Comey To Testify Publicly That "Trump Did Push Him To End" Flynn's Russia Probe

The showdown between Donald Trump and James Comey will be televised after all.

According to CNN, the former FBI director plans to testify publicly in the Senate as early as next week to confirm bombshell accusations that President Donald Trump "did push Comey to end his investigation into a top Trump aide's ties to Russia."

As a reminder, it was allegations that Trump was urging the former FBI director to end the FBI's ongoing probe into Michael Flynn (all allegedly written down in Comey's notebook, which so far few if anyone besides Comey has seen), that prompted the worst stock market selloff in mid-May, when some interpreted Trump's actions as an attempt to obstruct justice, with some speculating that Trump could even be impeached if Comey's allegations were confirmed.

 
From Heather MacDonald. Who can argue with these obvious musings? Yet, here we are...

Since liberals and progressives will not allow a rethinking of open borders policy, perhaps they would support improved intelligence capacity so as to detect terror attacks in the planning stages? Nope. The Left still decries the modest expansions of surveillance power under the 2001 Patriot Act as the work of totalitarianism. Former New York Police Commissioner Ray Kelly sought to gather publicly available information about dense Muslim neighborhoods in New York in order to monitor potential radicalization; his discontinued initiative is still denounced as anti-Muslim oppression. Internet companies protect encrypted communications from government access, to the applause of civil libertarians and the mainstream media. The National Security Agency’s mass data analysis, done by unconscious computer algorithms, is still being challenged in court.

What about using ordinary police powers to try to hinder terrorism? Islamic terrorists in Europe have moonlighted as crooks, engaging in drug dealing, robberies, vandalism, and theft. The U.S. should have zero tolerance for any criminal activity committed by aliens: break the criminal law and you’re out of here. Deporting alien criminals is both an anti-crime and an anti-terrorism strategy. Yet mayors and police chiefs in sanctuary jurisdictions across the country continue to release alien criminals back into the community from jail in defiance of requests by Immigration and Customs Enforcement to hold the criminals briefly for removal proceedings. The New York Police Department defied every ICE detainer request it received in the first four months of 2017, instead releasing 179 alien criminals back into the streets, according to the New York Post.

So what does the progressive and liberal bloc offer? Treacly bromides, combined with fatalism about the necessity of adjusting to future attacks. A day after Manchester,
the Washington Post admonished:

"As nations across the West have learned, it is not possible to prevent all such terrorist attacks, especially when they are staged by homegrown militants. What is possible is a response that focuses on uniting rather than dividing a diverse society. That’s what was happening in Manchester on Tuesday, as thousands of people of all races and faiths gathered for a vigil in the city’s Albert Square. “I’m not here as a person with brown skin or someone born Muslim,” a man named Amir Shah told a Guardian reporter. “I’m here as a Mancunian.” If that spirit prevails, the terrorists will have failed."

No, the terrorists will have failed if they can no longer slaughter children. They don’t care if a terror attack is met with candlelight vigils; they care if border restrictions and law enforcement make it impossible to destroy lives."

Of course they interviewed a Muslim for their Manchester puff piece.

Does the left ever listen to how conflicting their stances are on everything? Enforcing borders won't stop or hinder terrorism but gun control is going to stop gun violence?

Don't dare profile Muslims based off of history, modern day and their religious beliefs that we all know but let's push white provilege and profile whites as super racist opressors who are out to get minorities and have everything handed to them?

You cannot claim to be in America's best interest and patriotic while supporting the left. Can't do it. They will not follow the law. They encourage population replacement. They hate our history, culture and values. They want to disarm citizens. They burn our flag. They will not do anything to help prevent terrorist attacks or our lands being invaded and conquered. They openly hope for our president to be murdered and use poisonous media to try and destroy anyone who dare opposes their Marxist utopia.

Country over party, the left now claims? Haha. Right. They try to destroy this nation every chance they get and have not once had any criticism toward their own party.

Apparently Baron Trump saw the Kathy Griffin photo.

Imagine seeing people hoping to murder your father and you've never done anything to justify such absurd hate.

The left wants Trump to be assassinated. Of course they'll never admit to it, but why else are they trying so hard to dehumanize the Trumps?

Why Democracy Always Fails

Some are able to escape this trap. They tend to have higher intelligence and be concerned with accuracy, namely how closely the impressions and predictions in their minds match the working of reality outside of the mind. They also have a moral sense which is not, in the herd style, a defensive morality aimed at avoiding loss of life, but a creative morality which strives to improve the quality of life as an existential experience.

Those are rare, however, and when the vote is taken, there are fewer of them than homeless guys voting for free toilet paper in every election, and so they are statistically eliminated early in the process. On top of that, however, we can see another reason why democracy always fails: voters choose appearance over reality.

Prefer the Middle East so they can no longer be naive to these pagans. Also please find the video
 
Remember when a rodeo clown wore an Obama mask and there was a doj investigation? The left just got that moment when basing your entire reasoning process on feelings and emotions just back fired w Griffin

I hate Kathy Griffin and I'm a huge fan of Trump. But for some reason, I think the Baron will be okay.

Probably but I can't imagine being 10 and seeing people want to murder my dad and being so crazy to make a mock of his head to appear as it was cut off.

Seeing people act as nuts about Trump is unprecedented so hard to imagine what it's like to experience that firsthand for you or your family.

But in the age of the left being offended over pronouns or a black person gettin their feelings hurt, they seem to think this type of crap is okay.
 
I believe that a great deal more is fair in comedy than in casual conversation or public decorum. In fact, very little is off limits. I'm also more forgiving when comics cross the line. Which is why Kathy Griffin p!sses me off. Own your bit, don't bail when you get a little heat.
 
Jay Sekulow just undressed the panel on Anderson Cooper in a manner so destructive I don't think I've ever seen on one of these dumb ass shows before. Hope it's tweeted out at some point so it can be posted here.

Side note----> Jennifer Granholm is dumb. Pretty dumb.
 
I am more worried about Berniecrats than Russia. Once they take down the DNC we should be prepared to destroy their movement. Make sure this gets it's "fair share" in the media coverage.

Media Yawn at Venezuela’s Spiraling, Socialist Nightmare
Study finds ABC, CBS, NBC barely cover left-wing catastrophe, avoid word 'socialism'

Out of approximately 50,000 total evening news stories on ABC, CBS and NBC combined in the last four years, just 25 have covered the ongoing crisis in socialist Venezuela, acucording to a Media Research Center study published Tuesday.

After Venezuela’s former socialist president, Hugo Chávez, passed away in March 2013, the country has spiraled into economic disaster and civil chaos.

Nice post in regards to a relevant but suppressed story, fatty
