What's this?

I agree with VaGent, among one other important reason...

Yeah, Trump set the bar to a certain position by riling his masses up with "lock her up!" chants on the campaign trail like he's running for pres of Venezuela.

Loretta Lynch telling Comey to refer to the email thing as a matter, not an investigation, may have come from Loretta Lynch, and nobody else. And that in no way compares with juvenile hysteria on Twitter when you are the pres of the US. "Slimeball Comey..." - our president sounds like a 12 year old in a preteen Twitter war.

Which is Trump being Trump, and not the end of the world at this point. It's what he does. But he brings this special scrutiny on himself, just like be brought Mueller on himself, and then complains that he gets singled out. As do his minions. If he can't take the heat, he could stop tweeting like that.

All I'm saying is that Comey, I'm sure, hopes he continues his tirades - each one sells lord knows how many more books.

Boy, Trump sure is selling a lot of books for Comey. ** -- hoolstoptheheels 04/15/2018 6:09PM

I'm not sure why Trump is singled for worrying about political appearances -- HokieDan95 04/16/2018 10:47AM

He ONLY cares about political appearances to the extent they impact his -- 111Balz 04/16/2018 12:50PM

"Well you can't blame x for y because of Trump!" is the lazy back up -- HokieDan95 04/16/2018 11:50AM

I don't understand your objection. I don't expect the DOJ/FBI to do -- hoolstoptheheels 04/16/2018 12:30PM

Would you know about that if Comey hadn't mentioned it? -- hoolstoptheheels 04/16/2018 1:10PM

I just wanted clarification on why you thought the order to change the -- HokieDan95 04/16/2018 1:57PM

I just didn't understand you. No red herrings there IMO. -- hoolstoptheheels 04/16/2018 2:14PM

I made it clear they were told to say "matter" in the first post in this -- HokieDan95 04/17/2018 08:32AM

This is like a twilight zone episode on reading comprehension. -- hoolstoptheheels 04/17/2018 09:31AM

Ok then, Vagent said lock her up might have something to do with it -- HokieDan95 04/17/2018 11:02AM

I agreed? I don't know who Vagent is. This just gets more bizarre to me -- hoolstoptheheels 04/17/2018 11:11AM

I don't know, Dan. I wonder if "Lock her up" might have anything to do w/it ** -- VAGentleman05 04/16/2018 10:59AM

Interesting bit of info that ABC decided not to even air -- WahooMatt05 04/16/2018 09:25AM

That IS interesting. It somewhat explains why he thought that -- 111Balz 04/16/2018 09:37AM

Did he release it, or did Jason Chaffetz -- wahoo138 04/16/2018 10:36AM

I have not seen anything that said Trump was under investigation at that -- Hokieesith 04/16/2018 09:54AM

People on the Trump campaign were. That would've been headline news ** -- WahooMatt05 04/16/2018 09:58AM

Which is why Comey says he chose not to go public with that. -- hoolstoptheheels 04/16/2018 4:48PM

In fact, the FBI was telling the NYT that they couldn't find anything -- WahooMatt05 04/16/2018 10:02AM

And that spooked Christopher Steele ** -- hooshouse 04/16/2018 11:27AM

Probably the best example of Fake News -- wahoo138 04/16/2018 10:38AM

Yeah, likely the same ones who tipped off Rudy Guiliani about the FBI news ** -- WahooMatt05 04/16/2018 10:46AM

Comey said he wasn't. ** -- hoolstoptheheels 04/16/2018 09:58AM

I don't dislike him. And I find him credible. -- hoolstoptheheels 04/16/2018 08:53AM

He's absolutely allowed to have his say ... that's not really what I'm -- CharlestonSC 04/16/2018 09:07AM

I don't agree with some of what he's done, but I don't judge him too -- hoolstoptheheels 04/16/2018 09:16AM

Only because he thought she was going to win -- wahoo138 04/16/2018 09:34AM

They all thought she would win...... ** -- ConnHoo 04/18/2018 8:31PM

Is this supposed to be in response to what I said above? -- Chuck Taylor 04/16/2018 11:06AM

I guess he believed that someone in the FBI would leak the info before -- 111Balz 04/16/2018 09:41AM

That's just it - nobody knows. Even now. -- hoolstoptheheels 04/16/2018 09:57AM
