Yesterday, Jim @Comey testified in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee about the "Russia Hoax" investigation.
Here's what he said, with my commentary.
😉
He was "proud" of the investigation. Seriously, he was PROUD (00:17:49).
#SMH
(more)
When did he first learn of the "Steele Dossier"?
(18:32)
(more)
End of September?
Hmmm ...
(more)
Here's when @LindseyGrahamSC gets @Comey to disclose that the FISA application for a warrant to spy on Carter Page was rejected until the "Steel Dossier" was included.
(00:19:13)
(more)
Here's where Comey gets totally "slimy" on the topic of Carter Page.
Just watch the few minutes here!
@Comey plays word games like the weasel he is (00:20:28):
(more)
So, Carter Page was providing information to the CIA?
Comey's suggesting that he himself didn't know this until he read the "Horowitz Report"?
Really?
🤔
🔥Watch this space for more declassed information. 🔥
(more)
Oh, wait, did I just hear that this was known to the FBI in August 2016?!?!?
And, I'm expected to believe, in a case this important & this political, that Jim @Comey didn't know?
That's what "Jim" wants you to believe!!!
(00:21:15)
(more)
Here's the true Jim @Comey ... a total effing weasel!
(00:22:25)
(more)
Here's more Jim "Weasel-Ass" Comey:
(00:22:42)
(more)
Here's where Comey is asked what FBI work was done to validate/verify information included in the "Steele Dossier", the foundation for getting the spying warrant.
He's like Sargeant Schultz from Hogan's Heros.
He knows nothing.
(00:23:51)
(more)
It's clear @Comey knows he's going to be (or has been) indicted & he's setting up his defense.
Watch this.
He's trying to suggest the buck didn't stop with him, it stopped below him, or stopped above him.
He's Teflon.
What a turd.
(00:24:39)
(more)
This douchebag doesn't know a thing ... except how to write 2 books worth millions to him.
(00:25:30)
(more)
Here's the first "Holy S**t" moment where @Comey just punts any responsibility, any knowledge, any anything.
This guy is a narcissistic psychopath. I am not joking.
(00:26:06)
(more)
Bruce Ohr has flipped?
He's told investigators everything @Comey knew & when he knew it?
If so ...
@LindseyGrahamSC is suckering Comey into doubling, tripling & quadrupling down, for effect & effectiveness.
#ComeyIndictmentComing
(00:27:15)
(more)
Listen to Comey's answer about what the court should have been told about the FBI knowing the Steele Dossier primary sub-source was a suspected Russian spy.
OMG!
He suggests it's a judgement call, not an absolute.
WTF?!?!?
(00:27:39)
(more)
It's pretty clear any & all exculpatory evidence is being suppressed.
Another example from December 2016.
(00:27:58)
(more)
Comey signs FISA applications/renewals in January & April 2017 & claims to know NOTHING about how fabricated the Steele Dossier is.
Even denying this (00:28:26):
The FBI actually interviewed "Igor" the sub-source for 3-days in January 2017!!!
(more)
Here's where @LindseyGrahamSC let's @Comey have it.
Comey is lying like a rug.
Anyone who believes this guy is naive or so TDS-deluded there is no help for them!!!
(00:31:05)
(more)
The answer to this question is, simply, he can't!!!
(00:33:37)
(more)
Here's where the "ex parte" nature of FISA warrant applications is discussed.
Because the accused is not receiving typical, Constitutional, due process, there's an extremely high bar here the FBI & Court ignored!
This is CRIMINAL!!!
(00:34:24)
(more)
This was all about:
"Get Trump"
(00:35:01)
(more)
Comey lies here. Pure perjury.
There is NO WAY he didn't know about this.
ZERO chance he didn't see, hear about, or read it.
NO CHANCE!!!
#ComeyLies!
(00:35:51)
(more)
This is critical.
Horowitz didn't have subpoena power. He could only look at documents & electronic correspondence in the possession of the FBI to do his investigation/report.
He found this in FBI files!!!
Comey had to know!!!
(00:39:03)
(more)
@LindseyGrahamSC does a nice summary of why this is so one-sided, corrupt, and criminal.
Pass this on to your anti-Trump friends & ask them if this is fair justice?!?!?
(00:39:48)
(more)
Why look at Trump ONLY when the FBI received a CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIVE REFERRAL from US Intelligence Agencies for @HillaryClinton & the Clinton Campaign?!?!
(00:41:20)
(more)
@Comey claims he doesn't understand @DNI_Ratcliffe's letter to Graham regarding @HillaryClinton approving a disinformation campaign, the "Russia Hoax", against @realDonaldTrump.
(00:41:34)
See my next tweet. It's clear to me. What about you?
(more)
(more)
Liar, liar, pants on fire!
No way he didn't know. It defies logic, common sense, and the slimy way The Swamp works!
(00:48:21)
(more)
Comey denies knowing anything about the FBI's own investigation, from 2009-2011, of the Steele Dossier sub-source for being a Russian spy.
There is NO WAY Comey wasn't aware of this. See my next tweet for more on this.
Another lie.
(00:49:11)
(more)
What the FBI knew about the Steele Dossier sub-source & when they knew it.
(more)
"It looks like both the Democratic National Committee and Russian intelligence services manipulated the FBI under your watch."
(00:49:18)
(more)
Note timing here on email from Comey to Clapper.
The same day the FBI reports Steele (aka "Crown") is found unreliable, Comey puts it on record he IS reliable.
This is some kind of CYA move, I just can't figure out how (yet).
(00:51:26)
…
(more)
