Are you guys /r/The_Donald users? You can't be this retarded? How are you all this retarded, constantly spinning bad news for Trump into him somehow winning his game of 5D Chess?
The Comey testimony was extremely bad for Trump and if true, demonstrates that Trump tried to influence the investigation into Flynn - obvious obstruction of justice
Are you all retarded? Do you not know how words work?
If Trump said "I hope you can let this go" about Flynn, that is literally obstruction of justice and he will be removed from office. It's even worse if Trump subtly brought up Comey's employment situation before getting into this topic, it makes it even more clear cut
What don't you people get? You think you have this revolutionary viewpoint that highly intelligent prosecutors and government officials are simply not getting? What is it you guys think is happening here?
You've all clearly diverged from reality in a truly disturbing way and this is just a testament to the effectiveness of charismatic but ineffective leaders on weak minds, as well as the effectiveness of propaganda.

Fuck, hoping for shit is a crime now.

I'd tell you to watch the testimony itself since it is clear you did not, but that would mean depriving your of the enjoyment you get from being the last on the link of the disgusting human centipede-like ass-to-mouth thing you've got going on with WaPo, CNN, etc.
>>129129846
Your boss comes in and subtly talks about potential replacements for your job and asks for loyalty, then says "I hope you can let this go"
That is an attempt to influence the investigation. That is an attempt to exert his power as Comey's boss on the result of the investigation. That is obstruction of justice.
If he said "I hope" in private conversation it's okay. But he said it to Comey's face in a serious one on one conversation regarding his job
This is straightforward and if it were happening on the other side you would realize this, but you're clearly heavily biased.
Trump WILL be removed and you're all going to lose your minds because you're morons out of touch with reality.

So you clearly didn't actually watch it...

That's what it is, Trump was very clearly trying to intimidate Comey into dropping the investigation
This is clear because:

-He asked for loyalty
-He said he hopes Comey can drop the investigation
That is a clear case of Trump trying to intimidate Comey into dropping the investigation, this is obstruction of justice.

His salty tears are delicious.
"I hope"
The problem comes when proving an intent to influence an ongoing investigation. 'It's obvious' doesn't cut it. A transcript (or memo for that matter) is especially problematic for that matter. If there are tapes of the conversation, they would shed more light on the nature of the conversation, and thus on Trump's intent. It's suspicious that Comey did not report Trump's message as soon as possible, as is required. This lets me suspect (without proof obviously) that Comey is intentionally misrepresenting the situation. In the absence of tapes, this may become relevant to the case as well.
Although I personally don't believe there is a case, I can't really say anything definitive, as I lack facts. OP is a fool for being so certain. He didn't give any arguments other than 'this is obvious'. So saged. And kys.
>>129139982

>>129137178
It's literally not obstruction of justice. Asking someone to let it go THE DAY AFTER he was fired and he's your fucking boss, is not a crime and it is not obstruction of justice. Why do you hate this country so much?

Except its not. The POTUS can just fire the director if he won't take hints.

Not by any stretch of the imagination illegal. Trump possesses complete control over the FBI, he could have forcibly stopped the investigation if he wanted.

Surviving media shitstorms that would easily destroy the life and careers of lesser men is an everyday occurrence for this goy. It's going to take a lot more than the word of cuck Comey to bring him down.
>>129138518
You realize its within Trumps rights to quite literally say stop investigating x. And the FBI director can say yes or no.
Its obviously ethically gray, but far from obstruction or any crime where violence or intimidation is involved.

Funny. Comey himself already testified that is was perfectly normal for Presidents to say stuff like that, or give their opinions on what should or shouldn't be investigated.
Do you really think that the rules for a President talking to an FBI Director are so stringent that they can't carry on a basic, normal conversation without running into impeachment territory? That FBI Directors are such snowflakes that they can't handle a president giving an opinion?

Why would you keep an FBI director who 3 times told you and leaders of Congress that Trump was under investigation, and when you personally request him to notify the American people, he refuses and decides to "leak" his own memos via a friend to the press? That's what got him fired, not because of the "muh Flynn" story you're now trying to push.

Recall we began this entire process with the president and his staff first denying that the Russians were ever involved and then falsely claiming that no one from his team was ever in touch with any Russians. We know that's just not the truth.
Numerous Trump associates had undisclosed contacts with Russians before and after the election, including the president's attorney general, his former national security adviser and his current senior adviser, Mr. Kushner.
That doesn't even begin to count the host of additional campaign associates and advisers who have also been caught up in this massive web.
Senator Mark Warner - Senate Intelligence Committee Hearing on June 8.
>>129130379
If that's even close to being true, Debbie washerman Schultz will be going to prison for a very long time.
We saw Mr. Trump's campaign manager, Mr. Manafort, forced to step down over ties to Russian back entities. The national security adviser, General Flynn, had to resign over his lies about engagements with the Russians, and we saw the candidate himself express an odd and unexplained affection for the Russian dictator while calling for the hacking of his opponent. There's a lot to investigate.
Enough, in fact, that director Comey publicly acknowledged that he was leading an investigation into those links between Mr. Trump's campaign and the Russian government. As the director of the FBI, Mr. Comey was ultimately responsible for conducting that investigation, which might explain why you're sitting now as a private citizen. What we do know was at the same time that this investigation was proceeding, the president himself appears to have been engaged in an effort to influence or at least co-opt the director of the FBI. The testimony Mr. Comey submitted for today's hearing is very disturbing.
For example, on January 27th, after summoning Director Comey to dinner, the president appears to have threatened director's job while telling him "I need loyalty. I expect loyalty." At a later meeting, on February 14th, the president asked the attorney general to leave the Oval Office, so that he could privately ask Director Comey again "To see way clear to letting Flynn go." That is a statement that Director Comey interpreted as a request that he drop the investigation connected to general Flynn's false statements.
Senator Mark Warner - Senate Intelligence Committee on June 8.
Opening remarks by James Comey - former Director of FBI
He told me repeatedly that he had talked to lots of people about me, including our current Attorney General, and had learned that I was doing a great job, and that I was extremely well-liked by the FBI workforce.
So it confused me when I saw on television the president saying that he actually fired me because of the Russia investigation, and learned again from the media that he was telling privately other parties that my firing had relieved great pressure on the Russian investigation. I was also confused by the initial explanation that was offered publicly that I was fired because of the decisions I had made during the election year. That didn't make sense to me for a whole bunch of reasons, including the time and all the water that had gone under the bridge since those hard decisions that had to be made. That didn't make any sense to me. And although the law required no reason at all to fire an FBI director, the administration then chose to defame me and more importantly the FBI by saying that the organization was in disarray, that it was poorly led, that the workforce had lost confidence in its leader. Those were lies, plain and simple. And I am so sorry that the FBI workforce had to hear them, and I'm so sorry that the American people were told them.

