Telling Congress that he was “mildly nauseous” at the thought of having influenced the presidential election may have won former FBI Director James Comey plaudits among Democrats and within the bureau. But his choice of words may have doomed him with President Donald Trump.
He found the testimony last week infuriating and griped about it extensively for at least two days, several associates and advisers said. “He was basically defending Hillary Clinton,” said one adviser, explaining Trump’s interpretation of Comey’s testimony. Another person said: “He couldn’t figure out why Comey would go out and say that.”
I guess Trump does not appreciate thinking that somebody was made nauseous by his victory.
Well boy do I have bad news for him on that front.
That may have been the trigger, but Trump's pump was already primed. (I just made that saying up right here on the spot.)
Trump did not appreciate that Comey declared his campaign to be under investigation on live TV, said two people who know the president well. He didn’t like that Comey contradicted his unsubstantiated accusation that President Barack Obama tapped his phone line at Trump Tower. And Trump was displeased that the FBI seemed uninterested in pursuing investigations into the leaks he believes are weakening his administration.
“He got tired of him,” one White House official said. “I think that’s how you would explain it. He got really tired of him.”
So yes, it WAS all about the Russia investigation.
Just like everybody with half a brain figured out from the very beginning.
Which makes what Trump did not only comparable to Richard Nixon's Saturday Night Massacre, but perhaps even worse.
By the way Comey turned down that invitation to testify in a closed door session before the Senate Intelligence Committee, but an associate of his is saying it is not because he doesn't want to testify, but that if he does testify he wants to do so publicly in front of the American people.
That in my opinion is very smart.
I hope Comey has the opportunity to testify at a public hearing.

DeleteRICO = The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act
Exclusive: Several sources familiar with the matter say that Senator Orrin Hatch of Utah is being given security briefings to prepare him for the Presidency.
Sources close to the legal community indicate that matters are proceeding rapidly in the forthcoming proceedings to remove Donald Trump from office, and to indict the co-conspirators around him.
Sources with links to the intelligence community described a sense of both inevitability and urgency over the unraveling of the Trump-Pence administration over their attempts to obstruct justice. “Trump’s presdidency ended May 9th,” said one source, referring to the overtly politicized dismissal of FBI Director James Comey.
Donald Trump and Mike Pence have both violated their oaths of office in plain sight over the unconstitutional dismissal of Director Comey, these sources say, and elements of the Judicial Branch are asserting the separation of powers described in the Constitution.
This matter is separate from, and additional to, the substantive charges of collusion with the Russian state, and of money-laundering, sedition, violation of the Logan Act, and other crimes with which both Trump and Pence may be charged.
As I exclusively reported earlier this week, Speaker Paul Ryan, normally third in the line of succession, will be excluded as the intelligence community has an intercept in which Ryan openly admits that he knew Sergei Kislyak was washing Russian money into the GOP. This will convict Ryan on RICO charges; as I have also exclusively reported this week, a RICO case exists against the GOP as a body. The raids earlier this week on a data and consulting firm close to Paul Manafort formed part of evidence gathering in this RICO case.
Some of the violations committed this week by Pence and Trump include, but are not limited to, lying that Director Comey told Mr. Trump he was not being investigated; explicitly connecting Trump’s firing of Comey to the investigation of his connections with Russian hacking; using White House spokesmen knowingly to lie to the public, for example, Sarah Sanders Huckabee claiming Comey “committed atrocities”;
having the Attorney General, Jeff Sessions, involve himself on a matter on which he was recused; explicitly stating that the White House wishes a new FBI Director to bring the Russia investigation to a conclusion; and witness tampering with threats to Director Comey.
[TMI alert]. Well, I was and am ACTIVELY nauseated, Mr. Comey, at what you did.
ReplyDeleteThat said, the fallout from Tr*mp's actions have changed the world. I can't wait to see a huge orange wobbling mass of handcuffed jail scrubs whimpering as he is led off in handcuffs.
Me too. He knew exactly what he was doing.
DeleteThat open hearing request tells me that he doesn't trust the GOP Senators any more than he does The Furious One. Good for Comey. This whole thing may have a good end after all...the end of the Trump dynasty before it's 6 months old.
ReplyDeleteHope Comey has bodyguards.
DeleteMade my day! Yes , by all means ,do everything ,say everything regarding trump fat ass in the public eye .I hope it happens .Testify in public!
ReplyDeleteOtherwise , the orange fat ass will lie about anything said privately.
Do not trust the fat ass lying trump Gestapo!
Do not trust his cabinet. Republican trump supporters are putting all of us and The US at at risk!
President Trump if you plan on resigning because the Democrats are trying to soil your name, please don't resign until you reverse Barack's and Michelle's presidential executive orders.
ReplyDeleteBecause no one like Jesus says says, "FUCK YOU!" to mankind and earth.
DeleteAmirite??
Eye Roll Troll :)
Nobody is soiling Trump's name more than the orangutan himself.
DeleteMichelle Obama never issued any executive orders as First Lady. Good grief. And President Obama only issued executive orders that helped to move this country forward and protect the environment. Keep in mind, Anon at 5:15 pm, that he dealt with a seditious GOP in Congress for eight years.
DeleteBeaglemom
Moron. FLOTUS can't issue executive orders. Of course, you're too stupid to realize trump is soiling his own name (and everything he touches).
DeleteTo my ear, the worst part of Comey's statement was the qualifier 'slightly'.
ReplyDeleteWhen I talk about Drumpf I say indelicately, "every single day since the election, that rat fucking bastard makes me want to puke my bloody guts out."
Why beat around the bush? I assume Drumpf and his confused supporters like when people "tell it like it is"?

