Trump could cure cancer tomorrow and you'd find some way to spin it as evil. You've been mindfricked by Leftist agitprop.

Incorrect. Comey refused to say whether he thought Trump had obstructed justice and left it up to Mueller. And he did say that Trump personally had not been under investigation - it has been the Trump campaign and Mike Flynn. However, he did also imply that Trump was under investigation by Mueller for obstruction related to the Flynn case.

It is pretty easy to spot who actually watched the testimony and who just got talking points from CNN/DU.

DJT won't be president through the weekend says my book it sauces. This shite is a reminder that DJT campaigning on D.C. As a swamp couldn't be more correct. Comey is certifiably insane IMO. Definitely has that weird guy who might try to suck your dick in a hot tub vibe.

If a republican asked him if trump ordered him to stop investigation he answered no. If a democrat asked he answered maybe.


He always maintained that given the situation, including Trump's demonstration of corrupt intent by asking the others to clear the room, that he took it as a directive. You are just hearing what you want to here if you think he wavered on that at all.

He did not confirm anything of the sort about Trump not obstructing or obstructing justice. He said it is not his call to make.

There are not many people that have stated that Trump, specifically, was under investigation. His associates and campaign? Yes. And a number of people have testified under oath that is truth.

He was very smart to leak the information. It was legal. Trump tried to set the narrative. Comey wanted to set the narrative straight and get a special prosecutor. He got both. Trump was trumped

Actually, he laid out a pretty strong case that Trup DID obstruct justice.
Comey was asked point blank, " Did President Trump order you to stop the investigation into Flynn"

Comey's response = "No"

CASED frickING CLOSED.

If the entire "obstruction" angle is predicated on Trump interfering with the investigation, then Comey's testimony ended all discussion. Its over. Done.

Russia collusion. Done
Obstruction. Done.
Impeachment. Done.

NEVER bet against Trump!

The basis of obstruction is Trump ordering Comey to drop the investigation.

Comey was asked directly if Trump ordered him to stop the investigation. Comey said, and i quote, "No"

He absolutely did not. He said that wasn't his job to determine that.

Uh, as head of the FBI at the time.. YES it is his job to determine if someone is telling you to drop an investigation.

He was asked if he was ordered and he said "No, not with those words."

He said he took it as a "direction" from the POTUS to end the investigation. But of course you'd know this if you watched/listened/read the testimony.
