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.

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.

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.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

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.

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.

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.

" 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.

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.
