2 weeks ago? He was the FBI director at the time. Then Trump fired him. Think that changed his testimony? We will find out soon.

So he lied under oath?

Perfect then he'll have no credibility now.

No he didn't. Any other stupid questions?

You implied that being fired would change his testimony that he made under oath. What else would you call that?

Oh I called for his impeachment, on many occasions. He deserved to be removed for his actions.

*Last month*

Two different hearings, at two different times. Of course the answer is gonna be different. And of course its allowed to be different. Thats the whole point of status updates. Done yet?

No he didn't. Any other stupid questions?

The politicization of all these government agencies is a clear and present danger to our republic. Trump is under attack by rouge agents in the IC who are trying to subvert this administration. They are probably on the DNC payroll.

Trump needs to send in the military and flush out these leakers in the IC.

BLUMENTHAL: With respect to the investigation I'm going into the Trump Associates ties to the Russian meddling. Has the White House cooperated?

COMEY: With the investigation?

BLUMENTHAL: Correct.

COMEY: That's not something I'm going to comment on.

BLUMENTHAL: have you had any requests for immunity from anyone, potentially a target of that investigation?

COMEY: I have to give you the same answer Senator.

BLUMENTHAL: Would you tell this committee if there is a lack of cooperation on the part of the White House?

COMEY: I won't commit to that.

Comey not dropping the investigation and subsequently being fired for it. That's interference and obstruction. That's only because Trump is on the record saying that was his reason and thoughts on firing Comey.

Or pay some Russian hackers...

Michael Flynn and other advisers to Donald Trump’s campaign were in contact with Russian officials and others with Kremlin ties in at least 18 calls and emails during the last seven months of the 2016 presidential race, current and former U.S. officials familiar with the exchanges told Reuters.

The previously undisclosed interactions form part of the record now being reviewed by FBI and congressional investigators probing Russian interference in the U.S. presidential election and contacts between Trump’s campaign and Russia.

Six of the previously undisclosed contacts described to Reuters were phone calls between Sergei Kislyak, Russia's ambassador to the United States, and Trump advisers, including Flynn, Trump’s first national security adviser, three current and former officials said.

Conversations between Flynn and Kislyak accelerated after the Nov. 8 vote as the two discussed establishing a back channel for communication between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin that could bypass the U.S. national security bureaucracy, which both sides considered hostile to improved relations, four current U.S. officials said.

In January, the Trump White House initially denied any contacts with Russian officials during the 2016 campaign. The White House and advisers to the campaign have since confirmed four meetings between Kislyak and Trump advisers during that time.

The people who described the contacts to Reuters said they had seen no evidence of wrongdoing or collusion between the campaign and Russia in the communications reviewed so far. But the disclosure could increase the pressure on Trump and his aides to provide the FBI and Congress with a full account of interactions with Russian officials and others with links to the Kremlin during and immediately after the 2016 election.

The White House did not respond to requests for comment. Flynn's lawyer declined to comment. In Moscow, a Russian foreign ministry official declined to comment on the contacts and referred Reuters to the Trump administration.

Separately, a spokesman for the Russian embassy in Washington said: “We do not comment on our daily contacts with the local interlocutors.”

The 18 calls and electronic messages took place between April and November 2016 as hackers engaged in what U.S. intelligence concluded in January was part of a Kremlin campaign to discredit the vote and influence the outcome of the election in favor of Trump over his Democratic challenger, former secretary of state Hillary Clinton.

Those discussions focused on mending U.S.-Russian economic relations strained by sanctions imposed on Moscow, cooperating in fighting Islamic State in Syria and containing a more assertive China, the sources said.

Members of the Senate and House intelligence committees have gone to the CIA and the National Security Agency to review transcripts and other documents related to contacts between Trump campaign advisers and associates and Russian officials and others with links to Putin, people with knowledge of those investigations told Reuters.

The U.S. Justice Department said on Wednesday it had appointed former FBI Director Robert Mueller as special counsel to investigate alleged Russian meddling in the U.S. presidential campaign and possible collusion between Trump’s campaign and Russia. Mueller will now take charge of the FBI investigation that began last July. Trump and his aides have repeatedly denied any collusion with Russia.

'IT'S RARE'

In addition to the six phone calls involving Kislyak, the communications described to Reuters involved another 12 calls, emails or text messages between Russian officials or people considered to be close to Putin and Trump campaign advisers.

S

It's also highly suspicious considering the timing of Comey being fired. If Dummy Dump was going to fire him anyway, why wait almost four months? If Dump didn't want to come across as suspicious or obstructing ongoing investigations, he should've cleaned house in the intel community as soon as his foot was in the door as Obama and Bush II had both done.

Roger Ailes of Faux Noise fame has just kicked the bucket at age 77. May he roast in Hell for eternity.
