Media Begins To Manage Expectations - Why The Comey Hearing Is "Going To Be A Bust"
by Tyler Durden
Jun 6, 2017 2:44 PM
To say that the mainstream media is super excited about Comey's forthcoming testimony would be a bit of an understatement. The idea that the former FBI Director may offer up the first piece of tangible evidence that Trump committed a potentially impeachable offense has stoked outright hysteria at the likes of CNN and MSNBC. CNN even went so far as to describe the hearing as "Washington's Super Bowl"...
(http://www.zerohedge.com/sites/default/files/images/user230519/imageroot/2017/06/06/2017.06.06%20-%20Super%20Bowl_0.JPG)
...and has been updating their audience, days in advance we might add, on the 700 different ways they'll be able to tune into the live hearing scheduled for later this week.
Beginning at 9:45 a.m. ET, live coverage of the testimony will be on CNN and streaming on CNN.com, the CNN app on phone and tablet, and on mobile devices. You can also watch it on your Apple TV, Roku, and Amazon Fire TV with the CNNgo app, CNN's Facebook Page and via Apple News.[/quote]
But while pretty much every mainstream media outlet is on the edge of their seats praying for Trump's downfall to play out on live TV, Charles Krauthammer of Fox News is a bit more skeptical, if not just a bit more realstic. Speaking with Fox's Brett Baier, Krauthammer pointed out that Comey is masterful at protecting his own ass and would never slip up to the point of alleging outright obstruction because he would be "indicting himself for not resigning, for not making a statement, for not bringing it out in the open."
“Here there is one question — did the president obstruct justice? That’s what everybody is waiting for. I don’t think there’s anything of great interest other than that.
And his answer I think is going to be obvious. He will navigate to a point where he says, ‘Well, there might’ve been some pressure but it’s not obstruction.’ Why? Because if it were obstruction, then he is indicting himself. For not resigning, for not making a statement, for not bringing it out in the open.
So he can’t say it’s obstruction which is what everybody who wants to see Trump destroyed is waiting to hear. So what we will hear is something navigating in between and saying ‘Well, it wasn’t really pressure, he was speaking on behalf of an associate, a friend. It could be interpreted in various ways.’ That’s what I think is going to happen and that’s why I think it’s going to be a bust.”

Annoymorously sourced. I can wait till Thursday. At least it won't be 24 business hours.
Besides, DU-folk will tell you ABC is Reich-Wing Corporate news.

Sounds like Comey could regain his A-Hole status on DU.

The entirety has been released. I have read it. There is nothing there to hurt Trump. Everything in the report has already been discussed a bazillion times -- Comey told Trump 3 times Trump was not under investigation, Trump said he wanted loyalty from his people, Trump mentioned (pretty much word for word as was previously reported) that Flynn was a good guy and probably should be left alone.
Nothing new, nothing against Trump at all, nothing burger -- just as we all suspected.

11. Holy hell.
I just read the transcript. I don't know which is worse. FF45's naivete about protocol and the law or his blatant disregard for protocol and the law. He's ridiculous. He's guilty as sin. I'm a little surprised that this was released a day ahead. What's up with that?
It does make for pretty good reading, I must say.

15. I love it. Comey is going straight for Trump's throat.
Did he really mention "hookers?"
And just in the opening statement?
This upcoming testimony might be a bit more interesting than I thought.

So after this witch hunt is over and there is nothing there they, will call it a cover up and a giant conspiracy by the Russians, Macedonians, Aliens and the reischwingers. :panic: :panic: :panic: :panic:

Odds are yes. Oh this is going to rank right up there with Fitzmas day. :yahoo:
Even though comey... or someone... released some docs that pretty much cleared President Trump the dummies cannot and will not believe the truth. Absent a big blockbuster revelation the dummies are in for a very long, disappointing day.
For some reason this makes me happy! :lmao:

