quote:

Risch brought up notes Comey took while speaking to President Trump about the Flynn investigation. He read a quote to Comey, “I hope you can see your way clear to letting this go, to letting Flynn go. He’s a good guy. I hope you can let this go.” Risch continued on by saying, “Now those are his exact words, is that correct?”

Comey: “Correct.”

Risch: “And you wrote them here and put them in quotes.”

Comey: “Correct.”

Risch: “Thank you for that. He did not direct you to let it go?”

Risch: “He did not order you to let it go?”

Comey: “Again, those words are not an order, no.”





Now we can compare that to Lynch if you want to.

Regardless of what Comey says it is his word against Trumps. Nothing to see. Same as nothing to see with the Russians. All a bunch of BS.

And 30 seconds later did a 180 and said he took it as an order. Gold medal worthy gymnastics from James Comey.

Comey: Trump told me to stop the Flynn investigation and fired me to affect the Russian investigation.

Trumpkins: EVERYTHING IS GREAT AND GREAT DAY FOR TRUMP

Context matters. So does perception. Especially when you're the President...

BURR: Director Comey, did the president at any time ask you to stop the FBI investigation into Russian involvement in the 2016 U.S. Elections?

COMEY: Not to my understanding, no.

BURR: Did any individual working for this administration, including the justice department, ask you to stop the Russian investigation?

COMEY: No.

Quit being stupid.

When did anyone say that Trump ordered Comey to stop the Russian investigation?

Trump ordered Comey to stop the Flynn investigation and fired Comey because he didn't like the Russian investigation.

Comey:

quote:

"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."

So, if both of these comments were made under oath he is guilty of perjury?

No, because they aren't contradictory.

Trump told him to stop the Flynn investigation, not the Russian investigation. Trump just went ahead and fired Comey because of the Russian investigation
