Option C: No obstruction was made. Liberals and CNN can stretch it as much as they want, in front of the Supreme Court it will never hold up because it was not obstruction.

No orders were given, Comey's firing did not stop the investigation on Flynn, and Trump wasn't under investigation. The Left has become the party of conspiracy theorists.

>>129156282
The US elected Trump. Nobody elected Comey. Nobody. Not a single vote was ever cast for James Comey. Unelected government employees do not get to act autonomously of their elected superiors. Does this really need to be explained to you?

>>129157962

>>129156282
>is the head of the FBI supposed to be loyal to the president or the American people
Trump. He's not elected, he's literally an employee of the executive branch. Trump is the servant of the people but the executive agencies work for Trump and it's up to Trump to direct them for the sake of the people and for the other branches to keep him in check.

The fact that people don't understand this is proof that these executive agencies are out of control and all of them need to be severely downsized. They are NOT independent branches of the government, the executive branch has become a virtual conglomerate with these goons running around doing whatever they want.

>>129157962

Brilliant, let the President decide who gets investigated. Can you imagine if Obama had shut down the Benghazi or Clinton investigations? The FBI is independent of the executive branch and needs to stay that way to keep them in check.

The FBI was intended to be an independent entity in order to perform work that is not tainted by bipartisan issues. The FBI reports directly to the Justice dept., not the president. There is a reason for this layer of separation. Although Trump holds the responsibility to fire anybody under his administration, that does not mean that Comey's boss is Trump. If you have worked at a global corporation before, this would be easy to understand. My CEO could fire me for instance, but I answer to the president of my division and am not required to answer to my CEO. Yes, there are even checks and balances in the corporate world.

>>129158535
Wrong. You just admitted it. Trump is Comey's boss but Trump is our boss so argo we are Comey's bosses. His loyalty is for the American people and since the Constitution. Not Trump.

I have watched most of the testimony and you can banter about all the rest but It's crystal clear that Comey was an Ill fit for that job.

If you have ever had employees it is important for them to have fidelity in carrying out their roles. The head of the FBI should have huge fucking brass balls and stomping around all day making serious decisions while giving whatfor whenever it is needed.

The idea that Loretta Lynch cowed him and he was too afraid to speak his mind to Trump - that is a first rate pussy. His role to the President is in part to inform but instead he acted the part of a schoolgirl and wrote tear stained notes to himself about how scared he was.

Complete horseshit and the leak of the memo to the NYTimes is just icing on cake that Comey has a gaping vag his wife must plug every night.

Except that's not how it works, not even in practice. The person who puts the official in power is the person to whom the official is beholden to. That's how our government works, and it's why we elect the president and congressional members. To make them beholden to us.

If there is reason to believe there's wrong doing then it's the Congress that should be opening an investigation into the executive branch, which is the entire point of Congressional oversight. One way or another the FBI is not and was never intended to be an independent agency.

>>129158925
No, it was not. The DOJ is literally the AG's department and the AG is a cabinet member and it was literally formed by a past president under the executive branch. Over time it's evolved to become an executive agency that works to which Congress delegates some of its investigative powers and responsibility but it's still an executive agency.

>>129158987
You're a literal retard who doesn't understand how the executive branch works. We don't supercede Trump because we delegated our power to him by letting the president delegate work to appointed officials. Comey absolutely shouldn't be running off on his own because he's not serving the people's interest ever, he's serving his own. Trump is the people's interest and if there's wrongdoing it's the Congress's job to investigate Trump, not let an unelected official run around doing whatever he believes is right. You don't even understand the fundamental problem with the way the executive branch has expanded and how it's harmful to our nation.

>>129160854
I could but you will just claim I googled it anyways. The argument is that Trump is our servant which is true because we hired him. It doesn't mean that Trump doesn't have the right and responsibility to fire Comey, but Comey is loyal to the American people over Trump which is what many people are claiming otherwise.

The Comey issue is literally one of the only times I've seen /pol/ so divided, not even memeing.
Is this a terrible sign of what's to come?

Even /pol/ has a hard time mustering the courage to argue that you can't blame Trump, he is just too ignorant of the job to be good at it.

The divide stem from the cognitive dissonance created when a shill has to change the argument "Trump will be the best because he isn't a politician and will run the country like a business" to "Trump isn't being better because he doesn't know how to be a politician and you can't reaaally run the country like a business"

The attorney general was a cabinet position created amidst the birth of the US and the FBI was an agency developed solely to help the AG. Nowhere, in law, does it state that the AG responsibility is to serve the president. The official duties of the AG are to represent the United States in a court of law, review (Not judge) legal affairs within the US, give legal advice to the president or other head of agencies, etc. The AG is not subservient to the president nor was it intended to be. The same goes with every other dept. They are not legally obligated.

He fired Comey and now there is a special council because of Trump's prevarications. Did you not take into account about how they (Trump, AG, and Deputy AG) were tossing the hot excuse potato around for the reasons behind Comey's firing? Did you not take into account that Trump cleared an entire room just so to tell Comey to drop the investigations on Flynn? Did you not take into account that Trump's son-in-law is under investigation for potential counts of perjury for lying on his security clearance? There is just too much dirt on the carpet for anybody to neglect it and the fact of the matter is it's just too much to hide under the carpet at this point. Even if Trump is innocent in all of this mess, there are people in his administration that do not have mine or your interest at heart.

If the left really give up after this comey thing this place will be boring,we need them to latch on to something crazy but new.

Trump was never under investigation by the FBI, according to Comey. Trump knew he was never under investigation by the FBI, according to Comey. The extent of Trump's "obstruction" is an allegation that he asked Comey if Comey could "let the Flynn matter go." This is, at most, a borderline inappropriate question. It could have been resolved in the conversation with a simple: "No, sir, we cannot let it go until we conclude our investigation." To which Trump would have simply nodded and said ok. But Comey apparently is a (giant) beta and didn't realize he is allowed to present his point of view or participate in conversations. He just stood there silently stewing and feeling all "uncomfortable." Seriously, if Comey feels like cracking under this level of "pressure," his house must be just full of As Seen On TV crap. Regarding loyalty - wouldn't it be a bit weird if the FBI director wasn't loyal to the President? I'll admit the "let the Flynn go" thing was a bit inappropriate, but in the grand scheme of things, does the nation seriously need to come to a halt because the President allegedly said something that could be categorized as moderately inappropriate in a meeting to a (physical) giant of man? I think it's fair to characterize it as a misstep of somebody who is new to government/separation of powers. Holy shit: text wall. Sorry, newfag.

Horseshit. Seth's body was at least examined by law enforcement with jurisdiction. That fact alone establishes Seth Rich Theory > Russian Collusion Hypothesis.

>GOP completely blasted Obama for "being an amateur"

Yeah, Trump fired Comey because he was colluding with the leakers.

>Trump was never under investigation, per Comey.
>Trump genuinely asks Comey if he can "let Flynn investigation go."
> Comey clams up like little girl.
> Question is mildly inappropriate, at worst.

He wasn't intimidated. He's a political creature that has been on the Clinton take for decades.
