And they will be shocked when they learn he actually can prove it was before. It will take them two minutes to recover. Then they will immediately and vigorously deny that he proved it.
Thought I read that Graham wanted Comey to testify before the Senate Judiciary Cmte - could this be McConnellâs way of preempting that, by pushing to have him appear before Intel instead?
If so, any thoughts as to why? Maybe Burr less independent-minded and easier to control than Graham?
Because it worked out so well for Trey Gowdy & Co. when they Benghazied HRC on a live telecast.
They have already worked out the talking points: âif what Trump said was such a big deal why didnât you do anything about it at the time?â So either Trump just made some innocent meaningless remark, or Comey is a fiend and that is the real issue.
Remarkable how he only finds his spine when his meal ticket is in jeopardy.
Iâve heard that offered as a defense by members of the GOP several time today - âWhy didnât Comey release this at the time if he was so offended?â Iâm not defending Trump in any way about anything, but Comey will have to answer that.
Comey circulated the memos at the time they were written.
He will have to answer that. The answer may be as simple as, âI canât answer that without compromising the ongoing investigation.â And letâs remember, Comey has testified in closed session. Itâs possible he did tell them.
Thatâs as good a walk back as youâll get from Mitch at this point.
Also wondering if that PAC money he got at the convention is weighing in the back of his evil little mind.
Mitch is too pretty to go to jail.
I went over to Faux News the other night, I think it was the night of the classified into given to Russians in Oval office scandal night, it was a repeat of Tucker Carlson. I kid you not, caught the tail end of some Obama blah blah story followed by a story on some new menâs fashion called âJumper Pantsâ. Tucker interviewing some woman talking about these âJumper Pantsâ with inset video of men jumping up and down in some weird pants.
I repeat: I kid you not.
I donât think I could a post more. Thatâs so Fox. To the baboon supporters, if itâs not on Fox itâs fake news or not happening.
I know - but the Republicans will try to make a case out of the fact that he should have done something (like resigned) if he thought there was a problem. Comey will be able handle this just fine, but he will be asked.
Well, not really, because it depends on the station the teevee is watched on.
@coimmigrant: lots of right wingers were drooling over Trey Gowdy and his investigation. Thought it was powerful and successful.
What ? ? âŚ
You mean heâs learned how to paint a face on his ass and walk backwards ? ? âŚ
A manâs got to know when to hold on to his ass, and this is definitely one of those times.
Blindly trusting McConnellâs motives is a sure way to get fragged hard, publicly.
This tortoise is up to something and you can take that to the bank.
McConnell: Your wife must resign her cabinet position.
It is beyond obvious that you are going to be called upon - indeed, you are now called upon - to render judgment on the allegedly (and, it looks like, quite probably) illegal, impeachable activities of Ms. Chaoâs employer.
You had your chest all pumped up when you were defying President Obama.
Now, you are just a little cricket - in the face of a real threat to our democracy.
You say nothing. Just laugh when asked if Trump can be trusted with classified information.
You are a sham.
You sought the high office and won the votes of Kentuckians. But you have betrayed and diminished the high honor of those Kentucky senators in whose footsteps you follow.
You must resign, or Ms. Chao must resign.
Preferably both, but either is a must.
âWe Need To Hear From Himâ
" What we do the information, is an entirely different matter " â
Oh, and this, McConnell:
Trump played you for a fool and you fell.
Appointing your wife to a cabinet job neutered you.
How does it feel?
