Conservative Treehouse:
During fired FBI Director James Comey’s testimony today he justified his need to write “memos” after meetings with President Trump because he held concerns that President Trump would lie about their meetings.
However, in citing this reasoning, and later delivering expanded testimony, James Comey exposed his own lying and also the lying of Nancy Pelosi, Adam Schiff, Senator Chuck Schumer, and Senator Mark Warner.

h/t Abigail Adams
He took notes (supposedly) after a tweet about his memories of his meeting with PDJ but never took any notes during a 3 hour meeting with Hillary. And why was he worried about a tape? What was he afraid we would see on that tape with PDJ? How would his written musings counteract a tape?
I am glad he was fired, he seems far too emotional and delicate for that job.
One thing Comey’s testimony seems to have accomplished today is unify the conservative base. If you were listening he confirmed what most conservatives suspected. Comey sure craves the attention. It’ll be interesting to see where this goes in the upcoming weeks. Comey certainly exposed enough today to force the Mueller to expand the investigation to include Lynch’s department of justice.
Were Lynch, Holder, Rice, Kerry, Clapper, etc loyal to Obama?
Comey is a scum bag of the lowest order.
after today’s testimony I’m under the impression that James Comey wears pantyhose
… at least garters & spiked heels
Brad – Lynch was exposed today for sure. Obstruction of justice? Who do you think issued the orders for her to give Comey the order not call it a matter versus what it was?
Edit button, click., .to call it a matter and not what….
It’s simple. Comey wrote detailed memos of his meetings with Trump because he was concerned, but not absolutely convinced that Trump might lie. But Obama, Hillary, Lynch, Holder, Schumer, Pelosi etc. etc. are guaranteed to lie, so no memorandum is needed. In fact, since Obama is his boss, it would be stupid to memorialize any of the three conversations he had with Obama because it would prove the lies.
I would have liked it if Comey had been asked just why it was that he feared DJT would lie.
Seems it’s official! Hannity show just reported from a WH correspondent that Trump has filed complaints with the Congressional Intelligence Oversight committee (and the DoJ?) about leaks from comey.
Let us not forget the EVIL Valerie Jarrett in all our musings re: the previous administration.
@Wyatt — Or he took detailed notes because comey is Deep State and he was cooperating w/the powers within to chronicle every utterance of the POTUS to be used against him at an opportune time.
One of comey’s tells is when he prefaces what he is about to say with the “set up.” For example, he said that he met with Trump privately in Trump tower so that he wouldn’t embarrass Trump in front of others because of the nature of the info in that dossier. That doesn’t make sense because everyone already knew what had been reported in the press about it. comey is big on setting the table with detailed info on what motivated him, but then assigns villainous motives to Trump.
And something else: comey justified leaking his detailed notes to the media because, as he said, “I was a private citizen and I needed to set the record straight.” He was not a private citizen at the time he had the meeting w/Trump or when he wrote the notes.
comey’s leak and his desire to provoke a Special Prosecutor amounts to an attempt to bring Trump down.
@ AA:
That “private citizen” thing caught my attention too. He’s a private citizen having dinner with his wife. Or coaching kids T-ball. Things like that he could tell the media to phuck off if they asked about things like that.
Meeting with the President, he’s the chief of the FBI. Not a “private citizen”. He pulled that out of his ass and he knows it.
if you ask me, comey took notes because comey was lying and needed to keep his story straight.
Couple things, Lordy lordy lordy….
Comey said he didn’t take notes but wrote down note of his meeting after it was over. All could be BS. Trump has issues with them and says that is not what he said, so it’s he said he said. Trump should write down minutes of the meeting as he saw it and leak them.
Committee should ask Comey exactly when did you write notes and why not in an email? Smells fishy to me. Clowny aah Comey probably wrote them after being fired.
January 25th Wash Compost article said Flynn was not under investigation that the FBI cleared him. Was Flynn under investigation on 2.14.17 is the question? If not there was nothing to let go of, except maybe Trump meant to continue to go after him.
This whole thing is a bloodless coup against Trump. Comey is a cowardly worm, playing his part to bring down our President. I pray DJT’s vengeance plays out in a fiery fashion.
Does anyone remember the huge media pile onto Priebus in February when McCabe told Priebus the Feb 14 NYT story was bogus and Trump was not under investigation? Priebus asked if he could go public with that. McCabe said he had to check with Comey. The next day McCabe told Priebus he could not get permission.
The media went on a rant that Priebus/Trump asking the FBI for permission to go public with exculpatory information was a “profound violation of the way we do business”. http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/trump-aide-reince-priebus-asked-fbi-knock-down-russia-stories-n725261
All the while the gang of 8 KNEW the Trump/Russia story was hoax fed by leaks most likely from the FBI but said nothing.
The 4 Republicans are as culpable as the 4 lying dems in that group. Ryan was actively undermining Trump with his foot dragging and passive/aggressive comments.
Private Citizen?
Is that like some-sort of super-hero?
Inmate would be more appropriate.
