Comey influenced by phony Russian intel document

[Bo-4]

This is just sad folks - Comey should have known better y'think?


Former FBI Director James Comey told Congress in early May that he felt “mildly nauseous” at the idea that he may have influenced the outcome of the U.S. election by speaking publicly about Hillary Clinton’s “carelessness” in using a private e-mail server as secretary of state.

The Washington Post on Wednesday shed more light on why he chose to make that announcement, which broke FBI protocol not to comment on closed cases where no charges are brought. Before Comey’s July announcement, the FBI obtained a Russian intelligence document of dubious origin and veracity that claimed to cite communications between then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch and Clinton’s campaign, in which Lynch assured a campaign staffer that the Justice Department would not closely investigate the email server.

The document did not include the email in question and merely described its contents. The Post reported that many people within the U.S. intelligence community believed the document either contained bad intelligence or was fake. FBI officials, who said the source who provided the document had offered up un-corroborated information in the past, called the document “junk” and “unreliable and based on multiple layers of hearsay.”

Perhaps Comey should be fired.

Perhaps Comey should be fired.

Comey screwed up on his announcements .. he has warts

But no, he shouldn't have been fired to halt the investigation (as Trump famously bragged to Russian spies invited to White House)

Are you feeling the heat yet MV? .. this ain't going away and Republicans are unlikely to get ANY meaningful legislation done this year.

Good

I already understand you are a coup cheerleader. I bet you believe there will be a wave election in 2018. I am inclined to believe the same thing. I expect to see a Republican supermajority in the Senate.

As long as Trump Dumpster's approval rating looks like this and this Russia thing continues to heat up - Congressional Republicans will ditch him like smelly, wet dog.

So will the millions who voted for him who lose their health care.

Your Senate supermajority won't happen .. and we may even take the House.

Good times!™

This makes me smile. You haven't learned a thing. You are a great mouthpiece for the Buffoonkins.

They just can't come to terms with the outcome of the election.

[Tahuyaman]

Why would anyone think a current investigation would be closed down because the director of the FBI is being replaced?

[Bo-4]

Dunno .. perhaps you should ask Trump what he told the Russian spies?

“I just fired the head of the F.B.I. He was crazy, a real nut job,” Mr. Trump said, according to the document, which was read to The New York Times by an American official. “I faced great pressure because of Russia. That’s taken off.”

This is merely more fake news perpetuated by Libs as the coup attempt ...
