Second cup of Coffee Talk

[RobBase]

I am moving into my bomb shelter for the next month.

Good idea. The evil sunlight can't kill you in there.

 

[Darkstone42]

So I wonder what huge diversion is coming....

Al Jazeera network reports being under cyberattack

Well, that was fast.

Summary for anyone looking to catch up:

Comey said Trump lied about the reason why he was fired - called it "defame" and "lies".

Comey claimed it was inappropriate for Trump to ask everyone else to vacate the Oval Office so that he could talk to Comey alone.

Comey admitted being a coward and not raising his concerns sooner.

Comey thought that Trump might lie about their meetings so made these memos of them, but he didn't think to do that with Clinton or Obama.

Comey leaked his memo to the media via a liberal Columbia professor. That's right, the *FBI DIRECTOR leaked to the media in order to "force" a special prosecution.

Comey stated Trump was NOT under investigation for Russia ties.

Comey said that Lynch told him to use the term "matters" instead of "investigation" in the email probe.

Comey didn't say Trump lied about why he was fired; he quoted Trump in interviews saying Comey was fired because the Russia investigation was a cloud over him.

Comey also said he didn't respond directly to Trump about the inappropriateness of his interactions because he was caught off guard by them, and, in the moment, prioritized being careful about how he responded.

When Comey leaked his memos, he was a private citizen, and no longer the FBI director.

 

[Darkstone42]

I think it's very telling that Comey, given his experience, did not deem Trump sufficiently trustworthy to be honest about the content of their conversations. One would hope he's got a decent feel for that sort of thing, and given his record of service, it seems likely that he does.

I can't believe the restraint President Trump has shown thus far, surely (shorely) a tweet storm is brewing, no?

He kind of said everything he had to say prior to.

He should get some credit for saying he was told 3 times by Comey he was not under investigation. And he was proved right.

Someone has surely unplugged the White House Wifi.

Olympus is down?!?

 

[Darkstone42]

Also, Comey is a darned clever dude. I don't think getting on his bad side is a good idea in general.

No, they just have Comcast.

Man, that last paragraph could have used a proof-reader - "In sum, it is not established that there the President"

/It needs a dagnabit somewhere in there

The Russians?

You need to let that go

Can someone photoshop a suit and tie on this guy and they can then use the shot as a picture of Trump's lawyer.
