MDC 7,843 Posted Wednesday at 01:09 AM What’s there to argue about? Everyone including Trump knows nothing is going to happen to Comey. Using the courts to harass people is something rich dirtbags do. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I might be wrong I think maybe the Crossfire Hurricane stuff is still fair game? Not sure. But it’s funny they didn’t charge him with any of that or lying about it. This is all about a leak about the Hillary emails investigation that helped Trump IIRC. - In the long long time ago Comey was a Republican appointee who IIIRC angered Dems because he got involved with some scandal involving AG John Ashcroft (torture?). Then he made Dems & Republicans both mad because he didn’t do exactly what they wanted with Hillary emails. Then he pissed Trump off because he investigated the DNC hack (which had to be investigated). Comey’s in his third cycle of controversy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't care who put him in place, as he's proven he is the type of guy who can be bought for the right price. But a bad guy is a bad guy no matter what fox or cnn says about the situation.

The FBI & intelligence community protect America from terrorists, spies, corruption, fraud, international crime, & drug & sex trafficking. IIRC he was decorated before he ever became FBID. Really IMO Trump, Bondi & Patel don’t have an ounce of the public service he’s made in his lifetime.

If you refuse to admit that, then there is no reason for further comment. Gun for hire in the FBI.... maybe he has debts he needs to pay.

No, talking about changing the statute of limitations of sexual abuse from 5(?), years to something like 30 years, so that they can run their kangaroo court proceedings for Carroll in the effort to sway voters before the elections.

SaintsInDome2006 617 Posted 18 hours ago Federal judge rules U.S. attorney in California has been 'unlawfully serving' in role — Judge J. Michael Seabright found that Trump appointee Bilal Essayli unlawfully assumed the post after resigning in July as interim U.S. attorney for the Central District of California. This is influential to the Comey/James cases in that Trump has been emotionally replacing US Attorneys on the slightest whim. Halligan got “appointed” the same way.

I thought I read they extended the law by 6 months, so that she could file her suit. What I read was that the window expired in 6 months. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SaintsInDome2006 617 Posted 11 hours ago Comey has filed a new motion to dismiss, on additional grounds. - Cruz screwed up the question. He was asking about McCabe & the leak was made by a totally different person. - Comey’s testimony - which merely said he wasn’t revisiting his testimony - was true.If Cruz wanted to refresh Comey’s statement he should have asked it as a new question. This isn’t quite as dumb as the James case but it’s a lot funnier considering it’s centered around Cruz’s muffing the play. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
