Senators suspect Comey lied and plotted to double-cross Trump, seek second special counsel

They attached a second letter to Michael E. Horowitz, the Justice Department’s inspector general, outlining all the avenues that need to be navigated — complete with new and expanded accusations. They want an investigation to look at whether Mr. Comey set up Mr. Trump as president-elect.
Mr. Comey visited Mr. Trump for an intelligence briefing at Trump Tower days before he took office. Mr. Comey broke the news about what he called a “salacious and unverified” dossier now known to have been bought by the Democratic Party from its contractor, former British spy Christopher Steele. It told of Mr. Trump supposedly frolicking with prostitutes in Moscow and overseeing Russia’s hacking of Democratic Party computers.
At the moment Mr. Comey called the scintillating dossier “unverified,” the FBI was using it to justify a wiretap on former Trump campaign volunteer Carter Page.
The briefing instantly leaked to CNN, rocking the transition team with a series of unverified dossier accusations. BuzzFeed then posted the 35-page dossier, which remains unconfirmed publicly.
“There is a question as to whether the FBI included the dossier in the briefing, and possibly leaked that it had done so, in order to provide the media a pretext to report on the dossier,” Mr. Grassley and Mr. Graham wrote.
The Grassley-Graham letter also asserts that information provided to the Judiciary Committee by Mr. Comey in a private interview is directly contradicted by the FBI’s Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act applications to spy on Mr. Page.
“Did Director Comey intentionally mislead the committee?” the senators say in the letter.

Still taking the comment out of context I see.

Context huh?
Seems like a difference of opinion we could use a special counsel to figure out.

Dude he is the duly elected President of the United Stand and at BEST the deep state purposely caused serious harm to his reputation at the infancy of his administration for specious political reasons. That’s AT BEST.
No other American President has faced such powerful adversaries before even being sworn in.

I feel like theres a limited number of alternate meanings for the word "unverified". How many are you aware of?

How about we put a moratorium on special counsels and hearings?
Seems it's all we're doing these days.

The comment was made in his testimony and the question pertained to only one part of the dossier. Comey never said the entire dossier was unverified. The unverified parts he's referring to are the personal and salacious portions.

What parts are demonstrated to be factual?

This just in:
Donald Trump will elect to Comey facing the death penalty

The Last Refuge (sundance) has been pretty spot on in his analysis of the goings on in our "Justice" apparatus.
Maybe THIS will help.

I doubt it was Coney who leaked it.
I'll bet it was Trump who did. This gets the fight out in the open. The media hasn't been able to help themselves and they keep forcing the story because "this might get Trump".
But what instead has been happening? More tidbits of the plot against him keep trickling out

Can you please let me know what parts you consider verified? No one, even all of the Democrats, even attempt to act like this dossier is even remotely credible or true at this point.

Oh you mean the dossier that the FBI and USAG's office refuses to say under oath if it was paid for with DOJ funds?

Not sure why they suspect he lied. There is ample proof he lied. Just a question of figuring out what all he lied about.
He needs to be thoroughly investigated and his leaks need to be exposed. Then prosecute this sorry sonofabitch.
