Comey did nothing illegal. All of his testimony is under oath. Deal with it.


Which means what exactly?

It certainly doesn't mean it is truthful.

People lie under oath probably 50k times a day in the US.

2 People that we know 100% for sure lied before congress recently.

Clapper
Brennan

what happened to them? Nothing. They didn't even lose their jobs much less suffer legal repercussions

Bill Clinton's testimony was under oath but that didn't stop him from committing perjury.

Comey obviously has malice against President Trump, therefore, the veracity of anything Comey says or writes about President Trump has to be questioned because of it.

Also, Comey's memo quoting what President Trump said to him during their private meeting is just a self serving document because Comey could have made up anything about what President Trump said to him during the private meeting and Comey has no evidence to prove what he wrote is true and accurate.

Where else could that have come from? According to Comey, Trump and Comey were both alone when that occurred.


I thought Comey testified that he discussed his meeting with Trump with others at the FBI and/or DOJ.

I'm not making the argument that it wasn't legal. It probably was.

It was incredibly stupid and no one here gave him shite about it, but everyone is pretending to be a legal expert and convict Comey for doing something completely legal.

But to say the info Trump shared wasn't classified is just dumb.

James Gagliano is a former Assistant-Director-in-Charge of the FBI’s New York Division who hasn't worked at the agency since 2015.

So unless he's getting leaked information himself, it's not clear how he'd have any knowledge of this.

I went to law school. Which part of what "Comey did" are all of the scholars saying is a-ok? Are there any scholars saying the opposite? Just trying to narrow down the scope of what you are melting about.

ETA: what specific info do you claim was classified that Trump told muh Russians?

and if it wasn't illegal, then why did Comey have a friend leak the info and not himself?

This is the Oath all FBI employees must sign. Number three is pretty interesting.

Trump revealed intelligence secrets to Russians in Oval Office: officials

President Donald Trump disclosed highly classified information to Russia's foreign minister about a planned Islamic State operation, two U.S. officials said on Monday, plunging the White House into another controversy just months into Trump's short tenure in office. The intelligence, shared at a meeting last week with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Russian Ambassador Sergei Kislyak, was supplied by a U.S. ally in the fight against the militant group, both officials with knowledge of the situation said.


This story.

and from today:

Trump’s Russian leak said to reveal Israeli cyber hack of IS bomb cell

NY Times claims US president blew the cover off an Israeli computer unit’s infiltration of terror group, which found it was planning to blow up airliners with exploding laptops


The Times of Israel

New York Times

This is the kind of stuff that gets our people killed.

Opinions dont put people in jail, facts do. Do any of these people ever look at actual evidence? Everyone including myself has been ripping the Russian narrative because there is no proof of anything. Just a bunch of "likely"s and "probably"s. This story should go just as far as the Russian one did...nowhere.

What's kind of funny to me is that the President essentially accused Comey of perjury by disputing some elements of his story, but that none of his allies consider it trustworthy enough to follow his lead and instead they bring up leaking (which is improper release of what's generally considered reliable information). His allies don't even consider him credible with regard to what happened in the meeting.

When I first heard Nutjob Comey was a leaker I figured that was why TRUMP fired him.