Here's Comey, being the weasel he is, trying to rewrite history using a play on semantics.
What a complete turd.
(00:53:56)
(more)
Comey telegraphs his criminal defense:
1) I knew just about nothing.
2) What I did know I forgot.
3) The Steele Dossier was irrelevant.
4) I learned almost everything from the IG Report after I was fired.
5) It was them, not me.
(01:05:07)
(more)
Here's how much confidence the Intelligence Community (IC) had, as a whole, in the veracity of the Steele Dossier.
(01:06:42)
(more)
@LindseyGrahamSC spends some time correcting & refuting the lies of Dick Turdbin, whoops, I mean @SenatorDurbin.
(01:16:25)
(more)
This is an enlightening exchange between @SenMikeLee and @Comey.
It goes on a few minutes.
Please take the time to watch it.
Comey is a lying POS.
(01:24:35)
(more)
Here, Comey does the sleaze act and once again using semantics, splitting-hairs, hides behind his "certification" defense.
He's gonna need it.
(01:26:44)
(more)
Mike Lee gets to the POLITICAL MOTIVATION behind this scam, and how ...
THEY NEVER THOUGHT SHE'D LOSE!!!
(01:27:53)
(more)
Mike Lee uses a very applicable analogy here about "installing" a wasp's nest in your child's room.
Very powerful!
(01:30:20)
(more)
@LindseyGrahamSC asks some great questions about why no investigation into @HillaryClinton & her campaign when we know they & the @DNC ...
... PAID FOR THE STEELE "DIRTY DOSSIER"???
(01:39:38)
(more)
@tedcruz skewers "Weasel Boy" Jim @Comey.
Listen to Comey's answer.
He's amazingly arrogant & deluded.
(01:47:38)
(more)
Comey admits he knew the Steele Dossier was funded by @realDonaldTrump's opponents in September 2016, yet signed-off on warrant applications depending on it in January, April, and July 2017!
Without it being included, NO WARRANTS!!!
(01:49:02)
(more)
Comey tries to get cute & @tedcruz hammers him!
(01:50:10)
(more)
Another great question by Cruz pinning-down Comey & backing him into a corner.
(01:51:00)
(more)
Ted Cruz signals Comey & McCabe will be pitted against each other to get off the hook.
Only one of them is truthful.
One will turn on the other.
Leaking this level of classified information to the press is ILLEGAL & CRIMINAL!!!
(01:52:48)
(more)
Ted Cruz succinctly & articulately sums up this entire travesty.
(01:54:10)
(more)
The CBS feed had issues.
I've moved to another recording of this hearing, so times will be different.
@LindseyGrahamSC
uncharacteristically takes on the Democrats directly.
It had to be the full moon.
Face with tears of joy
(02:04:22)
(more)
@BenSasse nails Comey on Comey's continued use of the passive voice in his testimony.
It makes Comey look morally & intellectually superior & distanced from the errors & crimes ... even though it was all his fault! He's GUILTY!
(02:06:54)
(more)
Sasse acknowledges the Deep State Conspiracy but blames it on his "neighbors in Nebraska". He's trying to have it both ways. I don't trust Sasse, but what he says here is good.
(02:09:04)
(more)
@Comey is such a massive narcissist that he can't ever admit a mistake. It's absolute mental illness.
(2:47:01)
(more)
Here's how Comey is going to defend withholding information from the FISA Court. He's a weasel through & through.
(02:47:57)
(more)
Comey knows he's in deep do-do.
(02:49:40)
(more)
@HawleyMO skewers Comey.
Listen to Comey using the weasel passive voice.
He's a total crook!
(02:52:13)
(more)
I find this extraordinary too!
What human being, in their right mind, wouldn't?
(02:54:32)
(more)
@LindseyGrahamSC smacks down Danang Dick and takes a swipe at Hunter & @JoeBiden!!!
(03:02:39)
(more)
If Comey truly believed this, and I don't believe he does, he'd have to be the only human being on earth looking rationally & honestly at this situation & come to that conclusion.
Instead, I think he's just a bald-faced liar.
(03:09:38)
(more)
This set off alarm bells for me. This line of questioning has been very easy & passive. Then, WHAM!, a Hunter & @JoeBiden question.
This looked like a planned trap to me.
I can't wait to see what unfolds.
(03:11:15)
(more)
Lindsey Graham jumps in to respond to @maziehirono's accusations.
IMHO she is the least intelligent person in either house of Congress.
(03:20:15)
(more)
@SenJoniErnst rehashes & reasks critical questions for timings. It's noticeable.
No questions get asked without the party's other committee members knowing. This is all planned & coordinated.
This is a tell for the criminal focus.
(03:25:52)
(more)
@LindseyGrahamSC jumps in again after @SenBooker Booker makes a fool of himself, as usual.
This is a very effective, and a great strategy from Graham.

@LindseyGrahamSC pipes in again, and it's appropriate, intentional, and meaningful.
(03:47:10)

"You set Flynn up ..."
(03:48:07)

Who thought we'd ever be talking about professional liability and errors & omissions insurance for employees of the FBI?

Marsha, @MarshaBlackburn, it's not only Tennesseans who want answers, Buckeyes do too!!!
(03:49:52)
(more)
Comey so shys away from publicity & being recognized in public that he writes op-ed pieces for WaPo?
That doesn't seem to make sense to me.
Am I missing something?
(03:52:15)
(more)
"Who came up with this plot?"
(03:53:32)
(more)
"Ahh, Mr. Comey, I call that selective memory."
(03:56:12)
(more)
@LindseyGrahamSC wraps this up & summarizes things very nicely.
It's a few minutes, but it's worth the time.
This was & is a complex plot to take down a duly-elected President.
