In dramatic testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee, former FBI Director James Comey couldn’t produce any evidence that President Donald Trump tried to interfere with investigations or that the President himself was under any investigation.
But he did take the opportunity to whine about his dismissal as FBI Director, saying the president left him “confused” and “concerned.”
With Washington all abuzz prior to the hearing, no doubt Democrats are shaking their heads now, realizing their hopes of tearing down the president are going up in smoke. Those hopes now rest on how far the media will go to distort Comey’s testimony to smear the president.

Hillary supporter
Not hardly , you lied all by yourself and have been doing it for years..
Tex, you’re falling into a trap. These are separate issues. I personally think Hillary should have been charged. Here’s the thing. The evidence MAY have supported a charge of “Mishandling of Classified Information,” which is only a misdemeanor. Far from treason. If a Clerk in the Pentagon were charged with this they’d get some training and keep their job. That’s why Clinton wasn’t charged. It’s a trivial matter. That, and they couldn’t prove her intent, which is a required element of the crime. But that whole situation has zero to do with the current drama. Trump fired Comey BECAUSE Trump wanted Comey to ease up on “the Russia thing” and to be “loyal.” Comeys statements on that are consistent and credible. Trumps have been inconsistent and less credible. If you don’t think trump lying about why he fired Comey is a big deal, you’re entitled to that opinion. But you have to just be willfully blind to deny that Trump looks a lot less credible than Comey regarding THIS situation. And you also have to accept that it is totally improper for any elected official to ask law enforcement to be “loyal,” because that conflicts with the job of being a neutral gatherer of evidence. Those things aren’t opinions. They’re facts.
What’s Comey lying about. The only thing Trumps Attorney denied was that Trump asked for a loyalty pledge. Is that what you mean?
He caused Hillary to lose be announcing the FBI reopened the case against her right before the election. Not really comparable with “support.”
I’m hearing “traitor” tossed around a lot. How’s he a traitor? I’m not aware of what he did to betray the USA.
Because his statements are consistent and make sense with the chain of events. Also because no one has denied his statements accept for the one about Trump asking for a loyalty pledge. That’s why.
He keep her out of jail
Not true. The evidence might have supported charging the misdemeanor Mishandling of Classified Information. A Pentagon clerk pled guilty to that, received some training and kept their job. And there wasn’t proof of intent, so even that would have been hard. Also, the FBI doesn’t decide who gets charged. The US Attorneys office does (Loretta Lynch). So, he didn’t keep her out of jail and he probably cost her the election.
Yes he did keep her out of jail regardless of what you think she lied under oath to congress
