Excellent, thank-you. Here is the text...........................

In his testimony former FBI director James Comey echoed a view that I alone have been expressing for several weeks, and that has been attacked by nearly every Democratic pundit.


Comey confirmed that under our Constitution, the president has the authority to direct the FBI to stop investigating any individual. I paraphrase, because the transcript is not yet available: the president can, in theory, decide who to investigate, who to stop investigating, who to prosecute and who not to prosecute. The president is the head of the unified executive branch of government, and the Justice Department and the FBI work under him and he may order them to do what he wishes.

As a matter of law, Comey is 100 percent correct. As I have long argued, and as Comey confirmed in his written statement, our history shows that many presidents—from Adams to Jefferson, to Lincoln, to Roosevelt, to Kennedy, to Bush 1, and to Obama – have directed the Justice Department with regard to ongoing investigations. The history is clear, the precedents are clear, the constitutional structure is clear, and common sense is clear.

Yet virtually every Democratic pundit, in their haste to “get” President Trump, has willfully ignored these realities. In doing so they have endangered our civil liberties and constitutional rights.

Now that even former Director Comey has acknowledged that the Constitution would permit the president to direct the Justice Department and the FBI in this matter, let us put the issue of obstruction of justice behind us once and for all and focus on the political, moral, and other non-criminal aspects of President Trump’s conduct.

Comey’s testimony was devastating with regard to President Trump’s credibility – at least as Comey sees it. He was also critical of President Trump’s failure to observe the recent tradition of FBI independence from presidential influence. These are issues worth discussing but they have been distorted by the insistence of Democratic pundits that Trump must have committed a crime because they disagree with what he did politically.


Director Comey’s testimony was thoughtful, coherent and balanced. He is obviously angry with President Trump, and his anger has influenced his assessment of the president and his actions. But even putting that aside, Comey has provided useful insights into the ongoing investigations.

I was disappointed to learn that Comey used a Columbia law professor as a go-between to provide information to the media. He should have has the courage to do it himself. Senators must insist that he disclose the name of his go-between so that they can subpoena his memos and perhaps subpoena the professor-friend to provide further information.

I write this short op-ed as Comey finishes his testimony. I think it is important to put to rest the notion that there was anything criminal about the president exercising his constitutional power to fire Comey and to request – “hope” – that he let go the investigation of General Flynn. Just as the president would have had the constitutional power to pardon Flynn and thus end the criminal investigation of him, he certainly had the authority to request the director of the FBI to end his investigation of Flynn.

So let’s move on and learn all the facts regarding the Russian efforts to intrude on American elections without that investigation being impeded by frivolous efforts to accuse President Trump of committing a crime by exercising his constitutional authority.

Three times he referred to President Trump as Mr. Comey. He ignored all the gavels alerting him that his time was up. Pretty sad. I have to agree it's past time for him to retire.

ThnX, I almost made it half way.....

Monotone voice, sounds like he was about to fall asleep..
 
I agree with Trump, being captured doesn't make you a war hero. And for those of you not old enough to remember

We need to set a maximum age of those who can hold national office. Can we really trust the future of our nation and its children to demented octogenarians?

Actually he was pointing out the hypocrisy from Comey.

lets face it, Comey was fired and he is angry and this is his parting shot at Trump.

Hillary scared him, by extension Obama did the same thing through Lynch to Comey that the democrats are accusing Trump of doing to Comey.

The Democrats are witnessing and playing part to the total distruction of their party.
Before their very eyes they are watching as Chapters in history books are being written,

What the Hell happened to the two party system

What happened to he Democrat Party in the 20teens

How could a major party take themselves down in a short 10 years, starting with electing the first black President

Shut the fuck up you ignorant savage.
 
I'm guessing his age, not any drugs have to do with this.

He wasn't completely senile, he just missed some things. He did, however ask some good questions. And I really can't stand him. It didn't surprise me at all that Obama whopped his ass in 08'
