I got mildly nauseous today listening to his testimony one more time. james comey is a dangerous to the country. he surrounds himself with his own culture of personality, he believes that he is the righteous, last righteous man left standing. when he held that news conference on july 5th, and accuse hillary clinton and then exonerated her, he violated every rule and regulation of the department of justice. he should have been fired that day. he never should have been promoted to stay after the inauguration. he should be fired for the testimony that he is given over the last few months. that july 5th news conference was the original sin. from it, everything else followed. he says today, what would you have done in october the 28th? mr. director, i would have done nothing because i never would have held the july 5th news conference, which forced you to send two letters to conference. tucker: you have worked in and around doj for a lot of your life. expand to the rest about what was wro ....
Finishes what conclusions he finds, but i think it s going to be very hard for him to find anything but comey blatantly violated the rules that governed his conduct on repeated occasions. going all the way back to the july 5th press conference. you know, he walked not just up to the line. he walked over the line in talking about the conduct of someone who the department was no longer going to be investigated, a clear violation of department rules. he talked about an investigation he had not yet received a formal closure from from prosecutors who he was supposed to be working for. that really set the tone for his conduct going to congress and talking about it and then finally that letter, 11 days out from the election, that i think really had a decisive impact. you can look at the way clinton s poll numbers, you know, dropped in the days after that. and i think had he not sent that letter, we d be looking at hillary clinton getting ready to take the oath of office next week. to be f ....
Directors, comey or others, from doing this in the future. i wish they had opened this investigation after the july 5th press conference. maybe it would have stopped comey from sending that letter later in october. i think there s another potential ram fiction, too. you now have comey under investigation for his conduct during the election. at the same time, he is leading the investigation into whether the trump campaign improperly coordinated with russian officials. we ve seen a report they are looking at that. i think it does have you to question, how can comey effectively lead that investigation when his conduct itself is under question? i think it will lend a lot of contradict to those like myself who says there should be a special counsel and bipartisan commission to look at what happened during the election with russian interference. it s hard to see how comey continues to be the person leading that investigation in light of this new development. matt miller, thank you so muc ....
Be it will be politically problematic. she has a deputy who has not been involved. one of the many extraordinary things about this moment is that we have jim comey acting as investigator, prosecutor, public spokesman, and the rest of the justice department is completely silent. tom nobody in the fbi wanted that to be jim comey s role or the role of the fbi in this case. what they had hoped happened was, when bill clinton climbed aboard her plane, she would are done like harrison ford in air force one, get off my plane. because instead of a 15-second hello, good-bye, i thank you, mr. president, it turned into 30-plus minutes that are now the mystery of what was the nature of that discussion, just days before the hillary clinton fbi interview take place, just days before comey does the july 5th press conference and announces no charges. and then she doesn t say, i m reaccusing myself, my deputy ....
Recused from any involvement in this investigation but if she looked like she was trying to stop it, thinsably, a lot of people would be it will be politically problematic. she has a deputy who has not been involved. one of the many extraordinary things about this moment is that we have jim comey acting as investigator, prosecutor, public spokesman, and the rest of the justice department is completely silent. tom nobody in the fbi wanted that to be jim comey s role or the role of the fbi in this case. what they had hoped happened was, when bill clinton climbed aboard her plane, she would are done like harrison ford in air force one, get off my plane. because instead of a 15-second hello, good-bye, i thank you, mr. president, it turned into 30-plus minutes that are now the mystery of what was the nature of that discussion, just days before the hillary clinton fbi interview take place, just days before comey does the july 5th press conference and announces no charges. ....
