Comey lies 200 times

noise said:
Comey to House Committee: answered “I don’t remember” 71 times, “I don’t know” 166 times and “I don’t recall” eight times.

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., and House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., published the 235-page transcript as a part of an agreement with Comey.

The former bureau boss frustrated GOP lawmakers during Friday’s session, in large part because his lawyers urged him not to answer numerous questions. Comey is expected to return later in the month for another round, though blasted Republicans on his way out for what he called a “desperate attempt to find anything that can be used to attack the institutions of justice investigating this president.”

But while Comey insisted in the interview that “we never investigated the Trump campaign for political purposes,” the transcript shows he claimed ignorance or memory lapses in response to questions concerning key details and events in the Russia investigation, which some GOP lawmakers continue to claim was improperly conducted.

The transcript reveals lawmakers’ frustration with his lack of specifics.

Asked if he recalled who drafted the FBI’s “initiation document” for the July 2016 Russia investigation, Comey said, “I do not.” He again claimed not to know when asked about the involvement in that initiation of Peter Strzok, whose anti-Trump texts later got him removed from the special counsel’s probe.

When asked if the FBI had any evidence that anyone in the Trump campaign conspired to hack the DNC server, Comey gave a lengthy answer referring to Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation as to why he couldn’t answer.

“Did we have evidence in July of (2016) that anyone in the Trump campaign conspired to hack the DNC server?” Comey asked rhetorically. “I don't think that the FBI and special counsel want me answering questions that may relate to their investigation of Russian interference during 2016. And I worry that that would cross that line.”

When pressed further by Gowdy about what “factual predicate” the bureau had to launch a counterintelligence investigation, Comey again claimed that answering that question would be a “slope” that would ask him to reveal what the FBI “did or didn’t know about Russia activity” as it related to the 2016 election.

“You can't tell us, or you won't tell us?” Gowdy asks.

“Probably a combination of both ... To the extent I recall facts developed during our investigation of Russian interference and the potential connection of Americans, I think that's a question that the FBI doesn't want me answering. So it's both a can't and a won't,” Comey replied.

The former FBI director went on to say that anything related to Mueller’s investigation, to his understanding, would be “off limits" as it is an ongoing investigation.

Comey was also fuzzy on the eventual Democratic funding of the research that went into the controversial and unverified anti-Trump dossier.

Asked when he learned that the firm behind the dossier, Fusion GPS, was hired by law firm Perkins Coie – and when he learned that law firm was hired by the Democratic National Committee – Comey said “I never learned that” while director.

Comey also claimed not to know key details surrounding the involvement of Christopher Steele, the former British spy who authored the dossier.

Asked when Steele was “terminated” as an FBI source, Comey said he didn’t know.

Asked about Steele’s subsequent contact with Justice Department official Bruce Ohr, Comey said, “I don’t know anything about that.”

The Comey appearance comes as Republicans try to probe deeper into the FBI’s handling of both the Russia case and Hillary Clinton email investigation, before Democrats take control of the House in January and likely shut down these lines inquiry.

Comey was asked numerous questions as well about the handling of the Clinton case, acknowledging at times that certain aspects of it were “unusual” while defending other actions.

I'm sorry but it is not possible to be grossly negligent about the actions someone else is taking. Clinton is not guilty of breaking any law when the act was performed by Huma Abedin.

James Comey revealed Wednesday that Hillary Clinton emails containing classified information were "somehow" being forwarded to former congressman Anthony Weiner by his wife and top Clinton aide, Huma Abedin.

The FBI found no criminal intent in Huma Abedin's action.


I see you have nothing. Finding out someone broke the law requires actually doing some investigating, not just regurgitating news stories you didn't bother to read.
 
Poor Richard Saunders said:
Gross negligence is required for gross negligence. Inadvertent actions are not gross negligence. Carelessness is not gross negligence. Failure to follow rules is not gross negligence unless it is blatant disregard to the point that it is intentional.

But if you want to define a specific action as gross negligence then we can apply that standard to everyone. That is the way legal standards work.

nonsense statement

But there was nothing "inadvertent" about Clinton purposely using her private server.
She was given training ( which she signed off on) that she was supposed to use State.gov for State dept related
( government Emails).

Further she was trained to use the " high side" State.gov addy when classified info is transversed.
That includes all classified info -both marked and unmarked. again she signed off on this.

You keep saying this subsection requires intent -it does NOT.
read the full Act.

Anthony Weiners laptop is a perfect ex.of why intent is not needed to violate the gross negligence section.
hopefully you get the obvious reason why forwarding to that laptop puts classified info at risk.

Abedin of course is culpable, but she did that at the direction of Clinton -again another reason to charge her ( both)

It’s impossible to commit treason because we aren’t at war with anyone.

Hillary is lucky to be unindicted. She can thank Comey for that. I think it’s astoundng that she keeps injecting herself into issues instead of going into hiding somewhere.

And, yes. Not from top to bottom but people have already been fired or demoted for extreme bias by the IG. That level of bias is a kind of corruption.

Here is the entire transcript. I read it all. Maybe you or someone else can note the page number(s) of Comey's supposed lies.

Cons might want to note this comment by John Ratcliffe-R, Texas 4th District, pages 46-47.

Mr. Ratcliffe: I didn't say investigate people, but in the course of investigating if you become aware of things that cause
concern to investigators, like you've expressed you had, isn't there an obligation to pursue that?

Lol. It went pretty fast, the writer used the "double space, wide margin" technique.

I think Comey went easier on trump than he deserved; Comey kept saying that he didn't know what was in trump's mind when he made certain statements, as in trump saying on Faux news that he fired Comey over Russia. And he didn't have a good answer for why he went public with the October surprise about Hillary's emails, but sat on the info about the Russia investigation and its possible ties to trump.

On the plus side he did bring in some of trump's egregious lies, such as the tweet where trump claimed he had pics of Comey and Mueller hugging and kissing.

There's going to be another interview in December. I really would like to know what the righties considered to be lies so I could go back and read them more closely.

I would suggest that there's no doubt in the least that Comey and Mueller are actively working together on bringing down Trump.

Why in hell would they not? And in fact, why would they not be able to admit they are colluding to bring down Trump. Mueller is the FBI and so are Comey's loyalties.

Those defending Trump are growing weaker and weaker by the day in their protests. And that is apparent with the GOP too! The orange prick's goose is cooked!

That "there's no doubt in the least that Comey and Mueller are actively working together on bringing down Trump" is baseless. "Why wouldn't they?" is not enough reason to say there's no doubt.

If there's really nothing there, why would they collude?

I absolutely despise trump but I want him to be taken down cleanly and legally.

The point you are missing is that Mueller and Comey are colluding in a totally legal way. Mueller is the FBI and Comey is an American citizen who retains huge amounts of information that can and will be used against Trump. Think it over and get back to me if you care enough.

Collusion is not always a bad word. Sometimes good and great people work in collusion to accomplish wonderful things!

Remember the laptop that the Capitol Police found that was left for them by Imran Awan. Awan got a sweetheart plea deal.

You know it.

Are you best friends with Robert Mueller?

Mr. Comey: I am not. I admire the heck out of the man, but I don't know his phone number, I've never been to his house,
I don't know his children's names. I think I had a meal once alone with him in a restaurant. I like him. I am not a --
I'm an associate of his who admires him greatly. We're not friends in any social sense.

Mr. Nadler: Thank you. I will not ask whether you've ever hugged and kissed him.

Mr. Comey: A relief to my wife.
