Note that Comey scuttles and hides behind the "can't say in an open forum, possible ongoing investigation, national security" BS whenever somebody tries to pin him down.
Yet he attempts to explain away the felony of not immediately reporting his meeting with Trump to AG Sessions by saying, "we were hearing rumors the AG might soon recuse himself." So you committed a felony because there was a rumor? It's still a felony, even if the rumor comes true.

Comey Took Notes of Every Trump Meeting But Did Not Record Hillary’s 3 Hour Interrogation
Jim Hoft Jun 8th, 2017 9:47 am 197 Comments
Fired FBI Director, James Comey said in a prepared opening statement released Wednesday that he didn’t keep detailed memos on his conversations with Obama like he did with Donald Trump.
Comey took notes on EVERY meeting with President Trump before and after his inauguration.
But Comey only spoke with Obama twice!
Even after the DNC computers were ‘hacked’ he never spoke with the Democrat president about the criminal attack on his party’s computers!
Former Director James Comey also did not record his THREE HOUR interview with former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on her likely criminal email activity.
Comey skipped the meeting.
The FBI did not swear in Hillary Clinton during her testimony.
The Hill reported:
Hillary Clinton did not swear an oath to tell the truth before meeting with the FBI for three and a half hours last weekend, and the interview was not recorded, FBI Director James Comey told House lawmakers on Thursday.
The lack of a sworn oath does not remove the possibility of criminal penalties against Clinton if she lied to the FBI, though he said he had “no basis to conclude” that she was untruthful.
“Still a crime to lie to us,” Comey told the House Oversight Committee.
FBI policy is not to record interviews as part of its investigations.
Yet the revelations will nonetheless raise questions among Republicans, who have been skeptical of the FBI’s investigation and have demanded to see the transcript of the former secretary of State’s interview in downtown Washington on Saturday.

I listened on the radio to pretty much the whole hearing today and the longer Comey spoke, the more I became convinced that he just made up the "written record" bullcrap. There were a few things he said, but he talked about Trump saying that he hoped there were recordings and while he was laying in bed, in the middle of the night (probably worrying, with his little mind spinning from anger and fear) and he said, basically, "Oh, hey! I have all those written notes of my meetings with Trump." I say that he made this crap up. How easy would it be to fabricate notes, give them to your buddy at the University and have him leak them to the media? The guy is a lying weasel.
True, I read, at least once, that the memos were a fabrication, perhaps one of your posts. But, just listening to him speak, yesterday made that idea real for me. The things he said, he made it clear through his lying bullcrap that the memos were a fabrication. All you had to do was read him through his own words.

He sounded like a whining millennial in need of his safe space. Very embarrassing to think this self centered weak clown was the head of the once famed and now disgraced FBI.
It is going to take a lot of time, dedicated hard work and employee purging to bring our government back to any level of respectability.

The Comey watch party line at Shaw Tavern stretches down the block... #ThisIsWashington
As coverage and responses to Comey’s testimony continue to unfold, we’ve gathered together six of the most important revelations from the hearing. One thing is for sure, Comey’s testimony was anything but boring.
1) Trump was not under investigation by the FBI
When questioned by Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL), Comey answered that President Donald Trump was not under investigation by the FBI. It was also revealed that congressional leaders had previously been briefed on this fact.
This morning Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton joined Breitbart News Daily and predicted this fact. Fitton called allegations against Trump “gossip” and “a nothing burger.”
2) James Comey leaked documents to the media
Comey admitted to orchestrating leaks from the investigation to the media using a network of friends. Reponse was swift on social media:

