Courtesy of The Hill:"Was President Trump obstructing justice?”— ABC News (@ABC) April 11, 2018
Former FBI Director James @Comey sits down with @ABC's @GStephanopoulos for an exclusive interview airing Sunday night at 10/9c on ABC. https://t.co/IE4XwxvIih #Comey pic.twitter.com/WygOAoVQzN
Ex-FBI Director James Comey compared to President Trump to a "mob boss" in a taped interview with ABC News, according to a promotional video released Wednesday.
“How strange is it for you to sit here and compare the president to a mob boss?” host George Stephanopoulos asks Comey in a clip shared by ABC News.
The preview also shows Stephanopoulos asking Comey if he believes President Trump obstructed justice, or if he thinks the president should be impeached.
Comey does not speak at all in the promotional clip.
This is just the beginning of the media blitz that will precede the release of Comey's new book "A Higher Loyalty: Truth Lies & Leadership."
Comey also has interviews scheduled with CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, and PBS.
I still have a lot of issues with how Comey interfered in the 2016 election, but there is no way I am not reading this book or watching the upcoming interviews.
Comey has a particular insight into Donald Trump, and his response to the Russia investigation that I do not feel can be ignored.
Update: Axios has more:
According to the source:
The Comey interview left people in the room stunned — he told George things that he’s never said before.
Some described the experience as surreal. The question will be how to fit it all into a one-hour show.
Comey answered every question.
If anyone wonders if Comey will go there, he goes there.
Gonna need some more popcorn.
I feel the same way you do G. I hope he explains why he fucked Hillary over.
ReplyDeleteHe didn't fuck Hillary over. The Rule of Law gave him no choice. Law Enforcement @ it's best is apolitical. And we have the best. Don't let FB/Fox fuck up reality.

Thank you, GeorgiaPeach. Truth.
DeleteOh bullshit, Georgia
Delete@ 5:51 Bless your heart. Don't know much about much? TG, your ignorance is not my problem.
DeleteGeorgiaPeach
Both candidates were under investigation but Comey only discussed Hillary. How is that the rule of law, Georgia Peach?
DeleteI actually think he was trying to help Hilary. He was following protocol so if they accused the fbi of ignoring her email scandal he could show that the department had followed through.
DeleteThe letter was never meant to be public. Comey gets all the blame but the letter was inappropriately shared with media despite being classified. I believe it was Nunes who shared it and is also likely in Russia’s pocket.
Lol. So many know-it-alls.
DeleteSuch little actual knowledge.
TY 6:58 You nailed it.
Delete@6:33 Actually neither candidate was under "investigation". Federal Law Enforcement is apolitical. They follow the leads. Comey did his job and upheld his oath. It's not his fault that he got screwed by politics.
But Nunes is going to prison. Fuck every traitor. Comey is a Patriot.

What, 7:10 PM, is your Lady Godiva Palin going to ride in to save the day with a bible and AR-15?
DeleteYou don't know anything either, 7:10 PM, but at least you got attention!
Delete7:10 well then by all means, share your knowledge. No? I didn't think so.
DeleteAnother Patriot who will lay down his life for this country and the Rule of Law. Because his integrity demands it.

I can't wait to watch this interview.

SURPRISE...Cadet bone spur was nice to his buddy in Russia. The missiles are coming. Nice to warn him. And then tells his buddy the poison murderer, you shouldn't hang with a gas murderer. And then goes on to say, the fake Russian investigation has caused our relationship. What a SURPRISE coming from spanky dotard Cadet Bone Spur. par.
ReplyDeleteWow. Just, wow.
ReplyDeletePay back time,little donnie is going to find out he can't shut up all his crtics.
ReplyDeleteAlso trump may try to steal the limelight by firing a few people this weekend.
Kinda like trump the slob boss. One could put together a 12 hr tape of trump and his criminal behavior, he admits it. His character is well documented. You cant make this shitshow up. Facts, truth, reality, real.
ReplyDeleteSublime.
ReplyDelete"...When word got out that Cohen's inner sanctums had been de-doored by the FBI, the schaden met the freude in the rye and danced the night away. Why? Michael Cohen has moved through the world like a mouthy wheat thresher, "fixing" and intimidating people who make trouble for Trump. He has few friends, and fewer admirers. Today, he has empty filing cabinets in his office and a ball of ice in his gut to show for his years spent as a wanna-be menace on behalf of the pretend-billionaire set. ..."
"... This is going to become about more than Stormy Daniels, and Trump knows it. His panic on Monday was palpable, and justly so. Michael Cohen is in deep trouble, and Donald is right there with him. Cohen knows where all the bodies are buried, having buried many of them himself. ..." - William Rivers Pitt

