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.

Executive Order 12356 specifically excludes “embarrassing information” from being eligible to be classified. For good reason. The government is not allowed to hide things from citizens without good reason that’s how we keep Presidents from turning themselves into kings. Comey was within his rights to share the information. Leak, share, same thing in this instance. You’re wrong about a President having a right to confidentiality. Most presidents volunteer as much information about themselves as they can (like tax returns) in the interest of transparency.
Well it didn’t work with Obama did it .
Not sure what you’re talking about. Look, just be glad youre wrong. If you were right, a President could plan a murder, a fraud and a take over of the government, and so long as he was in the White House he could say it was all classified because it would embarrass him. Obviously, this isn’t correct. I think we’ve settled this now. Good talking.
Obama sent billions of dollars in cash on an airplane in the middle of the night to his Muslim terrorists friends in Iran. He made laws that allowed grown men in the bathrooms with little girls. Allowed Hillary to sell 25% of our uranium to Russia. So all this openness only applies to republicans, this is what makes it so sickening..
The Supreme Court ruled on the bathroom bill. Not obama. The Clinton Uranium story is bogus. See below. The $1.7billion you’re talking about was the final payment on a decades old agreement between Iran and the US. Obama was fulfilling an old obligation of the country. It wasn’t his doing. Here’s a link for that too. Hey, I didn’t like the job obama did. I didn’t vote for Hillary. That doesn’t make it right for Trump to fire the FBI Director for investigating his campaign. And none of that has anything to do with our discussion about what constitutes classified information. http://www.snopes.com/hillary-clinton-uranium-russia-deal/ https://www.google.com/amp/www.latimes.com/nation/nationnow/la-na-iran-payment-cash-20160907-snap-story,amp.html

Who just said that? Do you have a link? I’ve heard Comeys people say it was fine and I’ve heard Trumps people say it wasn’t (surprise surprise). Haven’t heard from a neutral person yet.
I just found this link. It looks like Comey didn’t do anything wrong. We’ll know for sure soon enough one way or the other. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.businessinsider.com/were-comey-leaks-legal-memos-2017-6