Because if it was leaked that @realDonaldTrump was personally not under investigation- it would have crushed the entire narrative.
President Trump’s personal lawyer, Marc Kasowitz, issued a blistering statement after the hearing on the subject of Comey’s leaks.
3) The obstruction of justice case against Trump just went up in smoke
Senator James Risch (R-ID) questioned Comey early in the hearing about the possibility of obstruction of justice regarding the investigation of General Michael Flynn. Risch repeatedly questioned Comey about the exact wording used by President Trump to him in private, which Comey recorded in his much-discussed memo.
The exchange leaves Democrat’s hopes of impeachment for obstruction of justice considerably dimmed:
Comey: I mean, it’s the President of the United States with me alone, saying, “I hope this.” I took it as this is what he wants me to do. I didn’t obey that, but that’s the way I took it.
Risch: You may have taken it as a direction, but that’s not what he said.
Comey: Correct.
Risch: He said, “I hope.”
Comey: Those are exact words, correct.
Risch: You don’t know of anyone that’s been charged for hoping something?
Comey: I don’t, as I sit here.
Risch: Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
4) Comey says the New York Times published fake news
James Comey had a few things to say about the reporting of the New York Times which reported on collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.
Senator Risch questioned Comey about the Times, asking “So the American people can understand this, that report by the New York Times was not true, is that a fair statement?”
“It was not true,” Comey said. “Again, all of you know this, maybe the American people don’t. The challenge — I’m not picking on reporters about writing stories about classified information… [the challenge is] that people talking about it often don’t really now what’s going on and those of us who actually know what’s going on are not talking about it.”
5) Loretta Lynch meddled in the Clinton investigation
Comey discussed the involvement of President Obama’s Attorney General, Loretta Lynch, in the investigation of Hillary Clinton. He stated that Lynch made an odd request for how the FBI investigation should be described.
“At one point the attorney general had directed me not to call it investigation, but instead to call it a matter, which concerned and confused me,” Comey said.
Comey added that Lynch’s infamous tarmac meeting with Bill Clinton during the campaign was the reason he decided to make a statement when the decision was made not to prosecute Hillary Clinton.
“In a ultimately conclusive way, that was the thing that capped it for me, that I had to do something separately to protect the credibility of the investigation, which meant both the FBI and the Justice Department,” Comey said.
6) James Comey sounds like every disgruntled former employee ever
Comey had quite a bit to say about his firing, which leaves him looking like a disgruntled former employee.
Comey accused President Trump and his administration of lying about him, and “defaming him and more importantly the FBI.”
Comey also explained that his discomfort with the President and the belief that Trump would lie about him led to the creation of his memo on the meeting.
“I was honestly concerned that he might lie about the nature of our meeting, so I thought it really important to document,” Comey said. “I knew there might come a day when I might need a record of what happened not only to defend myself but to protect the FBI.”
Comey did not comment on how his leaking of the memo through his personal network helped the FBI.
Breitbart News will continue to persue the many stories emerging from Comey’s testimony. Read through our livewire of the testimony for interesting commentary on the Comey hearing as it occured.

Worse! Comey is a bureaucrat. He is a manager. He knows NOTHING of how politics is played, he simply does a piss poor job of saying "yass Massa" and covering his own ass while he can. He knows NOTHING of how the FBI operates. He knows NOTHING of how investigative work is carried out. He knows NOTHING of the illegal AND unconstitutional basis of the FBI. He KNOWS that it is a POLITICAL TOOL to beat other politicians and functionaries over the head and to keep them in line AGAINST America and Americans. His job and his benefits are the ONLY thing that matters to him. NOT loyalty, not dedication, not doing the best he can, not serving America or Americans. He IS ALL ABOUT James Comey and the same can be said of any appointed government seat-filling ass.
The three best things that came out yesterday were:
1) Trump was vindicated
2) The libtards who were waiting anxiously for Comey's testimony to topple Trump were thoroughly disappointed and I hope they are still crying
3) Yet more evidence that the left are nothing but a collective sociopaths and psychopaths... scorpions who consume their own kind for their own benefit.
So, now, perhaps another step forward can be taken by Trump since the likelihood of Russians being in the way seems to be past.

Yea, but the media would really appreciate it if we didn't think about it quite like that. lol

Comey says HillDawg broke laws but did not intend to so she should get a pass, but says Trump broke NO laws but that he (comey) felt he would or wanted to and that was bothersome. Comey is a PreCog from Minority Report
Make no mistake, half of America believes this and are prepared to kill people who disagree with them. This is reality folks!!