ReplyDelete'Organizers of the campaign, however, have been buoyed by anecdotal signs that the Parkland shooting spurred teenage voter activism.
In California, new voter pre-registration among 16- and 17-year-olds surged between March 14 and April 2, according to a state official, and a new Harvard poll among 18- to 29-year-olds found a marked increase in the number who said they would “definitely be voting” this autumn.'

Get over it. Pence will never be POTUS.

If President Trump does not finish his term, then who will be President genius Georgia lol? What no more tick tocks?
Delete@7:08 Tick,tock,darling. DJT will not finish his term. Pence will not finish his term. They're both going to ADX Florence. It's going to be Mattis. And he will be a fabulous, Patriot, POTUS.
DeleteTick, tock. Traitors get to lose everything.

pence will go down with the orange anus - watch, wait and see ...
DeleteUntil Orrin Hatch's current term is over he would be third in line for POTUS as Senate President Pro Tempore. However, he is not running for re-election so whomever his successor as Senate PPT is would be POTUS should Pence be unable to accept the office.
DeleteOops my bad Senate President Pro Tempore is 3rd in line after VP and House Speaker, sorry for my earlier error.

"If we're going to lose because of him, we might as well impeach the motherf**ker," said the congressman as we roamed the aisles of a Safeway grocery store together. I haven't been in a Safeway since my family moved home from Dubai in 1990. The congressman did not want to be seen with me on Capitol Hill. He needed to get some stuff anyway and decided he'd let me walk with him through the cereal and dairy selections at the Safeway near my hotel. He is not happy with President Trump."

Raid on Trump’s Lawyer Sought Records on ‘Access Hollywood’ Tape

Paul Ryan Upends Republican Hopes and Plans for Midterm Elections
ReplyDelete...Mr. Ryan’s exit is a destabilizing blow to Republicans’ 2018 plans on nearly every front. The one-time Republican vice-presidential nominee has been the party’s most important fund-raiser in the House, attending fund-raisers nearly every night he is in Washington and raising more than $54 million so far for this election. In contrast to a president who embraces chaos, Mr. Ryan has also been a reassuring figure for the business community and a source of perceived stability for restless lawmakers pondering retirement.
And Mr. Ryan has been the most important voice on the right calling for an upbeat and inclusive message and a campaign focused on the economy and taxes, rather than the hard-right culture war issues Mr. Trump delights in stoking.
Now, some in the party are suggesting that the speaker’s departure will free Republicans to run a more hard-edge campaign that better reflects the politics of the man in the Oval Office.
“Paul is relentlessly positive and wanted to run an ideas-oriented campaign,” said former House Speaker Newt Gingrich. “But I guarantee you that would not have worked this fall.”
But any campaign-trail embrace of angry grievance politics — of the sort that Mr. Trump ran on in 2016 — alarms other Republicans who fear it will only exacerbate their difficulties in the suburbs and create long-term difficulties.
“This is a huge moment of truth,” said Representative Tom Rooney of Florida. “I don’t think that campaigning or governing by fear is ever going to work or ever going to be a lasting message. You can only scare people so much. And if we try that, we’re not going to be in power much longer.”

Lol. Who's least relevant? Newt or $arah? There's not even a Twitter poll for that.
DeleteDamn, the desperate are desperate.

Team Trump is taking steps to prepare for Comey's book release next week. At the White House's urging, the RNC has been drafting talking points for surrogates and is prepping a rapid-response operation. The WH press team has met w/RNC officials to prep.

