A transcript of former FBI Director James Comey's closed-door hearing with the House Judiciary and House Oversight committees has been released: oversight.house.gov/wp-content/upl…
Certainly looks like Comey's a witness in the special counsel's investigation into obstruction.
Shade.
Encouraging.
"The FBI, in late July (2016), opened counterintelligence investigations of four Americans to see if they were working in any way with the Russians to influence our elections." Still maddening that Comey went public on the emails but not this...
Last week's sentencing memo for Flynn made clear that he has been talking to Mueller about his call to the Russian ambassador. A lot of it was redacted, but, I'm pretty sure Trump didn't just want Comey to drop the investigation because Flynn was a good guy. Flynn knew something.
(I'm on page 152/235, not a lot of news.. The initial allegation in the FBI's counterintelligence operation into the Trump campaign's potential coordination with Russia had nothing to do with the Steele dossier, but was related to information that George Papadopolous conveyed)
OK here we go; "mid October, maybe a little bit later, Mr. Giuliani was making statements that appeared to be based on his knowledge of workings inside the FBI New York." "So I asked that it be investigated."
Nobody has been held accountable, but the investigation ultimately led to disciplining of FBI Deputy Director McCabe because he had apparently authorized communications about a pending investigation of the Clinton Foundation. Comey never got a report because he was fired.
"Trump's leadership style reminded me of that of a mafia boss, of a Cosa Nostra boss, because it's all about me, what you can do for me, it's all about your loyalty to me. It's not about any higher values or institutional values. It's about how are you feeding me the boss.."
The rest is mostly Republicans whining about Hillary's emails. Comey has agreed to return for a follow-up hearing on Monday, the 17th of December. What an absolute waste of time.
