"Comey revealed that after his firing he had actually tried to spur the special counsel's appointment by giving one of his memos about Trump to a friend of his to leak to the press."

Wow, the head of the FBI leaking documents to try to get a special prosecutor?

I've been reading a lot about his testimony and so far I don't think there is anything new about Trump.....but a couple of 'bombshells' about him being the source of leaked documents and about getting directed by Lynch to provide some cover for Hillary.

I found this interesting:

I'm not so wise as these lawyer guys.....but it kind of make sense to me. I have never really understood why the founding fathers gave the POTUS the king-like power to absolve/pardon. And yet every POTUS routinely pardons thousands of criminals!

So while it might not look good to direct the FBI to stop an investigation.....it sure seems like the POTUS has that power.

I think he was trying to walk that tightrope of being non-committal, because that's how you survive in the kind of job that spans multiple presidential administrations. But it finally bit him, mainly because Trump is impulsive and Trump is obsessed with surrounding himself with yes-men. Which Comey is not.

Nothing in his testimony seemed particularly dramatic, although some of the news headlines are trying to spin it that way (*cough* Politico). Patriot? I don't really see that either. I think he was mostly trying for self-preservation, even though it ultimately failed.

And this is my you 'lawyer up'. Trump should have done this from day one. Quit tweeting and let the lawyers handle things. That's what they do for a living! If you want to tweet, brag about employment number or the number of border crossing going down, etc.

I think Comey may be digging hole.

So here is suggestion. You get a new boss who is coming in and bringing his team with him. You are not sure if you will continue to have a job or not.

Write yourself a memorandum for record:

Dear Self, Today my boss made a pass at me. He said, "You sure do have nice hair" and smiled and kind tilted his head. I felt very uncomfortable and did not respond in anyway.

3 months later when you get fired, leak the memo to HR and when they call you in to question you, tell them it was you who leaked the memo and you think you were fired for not yielding to the bosses advances.

I would like to have McCain over to my house for beers while we stand around the grill........you know he's gonna quickly head off into "what the hell is he even saying land" and it would be hysterical.

During yesterday's hearing Mark Warner (D, VA) said this:

"...we must find out the full story, what the Russians did, and, candidly, as some other colleagues have mentioned, why they were so successful. And, more importantly, we must determine the necessary steps to take to protect our democracy and ensure they can’t do it again."

Trump needs to say exactly this. I really don't care that it may hurt his feelings or in some way diminish the magnitude of his electoral victory. The Russians (and others possibly) pose a tangible threat to our democracy, a vital thread in the fabric of our country. Trump needs to recognize this and address this issue head on. Until he does his Presidency will continue to flounder and fail.

The problem is the whole "Russian thing" has been billed as path towards impeaching President Trump and a way to make it look like he did not really win....or would not have won had it not been for the Russians. If you dig deep enough you can find some dirt on almost anyone!. This is the very nature of a 'witch hunt'. There has not been a shred of evidence of Trump/Russian collusion and yet MSM still talks about it like it is Watergate!

I don't know....after listening to Comey I'd say our own intelligence community poses a bigger threat to out security than the Russians do.

Warner's quote and my comment said nothing about Trump. No doubt MSM has this like a dog with a bone and Trump keeps on chumming the waters. This STILL does not address the principal issue of what Russia did and how it threatens our democracy. Everything else is a sideshow IMHO

I think the Russians were doing what intel agencies do.....the were looking for someone willing to sell out their country or someone they could flip or blackmail. The important thing is were they successful and what do we need to do to make sure they don't do it again. Trump has said all along he supports this. The problem is the constant msm reporting on bs. Oh look, billionaire Krushner had a RUSSIAN 'connection' aha!
