23. Comey testified about that at his last "interview" before Congress.

It was because the Russian investigation was not officially public, so he couldn't comment on it. That investigation involved the CIA and such.

He commented on the Clinton e-mails because that was a public investigation.

Mueller probing 2017 meeting between Manafort, Ecuadorian president: report

I just having a little fun at Don Jr's expense

I hope they petition the court to make Don Jr serve his time in a zoo. Maybe then, he'll develop some appreciation for the trophy animals he hunts.

There wasn't the usual supects weren't out pushing the spin. (Gowdy and the others)

Perhaps Comey reminded them, again, of what tRump has done so they didn't run out and spout the B.S.

We knew a counterintelligence investigation was opened in June/July 2016. We knew that Carter Page and likely Manafort were the subjects of FISA warrants. We knew that Trump was not a target *at that time*.


Read up on Josh Marshall's stuff.

e.g. May 2018:

What's new about Comey's testimony from yesterday, to my eye:
For the first time, I believe, he seems to confirm that the letter he got was fake -- the letter that caused him to go public on Hillary in summer 2016, which locked him into going public again in Oct. I should post this in a new thread

Or commit treason by working with a foreign govt. to interfere with ours.

The word meddle, drives me crazy like when the Bushies got everyone to stop saying "people" and call everyone "folks," including Al Qaeda.

Thanks for letting us know a week before the election that you had some emails to read.

Mueller has this information and there isn’t an election in the coming week.
