Hearings Today

[steaver]

So here is what the News is today...

Comey declares no evidence for Trump's "wire tap" comments made one month ago, they are false, case closed. Done looking.

Comey declares Russian involvement with Trump has been under investigation for eight months with no evidence for collusion and no end in sight. Still looking.

Comey also asked if he will promise an investigate into who committed a felony by releasing Flynn's name to the public. Comey says no.

So the FBI has been investigating the connection between Russia and Trump since July of 2016, yet no one has ever put Trump or his people or his residence under surveillance......hmmmmmmm

I don't think we really found out much we didn't already know. But the hearings provided some political circus for the masses. The media loved it. Now they can parse every word to reinforce their agenda.

Incorrect. It's been reported that Roger Stone, Michael Flynn, and Paul Manafort were under surveillance.

Comey said no surveillance ("wire tapping") of the Trump organization.

Comey said no surveillance ("wire tapping") of the Trump organization.

Your view is too broad. He said no tap on the orders of Obama. He did not say that the FBI, CIA or NSA was not watching Trump and his team. Good grief, if you make a call to some foreign countries your call will be screened.

And he came to that conclusion in just about four weeks of investigating. But he is still trying to figure out if Trump was involved with Russia and it's been what..........about 8 months? And he said there is basically no end in sight....could go on for years. No, nothing political going on.......

,,,and the person that committed the felony by giving out confidential information......not interested in finding out.

 

[steaver]

We are to trust the FBI to investigate felonies and they can't even figure out who their own traitors from within are from a hand full of people that it could possibly be.....

The biggest thing to come out of the hearings was that Comey would not confirm that Trump's tweet about Russians not being involved with Trump's campaign was true. That's about it. Asked if Trump's assertion that Russians were not involved in Trump's campaign was true Comey said it wasn't something that they ascertained one way or another.

Yet the news media makes big stories over the fact that one of Trump's tweets might not be true. Big donut hole nothing.

We got a little more than that. We gat a really good list of suspects for the leak of classified information and the violation of Gen. Flynn's constitutional rights.

GOWDY: Do you know whether Director [of National Intelligence] James Clapper knew the name of the U.S. citizen that appeared in the New York Times andWashington Post?

COMEY: I can’t say in this forum because again, I don’t wanna confirm that there was classified information in the newspaper.

GOWDY: Would he have access to an unmasked name?

COMEY: In — in some circumstances, sure, he was the director of national intelligence. But I’m not talking about the particular.

GOWDY: Would Director [of the Central Intelligence Agency James] Brennan have access to an unmasked U.S. citizen’s name?

COMEY: In some circumstances, yes.

GOWDY: Would National Security Adviser Susan Rice have access to an unmasked U.S. citizen’s name?

COMEY: I think any — yes, in general, and any other national security adviser would, I think, as a matter of their ordinary course of their business.

GOWDY: Would former White House Advisor Ben Rhodes have access to an unmasked U.S. citizen’s name?

COMEY: I don’t know the answer to that.

GOWDY: Would former Attorney General Loretta Lynch have access to an unmasked U.S. citizen’s name? COMEY: In general, yes, as would any attorney general.

GOWDY: So that would also include Acting AG Sally Yates?

COMEY: Same answer.

GOWDY: Did you brief President Obama on — well, I’ll just ask you. Did you brief President Obama on any calls involving Michael Flynn?

COMEY: I’m not gonna get into either that particular case that matter, or any