That's 4 figures, learn to count.
WARNER: ...let's start with the January 6th meeting in Trump Tower, where you went up with a series of officials to brief the President-elect on the Russia investigation. My understanding is you remained afterwards to brief him, on again, "Some personally sensitive aspects of the information you relayed." Now you said after that briefing you felt compelled to document that conversation that you actually started documenting it as soon as you got into the car.
Now you've had extensive experience at the department of justice and at the FBI. You've worked under presidents of both parties. What was about that meeting that led you to determine that you needed to start putting down a written record?
COMEY: A combination of things. I think the circumstances, the subject matter, and the person I was interacting with. Circumstances, first, I was alone with the president of the United States, or the president-elect, soon to be president. The subject matter I was talking about matters that touch on the FBI's core responsibility, and that relate to the president, president-elect personally, and then the nature of the person. I was honestly concerned he might lie about the nature of our meeting so I thought it important to document. That combination of things I had never experienced before, but had led me to believe I got to write it down and write it down in a very detailed way.
WARNER: I think that's a very important statement you just made. Then, unlike your dealings with presidents of either parties in your past experience, in every subsequent meeting or conversation with this president, you created a written record. Did you feel that you needed to create this written record of these memos, because they might need to be relied on at some future date?
COMEY: Sure. I created records after conversations that I think I did it after each of our nine conversations. If I didn't, I did it for nearly all of them especially the ones that were substantive. I knew there might come a day when I would need a record of what had happened, not just to defend myself, but to defend the FBI and our integrity as an institution and the Independence of our investigative function. That's what made this so difficult is it was a combination of circumstances, subject matter and the particular person.
WARNER: And so in all your experience, this was the only president that you felt like in every meeting you needed to document because at some point, using your words, he might put out a non-truthful representation of that meeting.
COMEY: That's right, senator.

If Comey felt there was an attempt at obstruction of justice he was under legal obligation to report it immediately. Since he was head of the FBI, I assume he knew this. And since he did not report, I assume he did not consider it OOJ.

And yet every single person who has had access to the information of the investigation has said there is no evidence whatsoever of collusion. But its not about facts is it? Its about crafting a narrative.

Are you fucking stupid? Where are you getting this info?
>single person who has had access to the information of the investigation has said there is no evidence whatsoever of collusion
Not only is this just not true, but you have no way of knowing this. The investigation is ongoing so unless you're actually involved in it you can't say this with any level of accuracy, because it's all secret you retard
Why do you people say stuff that's just literally not true, and obviously so? Do you just like seeing your own words written on the internet? Kill yourself

You're mixing like three separate meetings into one you fucking dumbass. The "loyalty" bullshit was at the dinner and Trump was very friendly with Comey when enquiring about his job. No threat, no intimidation.
I saw Dem senators today try to say "Trump demanded of you repeatedly to shut down the Michael Flynn investigation" & that's not what fucking happened.
I'm upset that you've got to jerk yourself off for so long on this thread. Go fuck yourself

trump never said to drop the investigation. comey said he took trumps words of, "i hope you can let flynn go" as a directive. it doesn't necessarily mean it was a directive. it's vague as fuck and trying to convict someone on a vague line is about as retarded as you can get

Statement for the Record
Senate Select Committee on Intelligence
James B. Comey
June 8, 2017
January 27 Dinner
Near the end of our dinner, the President returned to the subject of my job, saying he was very glad I wanted to stay, adding that he had heard great things about me from Jim Mattis, Jeff Sessions, and many others.
He then said, “I need loyalty.” I replied, “You will always get honesty from me.” He paused and then said, “That’s what I want, honest loyalty.” I paused, and then said, “You will get that from me.” As I wrote in the memo I created immediately after the dinner, it is possible we understood the phrase “honest loyalty” differently, but I decided it wouldn’t be productive to push it further.
The term — honest loyalty — had helped end a very awkward conversation and my explanations had made clear what he should expect. During the dinner, the President returned to the salacious material I had briefed him about on January 6, and, as he had done previously, expressed his disgust for the allegations and strongly denied them.
He said he was considering ordering me to investigate the alleged incident to prove it didn’t happen. I replied that he should give that careful thought because it might create a narrative that we were investigating him personally, which we weren’t, and because it was very difficult to prove a negative.
He said he would think about it and asked me to think about it. As was my practice for conversations with President Trump, I wrote a detailed memo about the dinner immediately afterwards and shared it with the senior leadership team of the FBI.
