I think he could have gone to a judge to try and invoke it, but there wasn't much chance of that. So instead, his administration "took the honest, high road" and let Comey testify unmolested. PR, basically.

We can't know if that's all that was leaked until we investigate?
So now you are calling for an investigation into a leak that doesn't exist?

What I find funny, bud. Is over the past week I have pointed out time and again how even if everything the left alleges trump did he did...it wasn't illegal. That entire time I was told how conviction of an actual crime isn't important.

Yet here you are. Parsing the code trying to prove an actual crime wasn't committed.

Are you for an investigation into collusion that doesn't exist???

The fact you failed to see what I was going for there is sad.

There is far more evidence for Comey being a leaker...since he, you know, admitted it, than there is if trump collusion.

Yet you scoff at an investigation into Comey leaks and support one for collusion.


You have outted yourself.

Shame.

I'm not following you. Which actual crime? I'm just reading articles and discussing all of this in a civil tone. I'm all ears.

Comey is being accused of crimes by legal experts. He is being defended by other legal experts. Your position is, as I understand it, that Comey is all good if he didn't commit a crime. You don't hold Trump to the same standard. Why?

Flynn probably did. It is possible that other people on the campaign / in the administration did. Trump seems to want to keep it covered up because he is a paranoid nutjob.

But he could have, indeed, invoked it still? So I guess that solves the issue of whether he could still invoke EP in relation to Comey's memos.

So just so I understand. You scoff at an investigation of an admitted leaker, but support an investigation into collusion with zero evidence. Am I understanding your stance?

I'm supposed to ask you something but I can't remember what it is. Somebody from one of these threads referred me to you...

Trump is all good if he didn't commit a crime. I've never said otherwise, and as a matter of fact have gone on record saying that he wouldn't be caught up in anything, but some of his campaign team would. We'll see. I could be wrong as hell again.

I started a thread earlier asking if there will ever be a consensus on leaking and anonymous sources. Because as it is now, leaks only matter when people don't like the info. Trump has expressed his love for wikileaks numerous times. Why? Because the info was damaging to his opponent.

Same thing applies to anonymous sources. If the info is favorable, they're fine. I just think we need to all come to a consensus, and I'll abide by it. I do believe Comey was smart enough to leave himself several outs in this situation, but what do I know?

wish I could help. Is it a cali question? I grew up there. Is it a tax law question? That's what I do. If it's a trump question...you probably don't want to ask me. I mostly just like messing with the posters here on that stuff.

Comey didn't share anything he didn't have the rights to.

The intelligence investigation is into Russian interference in the election and attempts to subvert members of the Trump campaign. There is plenty of evidence for that.

So do you think there should be an investigation into collusion? If so...based on what? Is that basis greater than an admitted leaker being investigated for leaking?

It's all above my pay grade. I think they have some stuff on Flynn, possibly Manafort, and possibly Sessions, now. I don't know if any charges will come of it. As for Comey being an admitted leaker, sounds like people are already "investigating", and everybody is playing politics there, too. I've read a few things saying it's not illegal, but others disagree. We'll see what happens.