And this does not help the dummies see reality:
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2017/06/07/james-comey-testimony-trump-pressed-me-shut-down-michael-flynn-investigation/102593578/ (https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2017/06/07/james-comey-testimony-trump-pressed-me-shut-down-michael-flynn-investigation/102593578/)
First paragraph:
WASHINGTON — Former FBI director James Comey confirmed in stunning detail Wednesday that President Trump privately requested his loyalty and later urged him to drop the investigation into ex-national security adviser Michael Flynn, according to a preview of his highly anticipated
Stunning? I seem to recall that stunning revelation was on the washpo a few months ago.
Still, Comey's written statement is more than a simple recounting of conversations with Trump. It is remarkable for its detail, describing furnishings in the rooms where they met, their seating arrangements and their often wide-ranging discussions by telephone.
USA Yesterday setting up comey as having an eidetic memory.
I won't bring the rest over. Don't wanna get CC in trouble over fair use.
It is well worth the read spin though. Isn't any wonder the dummies get their hopes up.

My thinking is they will glom onto something (such as the supposed demanding loyalty thing) as proof of wrongdoing. They will then interpret the lack of any impeachment of or resignation by Trump as evidence of how corrupt his administration is, blah blah blah, etc.

I have a crisp new one hundred dollar bill that says, Trump is going to eviscerate Comey in an early Friday morning tweet and own the fake news cycle until Monday afternoon.

It was wrong if Trump asked Comey for his loyalty. Wrong, but not illegal.
Comey had already pledged his loyalty to Hillary Clinton, as evidenced by his refusal to recommend prosecuting her.

To me this is not unusual. When the small company I worked for was bought up by Allied Chemical the head of the western division came and said the same thing to the company. I was a critical employee at the time. I got a one on one with this big wig (I was only 23 but had worked there since 18) He said the same thing. Every single person that has been in a position of executive transition knows this is SOP. It is half atta boy and half I will screw you speech.

Given the actions of so many of the Obama Regime holdovers, a loyalty oath is probably needed.

Honestly, I don't think it was.
Comey had already show his colors during the campaigns. It was blatantly obvious that he allowed the political scene to influence his investigation of Clinton. We all know full well, had that been an average Joe or low level State Dept. employee with ALL the same variables, they would be in jail right now, there is absolutely no question about it.
Trump needed to know who he could rely on to support his agenda, and Comey had shown that he was unstable, unpredictable, and unreliable. As we all know, Trump isn't necessarily an expert at smoothing over his words. He rash, harsh and abrasive, but direct. He insists on people knowing where he is going and what he needs to get there... and doesn't care if he hurts anyone's feelings or career while doing it. He's an execution and results oriented personality.
Maybe not the best management style for someone in a political position, but it is Trump and it is what we wanted (I have a mouse in my pocket).
Trump wanted to know: "Are you going to play political musical chairs, or are you gonna be straight and support me".
I don't think that was at all unreasonable.
At the point where he starts straying onto ethical thin ice, such as "stop an investigation, it will hurt me", then yea... this would be bad juju for sure. But I honestly don't think that happened.

The only obstruction of justice I've heard from Comey during his testimony came from AG Lynch.

And Comey could possibly be one of the main leakers that this administration has been having problems with.

This DUmmie forgets that Comey lined out a long list of crimes that Hillary committed, but said there was no "intent". That was not his decision to make, because intent is not a part of any law covering Hillary's crimes.

There were, he said so.

If I had, when I was a young cavalry officer in West Germany, anything marked 'Confidential' or even 'For Official Use Only' in my apartment, I would have had a fair amount of 'me time' in Mannheim, at least. Probably FT Leavenworth, too, and it wouldn't have been for CGSC or CAS Cubed, either.

Not at all. Check this out:
https://www.axios.com/comey-testifies-in-front-of-senate-intel-committee-live-updates-2436847918.html (https://www.axios.com/comey-testifies-in-front-of-senate-intel-committee-live-updates-2436847918.html)
Pertinent excerpt:
Another big thing: After his firing and this Trump tweet, Comey asked a close friend of his — Columbia law professor Daniel Richman — to leak the content of his memos to the media with the hope of triggering the appointment of a special counsel.
Now to my way of thinking... you are willing to leak this, then you are willing to leak just about anything. The reason? You want to get President Trump.
