Chris Matthews: Trump-Russia collusion theory 'came apart' with Comey testimony

Wow this is interesting and from MSNBC's Chris Matthews. 

Well, now he will be called all sorts of names by the Trump haters.   He clearly forgot who butters his bread 

Blessings,

Donald Trump Jr. is going to be on the Fox News channel's Sean Hannity show tonight at 10 p.m eastern to talk about this matter. 

Great article. :)

 

Comey embarrassed himself as a legal professional during this hearing today. Seriously. He has no integrity and no skill at hiding that fact. 

Read this excerpt from the Fox article. So that there's not tons of these type reports about Comey's hearing all over the place here.  Comey should be charged. 

 

"Intelligence Committee Chairman, Sen. Richard Burr, R-N.C., asked Comey quite directly, “Was the president trying to obstruct justice?”  As expected, Comey demurred by claiming, “It’s not for me to say.”  While there is no legal basis for declining to answer the pivotal question, Comey dodged it for a reason.  If he said, under oath, that he regarded the president’s words as obstruction, Comey would have incriminated himself in a crime known as “misprision of felony.”

As explained in an earlier column, the law imposes an affirmative duty on federal officials, like Comey, to immediately report knowledge of a felony such as obstruction to a person in authority.  In the case of an FBI Director, his superior is the Assistant Attorney General at the Department of Justice.  Comey admitted he did not tell anyone at DOJ.  His excuses were legally vacuous.

Thus, one can conclude that Comey either did not believe the president obstructed justice (and, therefore, had no duty to report it) or he did not want to put himself in legal jeopardy."

 

This part is really ridiculous! :rolleyes:

"Comey was pressed on the issue.  Unbelievably, he claimed he did not know whether FBI agents have a duty to report a crime that has been committed:

Question:  “You’re unsure whether they would have a legal duty?”

Answer: “That’s a good question.  I’ve not thought about that before.  (pause)  There is a statute that prohibits misprision of a felony -- knowing of a felony and taking steps to conceal it.  But this is a different question.”

 

This is what should have Comey up on charges. 

"

Comey Leaked His Memo

Obstruction aside, one of the more stunning moments during the hearing came when Comey confessed that he deliberately leaked to “a friend” the contents of the memo memorializing his conversation with Trump… so that it would then be leaked to the media.  Comey said it was his personal property.  Wrong.

Under the Federal Records Act and the FBI’s own Records Management regulations, “any document that is made in the course of business” is the property not of the person who authored it, but the property of the U.S. government.  And so are its contents.  It matters not whether the document, as this one, is unclassified.

Comey improperly and, perhaps, unlawfully leaked a government document involving an FBI investigation. "

All the news radio in my car today could not bring themselves to admit that there was no proof of Trump's involvement.  The hypocrisy these days is extraordinary.

It's why we call CNN, MSNBC, NBC, CBS, NPR, PBS, et al.  "fake news."    They have been running with a fake narrative for weeks now and today it got exposed for what it is.   There was no truth to their reporting.

They are trying to salvage something out of this, but they can't.  They lied and their lie fell apart today on national TV and they had to carry it while being exposed in front of everyone.

We view FOX new all the time.  Hannity did have Trump Jr. on tonight and it was total class.  He didn't jump on the the fake media (to  any great extent).  He merely just wanted his father to get back to work now.  Sean almost had to twist his arm to show some anger about all this stuff.      God Bless our President.

I think this man sealed his fate when he said he felt someone warm and tingly running down his legs after his god Obama spoke. He went from journalist/commentator to buffoon instantly and showed he has no sense what so ever.
