What a snitch. He caused this presidency and now he's doing an about face. Comey should just run in 2020 instead of playing with America's feelings.

Yours is a woefully uninformed reading of the situation.

Please dont pull a Rachel Maddow

Small correction: I've held and expressed this position before Trump ever moaned about Comey.

You thought he enjoyed being in the spotlight before Trump mentioned it? Can I ask why? Doesn't seem like he does anything out of the ordinary when he's in the public. I would think if he wanted the spotlight he would be making more of a show out of it. Seems like a guy who just gets down to business when he's on camera. I dunno

 

[Lord Frieza]

He strikes me as the kind of guy who thinks he really spit in your face, fucking embarrassed you in front of everybody, when all he did is hand you a birthday card that he—unbeknownst to everyone—bought in a priced-down 5-pack, the actual text being full of personal touches.

...What?

 

[UrokeJoe]

Dude you better drop it like it's hot!

I got nothing....

Both his handling of the end of the Clinton witch-hunt (where he said she did nothing illegal but railed against her regardless) and the election-turning letter right before the early voting began.

Both were things that he could have just not done and the world would have continued to turn. Both are things that could have been said through a proxy. Both are things that he made sure his name (and face in the case of the former) were attached to.

According reporting from... last week? (shit moves too fast) he stepped into light and did what he did in relation to Clinton stuff was so he could negate miss information that Russia had generated so it couldn't be used by Russia or other political operators.

Did it harm Clinton? Most likely yes, but there is argument to be made that damage could have been more major if he didn't step in.

Tuesday gonna be fun.

I am a moron the 8th is a week from now so it is Thursday.

 

[backflip10019]

Tuesday gonna be fun.

I mean, it'll be fun if you like non-answers.

look everyone, someone didn't read the OP

 

[Anoregon]

Can't wait for all the republicans present to focus on "unmasking"

 

[Tom Nook]

Let's do this.

 

[Tovarisc]

Tuesday gonna be fun.

Party few days before hearing so time to get over hangover? ;b

 

[Duxxy3]

Hopefully he has a security detail.

 

[Surfinn]

Nice. Finally have a date and time locked up; feels like this was announced ages ago.

Comey is gonna bring bombshells. I can feel it

 

[Agent Gibbs]

June 8th? Comey testifying and the Uk elections same day, awesome, praying for impeachment and Corbyn in the same day

 

[Skinny Pete]

Can't wait for all the republicans present to focus on "unmasking"

Which is such horseshit. Unmasking was done because these idiots are speaking with Russians.

 

[LiK]

COMEY HYPE TRAIN

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

Um, it says Thursday, not Tuesday.

 

[HvySky]

Don't let us down, Comey.

 

[PandaPandaPanda]

Which is such horseshit. Unmasking was done because these idiots are speaking with Russians.

don't forget questions like when he was fired and became a private citizen on whether or not he "leaked" things to the media

 

[Gutek]

I'm prepared for a whole lot of "I cannot confirm or deny, and please don't read into this answer."

You are going to be very disappointed.

 

[LifEndz]

Comey hearing and then E3? Next week is going to be hype AF!

Thuersday

WWDC is on Monday too if you're into that! Lots to look forward too.

 

[Surfinn]

He didn't call for an open testimony to say "I can't talk about anything".

 

[VeryGooster]

COMEY HYPE TRAIN

He better announce a new F-Zero

 

[Applesauce]

I'm prepared for a whole lot of "I cannot confirm or deny, and please don't read into this answer."

This hearing is about his meetings with Trump and any efforts to impede the investigation, not the actual investigation. If the Democrats stay on topic I expect him to talk quite a bit.

I mean, why would you offer to testify publicly if you didn't want to go on record with what you know?

"I'd like to testify publicly so I can not talk about the thing I told you I wanted to talk about in public"

It makes no sense.

 

[oti]

I wish these hearings were announced a day before. Not an entire week. My HoC S5 marathon is almost over.

 

[BoogieWoogie]

Anxious to see Trump say "HE'S LYING" only to not take the stand to defend himself.

 

[Sephzilla]

They're going to have to actively pry Trump's phone out of his hands the moment Comey publicly says Trump told him to bury the investigation.

Senate: "We'd like you to testify, Mr President"
Trump: "Can we settle this out of court?"

Realistically though, Trump will never agree to a public testimony.

Does he have a choice if things get bad enough? Don't remember how stuff works at that point

If he had to, that would be nice. Honestly though, Trump would get caught lying about things completely unrelated to questions asked under testimony. It's his nature.

"Mr. Trump did you order the Code Red?"

 

[Elandyll]

Any lawyery Gaffer know if tweets are technically admissible to a proceeding/ lawsuit?

They were mentionning on a radio show this morning that Trump might just hang himself in the end.

 

[Freeza Under The Shower]

Comey, you were the Destroyer of Worlds, now you must Become the Creator of Chaos Emeralds.

I think "Arise, Comey Prime" is honestly more accurate. Got his elected prime KO'd, fell from grace, now has to blow up a giant orange world-consuming asshole with nothing more than some notes and a prayer.

 

[Kurdel]

Please dont pull a Rachel Maddow

3 hours of hype on Twitter than 2 months of complaints from people expecting a megaton?

Yeah, I also hope we don't have a repeat.

 

[crazy monkey]

I am an eternal pessimist, I still believe this will be a case of "he said-he said" and nothing substantial will happen.

This. I am thinking worse. He will just say he did it but trump is a good guy or something. He might even bring hilary in.

Seems it might be possible considering his EO outcomes?

 

[EatinOlives]

Expect few new revelations. Much of what interests people will be under lock and key because it's under active investigation. He might be able to characterize his meetings with Trump but I doubt he'll go into much detail.

 

[RPGCrazied]

June 8th? Wish it was a little sooner, but whatever, hope he has some explosive information for us.

 

[Morts]

If Comey shows up with HD video of Trump giving Putin a handy while discussing collusion, can we have our Supreme Court pick back?

 

[Surfinn]

Of course it's gotta be on the damn day I leave for a trip
