Who gives a shite what Comey has to say?? Anyone really think something "breaking" will come of this dog and pony show?

I am not sure i trust Gowdy at this point. I used to think he was someone I'd want as AG. Since he's lameduck, i have my doubts about his sincerity and effort he may put forward.

Remember that Comey wanted a public hearing, not closed door, so that he could plausibly decline to answer questions because of security concerns.

Announcing that a transcript of the hearing will be issued acts to give Comey cover. He can now give that same “can’t answer based on security concerns” response because he can plausibly claim that he doesn’t trust the committee to not release “sensitive” information.

A lot of transcripts have been released from their behind closed doors interviews

Erik Prince

I imagine they leave out the classified parts and or redact?

When Graham said they could video tape and release Father Comey's interview. Notice Father Comey backed down and settled for a transcripted release?

I don't trust Gowdy either and (unlike many) I never trusted Graham. I think Graham wanted a committee chair (and lifetime Trump country club free pass) and now that he has the power and Trump's ear-- he will go back GOPe deep state.

BTW: there was an article out yesterday specific to Paul Ryan holding back an immigration bill that would have passed.

THIS is what I want them to ask him --

He gave a speech at William & Mary where he took Q&A afterwards. A kid from the audience asked him how could he have written sHitlary's exoneration letter in May before he even spoke with her or any of her people until June or July.

Comey responded with the complete bullsh!t answer that they had been conducting the investigation for almost a year, and with like most investigations, he could see where it was going and knew what the result would be.

There's just ONE BIG F*CKING PROBLEM with that answer.


The letter did not exonerate sHitlary from the crimes. At the point in May where he wrote the exoneration letter, they only thing he could have possibly have known was that she did, in fact, commit thousands of felonies. THAT'S ALL HE COULD HAVE POSSIBLY HAVE KNOWN IN MAY.

The basis for his exoneration of sHitlary was that she didn't INTEND to break the law.

NOTWITHSTANDING THE F*CKING FACT that intent is not a element of the crimes sHitlary committed, the real question is HOW IN THE F*CKING WORLD COULD COMEY HAVE KNOWN sHITLARY'S INTENT BEFORE HE EVER F*CKING SPOKE WITH HER?

He dutifully laid out all of her crimes in his July press conference. And, that's all he could have possibly have known in May when he wrote the exoneration letter.

I imagine the democrats will ask him questions like...

How was your last outing? Did you see any special rocks or trees? We love you now, thanks for protecting Hil.

He's refusing to answer under instruction from FBI and DOJ attorneys just as I thought he would. Time for a Contempt of Congress citation for him AND them.

THere are two attorneys present. One from FBI and his personal attorney.

Apparently, his personal attorney “gleefully “ informed congress that his client wouldn’t be answering very many questions.

So does that mean he’s pleading the 5th?

If he copped the fifth it wouldn't be going on till 4 today.

Here is a twitter search of Comey

LINK



He has 2 lawyers one from OUR- DOJ, govt agency. The democrats (Nadler) are saying it is a waste of time blah blah blah

Bet me it will be said that the DOJ lawyer was there because IT IS AN ONGOING INVESTIGATION AND COMEY CANNOT COMMENT. Obama's famous line...

Now it's time for Trump to step in and say, "As the BOSS of the FBI Director, I hereby demand that you answer EVERY question asked of you."

Why does he have a DOJ attorney; or any attorney paid by us?

Gowdy is a total disappointment.

Can’t wait to not see his face or hear his voice again.

Excuse my language, but frick him.
