FBI Dir Comey needs to be transparent + tell the public what he told me about whether he is or is not investigating @POTUS


Seems like Comey told Grassley he isn't investigating Trump.

What would Senator Grassley want Comey to tell the public so bad that he tweeted it DURING the hearing?

Sounds like he was growing tired of the bullshite.

I just saw the time stamp and realized it was during the hearing.
1) Grassley needs to go ahead and say it if it isn't confidential.
2) Grassely is 83?

I can't copy/paste twitter right now; so if someone else can; that'd be great.

Based on all of the information over the past few months, it would seem that whoever and whatever they are investigating, Trump's connection is that he is associated with those individuals, and they used to be on his team. But Trump himself hasn't been a focus.

Even if Manafort did something illegal, they probably wanted to make sure it wasn't related to his previous position. Apparently it's not, but they probably wanted to make sure. Maybe "cover their bases" got overrated in terms of its likelihood.

bullshite. You don't have ONE piece of evidence to share with us regarding this.

Yet, the media still lumps him in.

You have no idea Manafort did anything wrong. Again, see first response. Name one thing. ANYTHING.

Whatever that means...

Well the stories have focused on his associates, not him. Obviously I can't prove that they weren't investigating him, but the stories have been saying otherwise.

Trump lumped himself in. The media has tried to say otherwise, but go ahead and blame the media for instead.

"Even if" was included for a reason; I was clearly using it as a hypothetical to show how the story could get twisted.

It means if they were investigating ex-advisors, then the probably wanted to make sure that they were investigating wasn't related to their positions in the campaign. Hence, my "even if" scenario where one of them did something illegal, but it had nothing to do with the campaign itself, but it would be doing due diligence to make sure. Therefore, that part, as a matter of diligence, could have gotten overrated.

Are you saying that the media tried to say Trump WASN'T involved?

I think it's obvious it's what his tweet meant. You want me to change the OP?

Maybe guilt by association, but the journalist actually covering it have been specifically stating that these war associates. Even the infamous NYT article says that they don't know whether anybody else is being investigating, including Trump himself.

No. I'm just saying that it's been fairly obvious for a few weeks now. This is just support of that. But none of us know what is actually happening for sure.

The fact you take any of them at their word is more telling than any of the bullshite you vomited in your preceding posts.

Grassley can tell Trump and then Trump can use his declassification privilege
