How can a good friend of Comey's investigate Comey? Comey wrote and illegally leaked a memo of a privileged conversation with the President using a 3rd party (if Comey thought it legal, he would have called the NY Times himself). Comey's note represent his version which may very well conflict with Trump's. There is no obstruction even if Comey is accurate. But what about the investigation into Comey's illegal leak? Did Comey leak any other information? How can Meuller possibly investigate Comey in a non-partisan, strictly professional manner. Meuller must have the APPEARANCE of independence. He does not.

There's no conflict, he's investigating the allegations of collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russians, it's not complicated.

The asshats think Trump is the only honest man in Washington! June 20 will be the day, If Ossoff wins in Georgia, the GOP will flee Trump like debutantes left alone in room alone with him!

Keep hope alive Keyser76.

What happens to the Dems if Ossoff loses?

Do we get a break from Leftist lunacy?

... and anywhere that may lead. What if it leads right back on top of Comey? Conflict, he must go.

His investigation is not limited to collusion. He can expand it anyway he sees fit. And how do we know that Comey did not engage in wrong doing with the Russian Dossier that was fake and used as the means to get a FISA warrant?

He must step down.

1) Trump didn't invoke privilege. I know this is a totally foreign concept to you. You constantly show your ignorance.

2) Rod Rosentstein, appointed by Trump, appointed Mueller to special counsel. Maybe you should be crying to Trump, snowflake. Senators from both sides of the aisle have commented numerous times on what a wonderful selection Mueller is.

You are going to go ape **** if they bring obstruction of justice charges against trump. I can hear it now: it's a conspiracy, it's rigged, it's fake news....

If Comey is such a liar, trump can testify under oath. Or even better, just cough up those tapes.

I'm betting neither Comey, nor Trump will see any fallout from this. Keep dreaming for the obstruction stuff, it's literally not possible for him to Obstruct.

You claimed Comey could not have committed a crime because the memos were his property. You were proven wrong. You've been wrong more often than Rosie O'Donnell's number of dinners per night.

Meuller has a huge appearance problems regarding this conflict. They are very good friends. He must step down since he has no idea where this investigation leads. How many other Comey leaks? How many of them crimes?

If Trump wanted to, he could have pardoned Flynn on the spot. Game over.

Yeah whatever. Trump's acting AG appointed him, how could he be wrong?
Anyone appointed should step down if they don't immediately stop the investigation. Have you not read all the analysis on this board? Open and shut case.

Didn't know that Comey may have committed a crime at the time of the appointment. Now that we know (we don't know how many other leaks Comey perpetrated), he must step down.

No point in investigating Comey since he's done nothing wrong unless telling the truth is a crime.

Investigate Trump and you get fired, that's how it works. Must stop all investigations, nothing to see here.

He leaked information that is a crime. He used a conduit to do so, and that person also committed a crime.

Seeing as you have no knowledge of legal matters, would you quit pretending to be a lawyer? I'd say that is a crime.

I am quoting unimpeachable legal scholars like Dershowitz, Turley and McCarthy.

Comey wrote a non-memo with Bush 2 in regards to warrant-less surveillance. This has to be fact since he told the truth and said that Trump was the first president he had written memos after conversations.

Comey has proven himself to be a liar.

I'm sure Comey wrote lots of memos in his gov't career and probably even a few non-memos, whatever those are.

He testified that he never wrote memos of Presidents other than Trump. Caught in a lie.

This latest angle of attempting to kill the investigation is stupid and typical of right wing lunatics. Well done showing you are still stupid, wingnuts.

Leaking information isn't a crime

OMG. You have got to be kidding me. Leaking classified information is not a crime? You do know that a young woman was just arrested for leaking, right? Edward Snowden in on the run. Manning spent 7 years in prison.

Maybe it is not a crime if it only hurts Republicans is what you meant.

So you separate Trump and the Trump campaign then?

Of course. If they had evidence that Trump knew about or directed any collusion, he would be under investigation. Clearly Obama did not know about the gun running to Mexico, right? He did not know about the IRS actions, right?

I do believe everyone lies. But not everyone lies while under oath.

You miss the humor in the line though. If a man says all men are liars then since a man is saying it he is a liar and thus it may not be true that all men are liars.

It's like that line from an Elvis Costello song that goes "When I said that I was lying I might have been lying."

Various investigations. Comey testified Trump is not the target. Nice try.
I've never understood why Trump and his loyal followers have clung to that verbiage. Just because you're not under investigation today doesn't mean that you won't be tomorrow. Seems pretty simple.