You can see that the Republicans and Trump are scared to death of what Mr. Comey has written about them!
DeleteMy book is on order and I can hardly wait to receive and read it!
The top Republican candidate to replace Paul Ryan is an avowed white supremacist
ReplyDeletePaul Nehlen is too racist for even Breitbart, and yet he's the GOP's leading candidate.
https://thinkprogress.org/paul-nehlen-gop-frontrunner-16e1882f2beb/
Doesn't Palin support Nehlen? So we have a new version of Nailin' Palin?
DeleteRyan's district has gone from a sure thing to "leans" Republican. I think the Iron 'Stache will take out Nehlen. Even Republicans have reached their gag limit on Nazis. They'll either stay home, abstain from voting for that seat or hold their noses and vote for the Democrat.
DeleteJust got an email from the Trump campaign reading: "Friend, let me be clear. Since Day One, this witch hunt has never been about me. _Their target is you_." Trump is literally rousing his base to oppose the rule of law, paving the way for him to fire Mueller.

Mail it back to Trump's campaign with the note "Fuck you"! I've not gotten one - which is good, good, good!
DeleteActually i think mob bosses might have more ethics and morals than trump.
ReplyDeletetrue. They don't marry their porn girlfriends.
DeleteI for one am so sick of the United States being a soap opera. That's all Trump has brought, chaos and division and we all stay tuned to the next chapter waiting for the day when his sorry ass to be impeached.
ReplyDeleteMueller can't get Trump's ass out of our White House fast enough. I am sick of paying Trump to golf every weekend and make money off it at our expense. I am sick of his kids using us to foot their travel expenses.
I want the dignity of the United States back. MAGA.. Make America Gag Again.
Well.....we were all told to watch 60 Minutes for Stormy which turned into nothing but a ratings draw. Now it's Comey, tune into 20/20.
ReplyDeleteI'm DONE with the beating around the bush stuff. Every damned day, the drama. Say what you know with proof or STFU.
Had to laugh at Zuckerberg clips today. "I don't know, but we'll get back to you!" If that is not PALIN through and through.
You must have missed Zuck's answer when he was asked if he believed Facebook could keep personal data safer than the Federal Government.
DeleteHe said "Yes."
"the GOP now trails Democrats by 42 percent, 69-28, when it comes to partisan preference among young voters."

Yes, and, let's not forget there are hours upon hours of Ryan telling us how he was going to cut the national debt to nothing and do away with annual budget deficits.
ReplyDeleteHe is leaving with $1 TRILLION deficits PER YEAR with the national debt soaring over $13 TRILLION.
He needs to say that Jesus Christ isn't a savior, but a mythological symbol for understanding laws in Man and Nature. And that Christians got it wrong by concretizing a symbol of transcendence into a physical idol, which was only done out of ignorance, and can only beget more ignorance, as there is 2000 years of an incorrect understanding. That's what's behind the tsunami that brought us trump.
ReplyDeleteRyan better pray there is no God, because too many people will be calling down curses on him for years to come.
DeleteTrue. But still you give too much credit to the jesus tale. Read Caesar's Messiah for a better interpretation.
DeleteThere have been many many times Donald Trump has mimicked actions you believe a Mob Crime boss would have a history of doing. It does not sound as fantastic as you could think.
ReplyDeleteTrump is going to fire a bunch of people,bomb Syria then resign and leave the mess for Pence to clean up.
ReplyDeleteTrump is not only a puppet. But he mimics behavior his base want to hear and see. Since he was "saved" I have lost faith in the so called Christians of this country.
ReplyDeleteIt seems that they have rewritten the bible to fit what they want to believe and command. That God didn't make homosexuals, transgender, and that abortion is murder. I am sure they are on a long long tangent and our country has turned to a demagogue to satisfy those needs. What's sad is that this president knows how to lie his way in and around the facts.
We are lost here in America and we have the worst leader in history. And that includes Putin.
Rachael nailed Ryan last night, in her sarcastic style. It was a thing of beauty.
