All the evidence leads to a direction by Trump to stop the investigation. And if "these morons opinions mean nothing", you certainly did a pitiful job proving that.
This is such a twisted rebuttal, one wonders where to begin. My post was making the point at the time Comey was still employed. Why you feel the need to retreat from that point, then deflect to after he was fired, doesn't make sense.
Then get started. My eyes are eagerly awaiting your rebuttal? Because nothing criminal was ever found. Both in July and October. The whole Hillary email nonsense was just that, a fake manufactured scandal. And I think Comey really knew that. People are smarter than you think. People like Comey know the difference between a mouse and a stinking rat.
He lied about the crowd size. He said he would never lie. But he did, on day one. He broke that promise.
Oh, you know, build the wall, the ACA will be gone on day one, for every new regulation, two old regulations will be eliminated, instruct Treasury Secretary to label China a currency manipulator and to apply tariffs, his promise to make policy decisions transparent, his promise to have great negotiators for diplomats rather than "nice people who gave political contributions", his promise to drain the swamp, his promise that his kids won’t do business deals while he's in office and to set up a “private trus,” so he wouldn’t know anything about his business, his promise that political activists with extreme agendas wouldn’t write the rules in his administration, and about 50 more.
No, what's ridiculous is when people that don't have any interests in seeing him be successful call him a liar for not accomplishing everything he campaigned on in the first five months in office (which no president has ever accomplished). Do you think Bernie was going to accomplish everything he wanted in his first five months? Lets be realistic here, I supported everything Bernie wanted to do, but I would have been in utter shock if he even got a third of his objectives accomplished even after serving 8 years. Most people think he wouldn't have been able to get any of his agendas accomplished outside of executive order (even though they also liked hearing what Bernie was selling. But nobody called Bernie a liar, they just said it wasn't realistic, and they were probably correct because even though he voted alongside Democrats 98% of the time in all his years on Capital Hill none of them ever supported him. He gave them undying loyalty and they tossed him under the bus like a read-headed stepchild. AIPAC didn't even want to hear from the only Jew running. If Bernie had been nominated (even on the third party green ticket) he would have beaten both Hillary and Trump but he would have faced far more obstruction than even Obama had on Capital Hill (especially with the way the current numbers stand). However Democrats and Independents would have still had faith and pushed back even harder in upcoming local elections, but that's gone now and it's because the Democrats lied, MSM lied, Comey submitted to the corruption of the Obama and AG intimidation. Those are the people that put Trump in office, they lied. So far Trump in political office, has keep to all of his promises. He has gotten more done in his first five months than any other candidate running could have hoped to accomplish in that time frame. Yes, Trump reversed himself on some issues that he campaigned on but not because he was a liar. Trump said he was flexible to change his position if new facts revealed that his original positions were based on failed ideologies or lacked relevant knowledge, (or legal knowledge). Trump has had to learn more about politics than any other US President ever put into office. He already saved the US from it's biggest threat before ever even taking office when he beat Hillary. Trump is a hero to all US citizens, he is fighting enemies both foreign and abroad without hesitation, boldly addressing foreign governments (both enemy and allied) for positive effects that put America first, and taking crap from nobody. Trump is not a panderer, he's a visionary. He doesn't worry about what popular, he focuses on solving long overdue problems. He does this because he identifies with the people (he sees his self as one of them) because up until he took office he was just one of the people. He might not have been one of the poorest but he was still just a private citizen (that beat the politicians) he called out BS where ever he saw it (boldly). Now that connection might fade overtime, but we should all savor it as long as it lasts. If I were you I'd spend my time looking for the next pretty face (clean and pure) and that won't be easy, to compete in 2020. Remember, it's all about repeal and replace, not just repeal. So far I haven't seen anyone that wants to get rid of Trump offer up a better alternative. So for now I'm going to support Trump as President until he (A) does something I really don't agree with, or (B) I see someone better capable of replacing him with.
Only you would declare victory without citing the specific text in the law Trump broke along with his exact words. Its when you have to actually get into detail with your argument that you run for the hills.
The fact that he choose to write an insurance policy is a prime example of how scared and incompetent he was.

Director Comey to Risch. "I took it as a direction". That's how he took it. Risch was planting words that were never said by either Comey or Trump. In plain English, Trump was commanding Comey according to Comey. That's how Comey perceived it. Comey alone would no best what Trump meant because it was just the two of them. Risch was not in the room, therefore, Risch foolishly made a mistake by inventing his own theory and calling it a fact. That was stupid on Risch's part.
So stunned, scared, intimidated Comey, defied the presidential directive? Really? That is your summation? Bravo.
