just like when your building contractor doesn't complete your skyscraper in time. It has been difficult getting things through congress when they're prepping for these fake "Russia" hearings - I can sympathize with his frustration.

This is kind of telling too
He wanted to know if some of his folks did something wrong.

He also wanted to end the leaks - because there were so many Obama holdovers completely butthurt that his legacy had been rejected that they continued to try to undermine President Trump. I can't wait for him to flush out the rest of the traitors in government.

yeah, team trump was trying to obstruct re: russia since before he took office, but what trump REALLY wanted was a fast investigation

good lord are you trumpkins terrible at logic

Talking like Tony Soprano does not make you Tony Soprano:

If you're not guilty, you want it over ASAP. That's the point - there was no obstruction. Never has, never was. You should read Comey's statement.

The Libtards narrative dies tomorrow, my mug is prepared for the tears.

Lol this will be bad for trump. Pretty obvious the former head of the fbi(a republican) thinks trump can't be trusted. Also pretty obvious pee tape is legit.

'Let that investigation go' said the guy who can fire him. #toxic

Well now we all have superAIDS, thanks JiggyMac Obama!

Nothingburger alert.

Before I keep going, I want to preface by saying I agree with Scott Adams. Comey is a patriot and really has been in a no win situation since the Clinton email scandal. Honestly, had Loretta Lynch not forced Comey to drop the investigation on the Clintons, perhaps we wouldn't be here. That said...

Comey: Working with AG Lynch made me feel quesy.
Comey: I told Trump to go through the Deputy AG to communicate with me.

Hrmmm....which is it?

Would the alt-right say you are "virtue signaling" some sort of patriotism in this spot here?

I like broccoli
The sky is blue


WHICH IS IT?!

Mr Comey's testimony is that the president fired him in order to undermine the Russia investigation, which Mr Comey regards as extremely serious, and that the president's allies have been lying about this ever since.

Liberal Fox News thinks today was not a good day for Trump.

Trump kicking out Sessions before telling Comey to let the Flynn thing go does seem pretty bad.

On a completely unrelated note, is McCain always as out of it as he was today? The guy clearly has no idea what is going on. It was hard to watch.

This whole thing can't be good politically. The good news is that it's early in his presidency. He has time to do a lot of great things for this country and that's all people will care about come the next election.

Comey is clearly going to be the big loser here. By the time it's all over the true extent of his corruption will be revealed.

The dissapointment the left is gonna feel after this scenario s over will be similar to what Cav fans felt last night.

leftists won't feel any disappointment

the anti trump hysterics are drowning out any rational thought rn

Can we just use Comey's actual words instead of making up headlines:
"Again, I take the president's words. I know I was fired because of something about the way I was conducting the Russia investigation was in some way putting pressure on him, in some way irritating him, and he decided to fire me because of that." - which exactly follows my narrative. Considering how inept Comey was with Loretta Lynch, I can sympathize with the President's frustration. Let's also not forget Mueller's appointment as blowing your stupid argument out of the water.

I think they will definately feel a let down. This was their big gotcha moment.

The Cavs had their gotcha moment late in the game when they were up 7 but the Warriors came back. The series is over. Talk about a letdown. They could have been right back in the series at 1-2 but now it's 0-3 and it's over.

This is what the left is going through right now.

Gotta agree with this.

So, after all the hot air we're left with a big nothingburger. Can we let the President get back to running the country now.

Mimicking regime talking points is all you good for around here?

Spouting gibberish is all you good for around here?

Everyone who tried that line before you remains a permanent embarrassment to themselves and whatever they claim to stand for.
