Nothing he leaked was classified, nor was he an employee of the government when he did it. He didn't break any laws.

As for obstruction of justice....I don't think we learned anything about that yesterday other than it will be up to Mueller to decide.

Are we sure he didn't break any laws? Or did he avoid breaking any laws by not taking the notes from the meeting public himself?

So we learned Trump is not under investigation as libs claimed. We learned Trump did not obstruct justice as libs claimed. What losing position will libs take next?

We also learned Comey was prodded by Loretta Lynch on the Hillary outcome, he felt Trump was pressuring him but didn't follow protocol and report him, and he broke the law and leaked government info.

BIG WIN FOR TRUMP!!!!

He wasn't personally under investigation for the Russia stuff, just his campaign, Flynn, Kushner, Manafort, etc.

Now Trump is personally under investigation for obstruction.

Who has more credibility? The guy under oath on national TV in front of a Senate committee, or the guy hiding behind often mangled, misspelled and paranoid filled tweets calling everybody a liar?

Per CNN.... Trump's outside lawyer insisted Thursday that it was Comey who lied when he detailed conversations between himself and the President, raising the suggestion that Comey committed perjury while testifying under oath.

FALSE NEWS!!!!

TRUMP'S IMPEACHMENT:

Anyone willing to disappear from the political threads until the 2020 election is over if they're wrong? I am.
Two options: No, he will not be impeached or Yes, he will be impeached. Any takers?

MikeT23: No, he will not be impeached

Lots of impeachment talk in this forum.

No takers though.

Weird.

Trump essentially has immunity by majority. The GOP is spineless and there is almost nothing that will cause them to impeach him. At least not now, 18 months before the next election. If Trump's approval is still in the low 30's next summer and there is any teeth to the investigation at all, that might change.

Comey said Trump said "I hope you can let this go." I hope for a lot of ****. Regardless of how Fragile Comey felt, it was not a directive. Without a directive, there's no obstruction.

You can hope for stuff all you want, you aren't the President. Directions can be conveyed by people in power even if the words they use are benign.

Expanding on this, there's a reason Trump made sure to completely clear the room. That wasn't an accident. He knew what he was doing. So did Comey.

Mike doesn't understand context. As was mentioned by one senator yesterday, "When a robber holds a gun to somebody’s head and says ‘I hope you will give me your wallet,’ the word hope is not the most operative word at that moment."

Sure he did. And that's why there's nothing here. Trump said/Comey said, nothing to prove either of them is lying. Oh, other than the fired guy's notes.

Pretty solid evidence there, eh?
