ABC: Comey will not say Trump obstructed justice

http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/excl...mp-obstructed-justice-flynn/story?id=47865739

He may say he felt uncomfortable or that he thought it was inappropriate but stopped short of obstruction.

It's not Comey's place to make that determination. Comey's role is to testify. It is up to a prosecutor to determine if obstruction occurred. It is also up to the Senate to decide, based on his testimony and all other evidence, whether impeachment is appropriate or not and potentially at a later date, if more evidence surfaces.

Wrong.

LOL. Yeah, if Comey, who was the Director of the FBI and was the only other person in the meeting said it was not obstruction, someone else is going to say it was. No way in hell. Dream on.

Who else would Trump have approached to get the investigation halted? No one else had the authority to stop it. Comey has already testified that no one at DOJ ever tried to obstruct an investigation.

LMAO...moving the goal posts.

Let's just wait and see what he says and where the investigation goes.

You really don't understand the role of a witness. A witness provides testimony. A witness doesn't act as a jury nor a judge nor a prosecutor. Comey will be asked what happened and he will provide his account of what happened and will provide his memorandums.

Mark it down.

Was the FBI at any time ever ready to charge Flynn with a crime?

Why would Trump even ask him (Comey) to let Flynn off the hook (if he did ask that) for what?

What is it Flynn is alleged to have done that warranted an FBI investigation into possible criminal or illegal activity?

BS...people are looking to his testimony as the smoking gun...now the tune is changing. But please do keep on posting about it. It provides great laughter. Should just let it play out and see what happens.

And it COULD be a smoking gun. It depends on what he says. If he says "trump asked me to stop the investigation" and won't answer if he thinks that is obstruction of justice, because that is not his role, anyone else will determine that it is obstruction.

Again, I expect him to answer questions related to what happened at their meetings. That is his role.

Do you understand now?

That's fine, but if Comey says there was no obstruction, then no one else is going to find obstruction. Comey was the only one in the room. And the department of justice was the only other department capable of stopping an FBI investigation, and the FBI has already testified that the DOJ did no such thing.
 
I thought MSM is all fake news.

I can't keep up with whacko hypocrisy.
Get with it bru! If it's news not favorable to Trump, it's fake. Otherwise, it's real. It's similar to leakers. If they leak something bad about a Dem, that is acceptable and the leaker is a patriot. If it's bad about a Repub, then the leaker deserves life in prison or worse.

Maybe that's why he didn't indict Hidabeast, he's totally incapable of making the correct decision.

This is going to be entertaining if past committee action is indicative. Remember the stupid questions the Dems asked when Hillary or other liberals were the guests. Repubs asked serious questions and Dems made stupid remarks to consume their time allotment. Repubs now have time ask non-related questions. Tarmac will come up frequently. Is Clinton charities really clean? Is Chelsea salary reasonable forr How could Hillary not be charged after all evidence produced? Why no jury was involved? What evidence suggested the "no courtroom"? Is this a chance for a couple past agents to shine? I want a ringside seat for this one
 
Let's be real for a second without any bias.

Comey shouldn't say a thing about his OPINION on an ongoing investigation that Mueller and/or the FBI is doing. So saying nothing along these lines mean nothing. But you whackos read everything into anything that can be interpreted as a positive for your preconceived beliefs.

Great analysis Sherlock. At least three of us were already commenting along that line of thought.

RPJ are you keeping score of how many of the stories the MSM is running on Trump that turn out to be either wrong, or nothing?

Maybe a better question for you would be what would you say has been the biggest one yet which turned out to be true?

You can start with their predictions of him not winning the Republican primaries last summer and move forward from there. It's a pretty long list of failure and inaccurate reporting.

Guess what RPJ?

Comey's testimony proving no "obstruction of justice" charges will be just the latest you can toss onto the trash heap.

I'm sure you'll be very happy.

The Senate decides innocence or guilt of the charges (impeachment) brought by the House. So, yes, the Senate does have the ultimate say just as he said.

Actually the Senate votes to convict, not decide "innocence". Then the full Congress votes to remove him from Office.

"Innocence" can only be proven in a court of Law because a citizen is presumed innocent until proven guilty.

Congress is not a court of Law, it's one of the three governing branches and they vote to remove the Executive from office for not upholding his duty under the Constitution by committing treason or other high crimes or misdemeanors.

His "innocence" is never in question under an impeachment. It's his malfeasance in Office.
