This is what James Comey Said Under Oath

“Former FBI Director James Comey testified under Senate oath May 3rd that the Trump administration had not pressured his agency to halt any investigation for political purposes. Comey admitted that the FBI has always been free to operate without political interference –flying in the face of Democrats’ [never-ending allegations] about Russia and President Donald J. Trump…

This week an unknown, unidentified person called a New York Times reporter and read to him a memo that supposedly Comey had written after a meeting with Trump back on Valentine’s Day where Trump hoped that the Flynn matter would not proceed further, three weeks after the FBI had cleared Flynn.

The FBI had cleared Flynn of any malfeasance in the phone calls that they had surveilled that Flynn had had with the Russian ambassador. Flynn had been cleared on those. There were other things, whether or not he accepted money for a speech illegally and this focus on the Logan Act, which has never been prosecuted. But, in terms of the phone call where the Russian ambassador was being surveilled by the NSA, maybe the FBI.

They desperately wanted to be able to say that Flynn had promised a quid pro quo, that he had promised the Russian ambassador that when Trump took the oath of office, that they would end the sanctions that Obama placed on the Russians and they’d welcomed back the 35 diplomats that Obama had kicked out of the country. None of that happened.

After that, Comey didn’t tell anybody about this. We’re led to believe that the president attempted to obstruct justice or interfere in the investigation, and Comey said not a word, which he is legally obligated to do. If somebody in the administration tries to interfere in your investigation, that’s obstruction of justice; you have a duty to report that to the DOJ. You don’t sit on that. But Comey didn’t report it to anybody.

There’s nothing here. There’s not a shred here. There’s no evidence whatsoever to even warrant this investigation. The only reason for the investigation is what the Democrats always rely on:

“Of course we have no evidence. It’s the seriousness of the charge that requires us to get to the bottom of it!”

One memo! Fake news, essentially. It’s undocumented. It’s anonymously sourced. The memo’s not even ever been seen. It was read to them.

On the other hand Hillary gives away 20% of our countries uranium to the Russians.... dumps 33,000 e-mails on the FBI to investigate and the FBI finds 110 "Top Secret" e-mails sent on Several different (Non secure) servers, basically committing treason, and all the FBI can say is....."Hillary made a mistake"???? and the matter ends there.

On May 9th, Trump fired Comey, who essentially has spent 15 years pandering for the Clintons.

simple fact all federal employees that are not elected or protected by the constitution (aka judges). they serve at the pleasure of the president. the president has the legal right to fire any of them in fact he can fire his vice president because the vice president is not an elected offical.
