Comey Senate Intelligence Committee Testimony Thread

[Santander]

Comey keeps calling Trump a liar.

They happen to disagree with their recollection of the details of the events that occurred.

lol, Risch has as much disregard for the chain of command as Trump. If the chief executive of the executive branch tells one of his employees (a Presidential appointee, at that) that he "hopes" they do something, it is basically an order.

Comey's memos were "saved for later." Later happened to be after he was fired. Could it be that Comey was blackmailing the President?

Blackmailing him with a conversation in which Trump himself overstepped multiple times? No. He probably foresaw all of this.

So why did he leak them only after he was fired?

I'm sure he saved the memos to try to resolve the situation through the appropriate channels. The DOJ was very much in flux at the time. When he got fired, he got cut off from the "appropriate channels".

MUH FREEDUMB

Oh and Trump's lawyers and aides will be believable if we get them under oath to swear Comey is unequivocally wrong. They should offer to swear out that statement in testimony to Congress. Until then they're full of it because at this point only one side has sworn under oath.

Showboat swore an oath did he. I guess that makes him super duper trustworthy.

Compared to the other side that didn't swear on oath in their statements? Yep.

     People lie under oath all the time. I don't necessarily disbelieve Comey, but I am convinced at this point of something I have suspected since last October; namely, that he is a compulsive attention seeker. That tendency casts doubt on much of what he says.

Surely this describes Trump more than Comey.

Trump just likes being a shiny object.

Comey thinks he's a sheriff bringing truth and justice to the Wild West. His type of attention-seeking happens to be productive, but is also filled with arrière-pensées.
