Discussion: Comey Fact-Checks Trump Tweet About Russia Hearing—During Russia Hearing

I put this in the category of “Secret Supplications of the Heart”:

By a rigid rule of this office,certain sorts of Public Prayers of Professional Christians are forbidden to take precedence of Secret Supplications of the Heart.

“Clearly, Trump as no defense.” Well he’s only got one offensive play in the playbook and it’s just as offal. :kissing:

Ewwww.

Rep. Sewell is like a dog with a bone—she is asking all kinds of great questions, and Comey is squirming.

I like her, and hope there is more of her to come.

IMO, TRUMPf spends a lot of time on the toilet…

Isn’t it great to actually see and hear a member of Congress act and sound like the adult they are suppose to be? My most recent moment of “whoa that’s what a member of Congress is suppose to sound like” was during the VP debate, the Malarkey debate between Ryan and Biden. I think it may be the only time I’ve watched the VP debate.

Are we closer to impeachment after this Russia hearing? I hope so.

As long as the GOP controls Congress, your dreams of impeachment are just that—dreams.

We won’t get impeachment until we take back Congress in 2018. Provided of course Russia doesn’t hack that one too.

Well, I’d say yes, but then again, tweeting seems like such a harmless and self gratifying thing to do, perhaps it were best if he did it 24/7, and leave the presidentin alone?

Yes, but there has to be something that clearly draws the line.

I’ll repeat what Diane Feinstein - he’s going to take himself out.

The Senate has more evidence than the House.

‘The NSA and FBI told Congress that Russia did not influence the electoral process.’ So that’s not quite accurate, that tweet?" Himes asked.

“It certainly wasn’t our intention to say that today,” Comey answered. “We don’t have any information on that subject. That’s not something that was looked at.”

Not something that was looked at?

“I have been authorized by the Department of Justice to confirm that the FBI, as part of our counterintelligence mission, is investigating the Russian government’s efforts to interfere in the 2016 presidential election,”

What am I missing here?

Since this is false, it should really be pulled down. We can’t play the lying game…

I don’t think so.

I don’t think Trump is that smart. I think Trump is as stupid as the people that are being described in this tweet. Let’s not forget that this is the guy who created an international incident with the US’s closest ally based on a conspiracy he watched/read on places that have lower standards than Fox News.

Yes, but there has to be something that clearly draws the line.

As long as Trump doesn’t nominate a pro-choice judge for the SC, he can do whatever he wants in office and the Republican Party will do nothing when it matters.
