Comey Releases Prepared Testimony: “I Hope You Can See Your Way To Letting This Go… I Need Loyalty”
– Comey Releases Prepared Testimony: “I Hope You Can See Your Way To Letting This Go… I Need Loyalty”:
Ahead of tomorrow’s much-anticipated testimony, former FBI Director James Comey has released his prepared remarks.
Comey make no accusations but he does outline how he had concerns with some of President Trump’s behavior – although he makes it clear that Trump never ordered him to do anything – specifically the president’s intent with requests for “loyalty” and repeated direct outreach to Comey. Speaking through Sessions, Comey asked that Trump’s outreach stop as it made him “uncomfortable.”
Looks Like CNN’s Anonymous Sources Got This One Wrong
– Looks Like CNN’s Anonymous Sources Got This One Wrong:
Since CNN previously informed the world, via anonymous sources of course, that “Former FBI Director James Comey is reportedly set to testify he never told President Donald Trump that he was not under investigation,” perhaps they can now explain these three sentences taken directly from Comey’s testimony which prove otherwise.
What are the chances that CNN will retract their inaccurate reporting on this issue?

Taking the generous way out, former FBI Director James Comey sent a farewell letter on Wednesday to friends and agents, in which he notes he does not bear a grudge and notes that “a President can fire an FBI Director for any reason, or for no reason at all” and adds that “I’m not going to spend time on the decision or the way it was executed. I hope you won’t either. It is done, and I will be fine, although I will miss you and the mission deeply.”
Comey urges the FBI, which he described as “a rock of competence, honesty, and independence” to continue its “mission of protecting the American people and upholding the Constitution” and concludes by saying that his “hope is that you will continue to live our values and the mission of protecting the American people and upholding the Constitution. Working with you has been one of the great joys of my life. Thank you for that gift.”

Watch Live: FBI Director Labels WikiLeaks “Intelligence Porn” And Other Senate Hearing Updates
On WikiLeaks:
“In my view, a huge portion of WikiLeak’s activities has nothing to do with legitimate news gathering, informing the public…but is simply about releasing classified information to damage the United States of America. It’s ‘intelligence porn’…just push it out in order to damage.”
– Watch Live: FBI Director Labels WikiLeaks “Intelligence Porn” And Other Senate Hearing Updates:
Updates From Hearing:
On his decision to announce the re-opening of the Hillary investigation:
In response to the very first question from Senator Feinstein, Comey explains his thought process leading up to his October 28th announcement that the FBI would be re-opening its investigation into Hillary’s email scandal after 1,000s of new emails were found on Anthony Weiner’s computer. While he said that the idea that his decision had any impact on the election makes him “mildly nauseous,” he would make the same decision today.

– Trump Is Keeping FBI Director Comey:

The political fallout from this decision will make the news cycle buzz today, since Hillary Clinton, the mainstream media, and many Democrats blame Mr. Comey for her defeat, and it is not clear whether she would have kept him on had she won.

Obama “Meddles”, Slams FBI Director: “We Don’t Operate On Leaks”
– Obama “Meddles”, Slams FBI Director: “We Don’t Operate On Leaks”:
In an unexpected flip-flop, just two days after White House spokesman Josh Earnest said that “President Obama doesn’t think Comey tried to influence the election” and that “Obama still believes Comey has good character”, the US president – who has expressly stated that he doesn’t wan’t to look like he is meddling – on Wednesday changed his tune, when he unleashed criticism addressed at FBI Director James Comey’s disclosure of the Bureau’s new probe into Hillary Clinton’s private email server.
In his first public comments on the decision, Obama told NowThis News he did not want to interfere with the investigation. Yet, he did just that when he said it’s important that the public’s judgment not be colored by incomplete information, hinting that the reopening of the FBI probe should not influence voter decisions, even though it would mark the first time a candidate could become president pending an active FBI investigation, with potential criminal consequences.
“I do think that there is a norm that when there are investigations, we don’t operate on innuendo,” Obama said in the interview published Wednesday. “We don’t operate on incomplete information. We don’t operate on leaks. We operate based on concrete decisions that are made.”

“Nobody Is Above The Law. Guaranteed. Full Stop.” – Meltdown At The Justice Department Exposes Obama’s Lies
Originally posted op-ed at The Wall Street Journal,
Fewer than three of 10 Americans trust government to do the right thing always or most of the time, Gallup reports, and the years since 2007 are “the longest period of low trust in government in more than 50 years.” The details emerging about the multiple investigations into Hillary Clinton explain a lot about this ebbing public confidence in institutions such as the Justice Department and Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Start with Attorney General Loretta Lynch. A cavalcade of former Justice heavyweights are now assailing FBI director James Comey for reopening the Clinton email file, and Justice sources are leaking that the director went rogue despite Ms. Lynch’s counsel not to alert Congress so close to an election.
