Comey stated the DoJ/AG were not obstructing. He didn't reference the White House. But as I said earlier they definitely will try to nail him on this.

Well, that and trying to influence things, to me anyway, might not be actual obstruction. Firing Comey was the obstruction. Before that he wasn't actually obstructing Comey. He was attempting to, though.

So, yeah, watch Cotton and Rubio ask questions after they were bribed at dinner they just had with Trump.

Yeah, so when is the hearing to ask Cotton, Rubio, and the rest if they were pressured by the President at this dinner?

 

[Soroc]

I wonder if he will have them eat meatloaf

Bet you everyone will be getting 2 scoops of ice cream at this dinner!

That would be surreal. Have some questions to Comey be based on Trumps tweets, in real time.

That actually happened during the last Comey testimony

[gaugebozo]

This is such a bad idea I can't believe it. He's going to say a bunch of stupid, incriminating things and give further evidence for obstruction. What a fucking moron.

This is going to be glorious. I should order pizza and buckle up for the carnival of stupid.

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

I think, aside from anything new, the biggest things that can come from this are Comey denying that he ever gave the president assurance (3x even) that he wasn't under investigation, or confirming that Trump told him to drop the Russia thing (which Trump has already admitted on Twitter).

I can only imagine the word vomit that will come up if he calls the president a liar.

Rubio and Cotton will be there to press him about leaks. They'll try to get him on record to a) say he doesn't know the source of any leaks and b) that he's never leaked anything to the press. Of course, he might just plead the fifth or say say it's part of the ongoing investigation, and the circle of stupid will continue as they pressure him on questions he won't answer.

will there be any site that will live blog Thursday? I would REALLY want that in my life

 

[The Real Abed]

I don't follow Trump on Twitter, and I don't plan to, but I really hope the @NarratedPOTUS account is on their game that day. I'll be at work.

 

[WeAreStarStuff]

Trump's lawyers are either yes-men who are just collecting as much money as they can from the doofus while he continues to bury himself, or Trump just refuses to listen to advice from anyone.

 

[SolarPowered]

Literally the personification of privilege and entitlement. If the relevant people were truly adults this manchild would have been booted out of office months ago.

 

[cakely]

Nothing will come out of this but spin from Comey. He already testified there was no obstructuction.

This is reality tv, and Trump wants to stay in the lead role. Should be entertaining.

This literally never happened. You might want to edit.

 

[jelly]

I wonder if they will get text messages from Trump in real time to ask something to Comey. Look out for them looking at their phones.

I'm thinking both

WASHINGTON (AP) — A nonprofit issues group is labeling James Comey a political “showboat” in a television ad set to air Thursday, the day the former FBI director testifies on Capitol Hill.

Comey “put politics over protecting America,” a narrator says in the 30-second spot, titled “Showboat,” which was shared with The Associated Press. It accuses him of being “consumed with election meddling” even as “terror attacks were on the rise.”

Great America Alliance has paid for the ad, which is slated to run digitally Wednesday and appear the next day on CNN and Fox News. The group, formed after President Donald Trump’s election to advocate for his administration, is not required to disclose its donors.

The message of the ad reflects a strategy by Trump and his advocates to erode Comey’s credibility.

Nobody should show this. Of course CNN will. They think politics is sports. And Fox News is a lost cause.

Wow, attack ads for someone not even running for election

Character assassinating. Its all it is. I'm with Comey 100%, fuck Trump.

Have a bit of decorum, Trump, you childish bastard.

 

[smokeymicpot]

Gotta attack. Attack, Attack, Attack. Keep the idea up that Comey is crazy. It is directly for Trump's base.

an internet Troll.

I wonder if he'd tweet during his impeachment.

Probably on his plane halfway to Russia. You think he would be seen out in public when he is humiliated like that?

 

[PandaShake]

Will testimony be live on cspan or private? Either way, reading trumps tweets would be quite something.

 

[kingocfs]

How am I supposed to get any work done on Thursday?

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

If there are people already spending millions of dollars to help this blow over, we're getting something juicy on Thursday.

Think Seth Rich-level distraction.

It's public.

 

[Eusis]

shhhhh no one tell him this is a bad idea


actually everyone tell him its a bad idea so he will do it!

Reverse psychology won't work either. Praise him for it and he'd just feel happy and more affirmed he's right. He's going to do this short of being physically restrained.

 

[RPGCrazied]

He is already wining and dining Cotton and Rubio. Like that is going to stop the Democrats from getting the answers.

This level of defensiveness definitely sounds like innocence and good will all-around.

That's all Trump knows and was taught by his father and shady mafia lawyer, attack the people going after you times a million until they get crushed. Not sure it's going to work out for Donnie.

Rubio is a sellout motherfucker just like Trump. I don't know enough about Cotton to say the same thing.

Just counter with the video of Trump blowing Comey a kiss and trying to hug him.

Exclusive: Former FBI Dir. Comey to stop short of saying Pres. Trump obstructed justice in Flynn probe, source says.

This literally never happened. You might want to edit.

HIRONO: So if the Attorney General or senior officials at the Department of Justice opposes a specific investigation, can they halt that FBI investigation?

COMEY: In theory yes.

HIRONO: Has it happened?

COMEY: Not in my experience. Because it would be a big deal to tell the FBI to stop doing something that -- without an appropriate purpose. I mean where oftentimes they give us opinions that we don't see a case there and so you ought to stop investing resources in it. But I'm talking about a situation where we were told to stop something for a political reason, that would be a very big deal. It's not happened in my experience.
