Welcome to Comey Week. What are your expectations?

Welcome to Comey week-after which it will become clear to most paying attention that we are on the road to impeachment/resignation.
4:55 AM - 5 Jun 2017

1. I'm expecting little
Hopefully I'm wrong
I'm expecting Comey to purger himself (maybe not apparently at the moment... but I am betting trump has recordings!)... and say "I Can't discuss that due to classification levels." a whole bunch.

13. Since I've totally given up on the whole, "what goes around comes around" scheme.
My expectations are fairly moderate based on a couple of observations:
1) He will not go quietly.
2) Things won't improve significantly with him gone and The All New Inquisition in place starring Mike "Milquetoast" Pence in the driver's seat.
Two words come to mind, Scorched Earth.
Yeah, I hope I'm wrong. But, I've been way too correct lately.

6. I'm not expecting much
assuming the testimony even goes forth.

11. I'd like to think that this is the week we've all been waiting for.
The week that all of the truth about tRump comes tumbling out for all to see. And by ALL, I mean every last tRump voter. The rest of us have a pretty good idea (even if not all the sordid details) what was done to us last year.
But I won't hold my breath that it will be everything we deserve to know and expect to be revealed. tRump won't disappoint us with outrageous actions this week to distract and divert attention away from Comey's testimony. I think he gets it that trying to thwart his testimony will not serve him well, but it won't be enough to make him keep his thoughts to himself. Prepare yourself for a crapload of Tweets and anything else he can arrange to take our eyes off of Comey.

14. I can imagine MacMaster + Kelly
On high, almighty one, please don't launch those missiles towards North Korea,
I know George Bush did it in Iraq, but look what happened there.
LOOK WHAT SOME ONE JUST TWEETED

15. Ideally the Wed/Thurs line-up will establish the evidence to support a few counts of impeachment...
IMHO...
Mueller recognizes the urgency of the situation...
And knows the country cannot afford to wait for him to complete every aspect of the investigations currently under his purview....
So, this line-up of testimony will be designed to provide sufficient basis to move forward with the impeachment process...
and sufficient encouragement for those KGOP who are not completely compromised to put country before party.....
Some testimony will be shockingly new to those who are not well versed in current events...
For most DU members it will be confirmation of that which has been known for some time.....
Meanwhile, Mueller can continue tying up all of the loose ends and connecting the dots, so to speak.

16. Not sure but not really expecting bombshells
I can't see Comey delving into areas where Mueller has indicated that it may be part of his investigation and as such he cannot answer.
The Republicans for the most part will go the "unmasking route" and why didn't he go after Susan Rice for unmasking americans caught on FISA warrants.
The Democrats will try and get Comey to say that Trump demanded he stop the investigation or be fired. Comey may testify that it was his impression but won't offer any proof other than his file memo's.

Like every plan the dems have to beat Trump, this too will blow up in their faces.

Just like your prediction that it would be HiLiary in a landslide. :rofl:

Unless I misunderstand his post, he seems to be predicting that somehow, magically, Trump will be gone.
If anyone emerges from it all, toasted, it's likely to be Comey, plus or minus a couple of Loonycrats and Loon-Stream-Media folk.

He will cover his ass taking the 5th and then make some more inuendoes to cloud Trump.
The whole thing is a big liberal bullshit burger.

Hopefully Senator Burr or another R Senator on the Intelligence Committee is an expert at nailing jello to walls.

What I tell lefty at DUmp Jr is that Comey stands in the middle of a mine field he planted.
He will tip toe his way out with boring,well rehearsed statements to avoid lots of uncomfortable questions being asked of him.

My thoughts exactly.

SVP HI5 for that new way to correctly describe what passes for the news media. I'll be using that with absono****ingly attribution. Other than telling you that is sooooooo stolen.

Welcome to Comey Week. What are your expectations?
Pretty much nothing. It will keep you dummies and the MSM occupied while things like this happen:

Make that a triple-stack extra cheese Texas nothingburger with a side order of large nothings and an extra large cup of Nothingade.

Works for me!

" Mr. Director, did you compile memos during the previous Administration, specifically during meetings with President Obama? "
a YES is good enough for me at the moment.
a NO demands a busload of questions, which I will care about at that moment.
an I CAN'T ANSWER IN A PUBLIC SESSION answer is vehemently unacceptable... because it's Comey keeping himself in the arena. It's possible the memos are personal-property. He may go there.
Remember, he uses descriptives like 'nauseated' and 'horrified', so we're dealing with a smarm-flower sort of chap.

Really? What is it you would like to have done to us? You know what I want to have done with you?

Very. SLOWLY.
The rest of us have a pretty good idea (even if not all the sordid details) what was done to us last year.
You lost. Period, and thank God.

But you sublimate that knowledge of having LOST into Russian Hacker & Collusion fantasies.

Follow-up question: Why didn't you keep memos on the previous administration? Why did you start with this administration? Don't you agree that change smacks of either being politically motivated or attempted blackmail?

I heard some of the 1st batch of questions answered by Comey. To sum up: No, Trump did not ask me to stop the investigation. No, the Russians did not hack the election or change one vote. No, Trump did not collude with the Russians.
It is going to be a long day for the DUmmies if this continues.

I have faith in DU-folks ability to hear the opposite of what Comey said. You know ... Prog-Whistles. :rimshot:

Will Kammy have a chance to make an ass of herself again in this hearing?

So we learned that Rump did not obstruct Comey but Obama's AG Loretta Lynch did obstruct the hillary investigation.
Good day to be a schadenboner.
