Comey’s Revenge: Former Director Hopes Trump Taped Their Conversations, In Order to Prove Obstruction of Justice

It’s all coming to a head now. The firing of James Comey has opened up a pandora’s box that is sure to obliterate the Trump presidency. What will follow this deep state coup is something that will likely be remembered, along with the same vein as the civil war. There isn’t a chance that his ardent supporters will accept his removal from office on such obvious acts of sabotage.

But it’s happening.

According to CNN,  sources close to Comey say the former FBI director is hoping Trump taped their conversations, in order to corroborate his contemporaneous notes regarding a request to end the Flynn investigation.

Comey is very eager to testify, but only if it’s in a public forum. Hmm, I wonder why?

    Maybe, and I know this is crazy….. maybe Trump really just is the fucking moron he’s always pretended to be?

      That’s pavement ape thinking, really. Everything the man accomplished in life says he’s anything but a moron. It’s like the millionaire next door. You never saw him coming, yet here he is, a billionaire, married to whoever he wants, successful kids, President of the United States — literally the definition of success.

      Quit shilling you monkey brain.

        It’s cute that you think (thought?) that Trump would be anything but a disaster of a president.

        This experiment is over. If you voted for Trump, you should have your voting privileges taken away.

        PERIOD.

            C’mon man. You really thought Trump would have a clue on how to run a country?

            Don’t you think there’s anything illegal that;s coming with the Russia/Trump connection?

            He hears the name Flynn and his head spins. Nothing to hide, I’m sure.

            It’s so fucking obvious. Anyone that doesn’t see that is just really fucking stupid or incredibly zombied out from FoxNews.

        People with wealth and status can be insane or impaired just like anyone else. But when they are, because of their wealth and status, everyone bows down to them and says “What lovely clothes the emperor is wearing today.” Until a child calls out “The emperor is naked.” Then it finally falls apart.

        He lies about everything, so there is no reason to believe he is really a billionaire either. And an attractive woman may marry a crazy person for his real or imagined money. And crazy people sometimes have sane kids.

        If you are president, does that make you a success, no matter how badly you screw up absolutely everything you touch?

        No matter if you are a pathological liar? No matter if you bomb a country, and when asked about it, you talk about your cake? And then you can’t remember what country you bombed, til Maria Bartiromo corrects you and tells you.

        No matter if you commit obstruction of justice, violations of the emoluments clause, and numerous other impeachable offenses?

          I don’t know what to tell you people. I am not sold on the liberal agenda, which includes gender spectrums, slave labor, $2,000 per mo in healthcare and $20t in debt. Actually, it’s not just a liberal agenda. It is US policy.

          No thanks.

          I will never waiver in my disapproval to the path we’re on. Don’t bother with the “you will wish you’d voted for Hillary’ nonsense. I hate her.

            Well, if is just U.S. policy, in a country where ALL branches of government are dominated by Republicans, then why blame it on liberals?

            I think the best chance America has for positive change is for people to elect as many Dems to Congress as possible, and a Dem president, and then push them further to the Left. Democrats are responsive to the people. Republicans are not.

            Hillary released her tax returns. Trump wouldn’t care if every person in the country wanted him to release his– or to do anything else. He just doesn’t respond to the people ever. Which is the typical Republican way.

            Even if you like nothing else about the Dems, the fact that they do respond to the people should get you voting for them, if you care about the country. Bernie influenced the Dem platform, and Hillary came out against the TPP, because Dems responded to the people. That’s a VERY big difference in the parties.

            The GOP never does that. Obama would have given us single payer health insurance, if Congress would have passed it, and that would have been great.

            AS for the 20T in debt, Obama did his best not to overspend, but he inherited the 2008 financial crisis, so some money had to be spent to get out of that.

      Perhaps not a bumbling moron but simply a prisoner of his own experience. Nothing nefarious, he believes his own narrative.

      Just take the Comey memo at face value. “He’s a good guy. I hope you can just let this go.”

      Trump honestly believes the drain the swamp narrative. Evidence suggests he simply doesn’t know any better.

      He must think that he can cajole or intimidate the FBI director to drop an active investigation the same way he would bribe a gaming commissioner into a permit or bully the sheet-rock union to take pennies on the dollar from his previous experience.

    What is the conspiracy here?? If I were him with all of the misinformation going around I would only testify in public as well. Courts of law are public forums. Why shouldn’t this be? Even so there will be a small but vocal group that will no doubt try to say it is fake news.

    Also how rich is it that Trump went nuts about being possibly being taped without permission but then he turns around and insinuates that he did the very same thing.

    Fly, you have said that you believe the only way to “fix” society is to completely break it. But historically, that has never worked out. E.g. the French Revolution caused chaos and murders. And the people went back to doing things pretty much the same way they had before their revolution.

    Historically, it looks like there are revolutions that do change things– but never for the better– only for the worse.

    When people don’t have the patience to deal with the details of working together to make gradual changes, they don’t get constructive change.

    Blowing things up may sound like fun. But it doesn’t have a record of positive results.

      We are indeed effed even after Trump is impeached. At least Pence seems sane. But he is another Republican who will likely get us into wars and keep the globalist agenda going– as Trump would too, but he is also insane.

      I do believe there may be something like a Deep State. However, I think there are many good people in our intelligence agencies too.

      But the path to making things better is not to elect one magic president man, who tells you what you want to hear but is lying, like Trump.

      It’s a slow gradual process of doing things like searching for people with integrity to run for public office, getting Citizens United annulled and getting campaign finance reform going. Cooperating with fellow citizens to solve problems, rather than hating on each other.

      There is so much big money in politics, it controls the whole country.

    The Chinese describe the White Left as those who “only care about topics such as immigration, minorities, LGBT and the environment” and “have no sense of real problems in the real world”; they are hypocritical humanitarians who advocate for peace and equality only to “satisfy their own feeling of moral superiority”; they are “obsessed with political correctness” to the extent that they “tolerate backwards Islamic values for the sake of multiculturalism”; they believe in the welfare state that “benefits only the idle and the free riders”; they are the “ignorant and arrogant westerners” who “pity the rest of the world and think they are saviors”.

      Gosh, does Fox News play in China too? Sounds like a super biased Right Wing description of the Left Wing.

      That’s an incorrect biased version of what the Left Is. The Left is the responsive political wing,that cares about the people. Right Wingers are corrupt and care only about the .01% and crony capitalist welfare queens whom they help to feed at the public trough. They constantly screw over the 99.99%.

      But the 99.99% are fed propaganda about the left, like what you just typed. So brainwashed people voted Republicans into office who will now screw them over, in every way possible.

      The whole government is dominated by Right Wingers now. So any problems you have with government now have to be caused by the Right, not the Left. No point in bashing the Left now. They have zero power in the country.

      You must be overjoyed now that your beloved Right controls everything.

    “Men Without Chests” is the curious title of the first chapter of C.S. Lewis’ Abolition of Man. In the book, Lewis explains that the “The Chest” is one of the “indispensable liaison officers between cerebral man and visceral man. It may even be said that it is by this middle element that man is man: for by his intellect he is mere spirit and by his appetite mere animal.” Without “Chests” we are unable to have confidence that we can grasp objective reality and objective truth.

    The result of such chest-less education, as Lewis warns, is a dystopian future. “We make men without chests and expect from them virtue and enterprise,” says Lewis. “We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst.”