Nope. Not everything here in AK is associated with Snowflake Snooki, and as a matter of fact, since her husband is a fisherman in Bristol Bay he'd probably prefer that there wasn't a large open pit mine whose tailings containment dams will most certainly fail one day and pollute the waters where he holds his salmon permits.

DeleteA bombshell report from the Washington Post claims that even President Donald Trump’s most trusted aides and confidants are “bewildered and alarmed” by his recent behavior. One GOP insider fretted that the president appears to be “in the grip of some kind of paranoid delusion” as he thrashes around for someone to blame for the tsunami of criticism generated by his abrupt firing of FBI Director James Comey.

I get extremely nauseous every time I see trumps ugly ass face. I have been nauseous since November 2016. Just hearing his voice makes me sick. Trump is a nasty cancer.
ReplyDeleteKeep in mind- if you have ever been around a person who is mentally off the rails, they do shit that just doesn't make sense, and they often have no ideas why they do it (although sometimes the voices...).
ReplyDeleteThe same with Donald trump imo.

James Comey just called Donald Trump’s bluff
ReplyDeletehttps://www.palmerreport.com/opinion/bluff-comey-trump/2807/
Let's not forget that like Sarah Palin, Trump also has a history of turning on those that helped or supported him in some way.
ReplyDeleteComey's days were numbered the minute he released that letter handing Trump the election. And Comey has done plenty to trigger his firing. Basically recanting the letter the day before the election with nothing to see her. Saying they would not prosecute or further investigate or whatever Hillary. Then all of the things listed. I think he refusal to vow allegiance and kiss the ring was really his undoing. If Trump can't get your signature in blood on that loyalty oath turning over your soul to him, that seals your fate. Comey wouldn't sign and that was the end of that. Anything else is an excuse.
Now it is only to see what deplorable asshole Trump is going to put in charge of the FBI. You know it is going to be the worst possible choice.

Trump Tweeted Nine Times To Deleted Russian Twitter Accounts And No One Is Talking About It

Warren Drags Trump Sideways In Brutal Commencement Speech — It’s Beautiful (VIDEO)

The investigation into Donald Trump’s Russia scandal has become so far reaching that it involves not only two branches of the United States government, but also the intelligence agencies of a number of foreign nations. It’s become so sprawling that there are reportedly at least twenty-eight people being targeted. And now comes confirmation that three of them are Donald Trump’s children.
ReplyDeleteThat new comes from Democratic insider Claude Taylor, who is fresh off having been the first to break the Trump-Russia grand juries story, for which he was ultimately vindicated by CNN. Now he has another piece of information from his inside sources: “Told by an [intel community] source – now confirmed by legal source – that there is recorded evidence of criminal wrongdoing by each of Trump’s adult children” (link). He went on to clarify that this does not include Tiffany Trump, who has no association with her father’s organization. But it does include the other three.

Instead of saying that he felt "mildly nauseous," Comey should have said that he hasn't slept a wink since he made that horrible statement in October. He had to have known at the time that it was the wrong thing to do but he did it nonetheless and now we and the world have to live with the consequences. Many of the rest of us have lost lots of sleep since then.
