    "Protocol" means nothing to the clueless amateurs in the Trump administration.

    Comey told congress if he found any more information he'd inform congress.

    He found the laptop in the possession of one of the Clinton's closest friends, Anthony Weiner, and wondered why Weiner had access to classified information they'd already found on Clinton's private server.

    Then he did what he said he would, and informed congress.

    You might note that it wasn't Comey who leaked it to the press. That was congress.

    Are you saying laws were broken?

    I see a California GOP State Senator was literally dragged out of the chamber after she refused to be silenced for the mortal sin of publicly criticizing Tom Hayden. Mercifully, Hillary Clinton will never be president of the United States of America. So, there's that!

    More of the "But Obama/But Clinton" deflection, because you have no way to defend Trump?

    That gets really old.

    I have no idea what this has to do with anything I said or the thread topic.

    - - - Updated - - -

    I see.

    So it is then okay that the administration wants to use the FBI as a promotional tool for the president's image and dispute news accounts?

    Trump's team is a bunch of amateurs still prone to embarrassing rookie mistakes.

    They have no understanding of the protocol between the WH and the FBI.

    Things like those outlined in the OP are expected when you give a bunch of amateurs "power" (that they have no clue about).

    But, just as America has become the laughing stock of the world (since Trump's election), Trump's administration has become a laughing stock.

    Of course, at this point, intelligent people have gotten used to the rookie mistakes (and outright clueless lunacy) from an administration led by a man who has done nothing but denigrate the dignity of the office of POTUS and trample on the Constitution.

    Republican Congress. . .and Weiner wasn't "close Clinton friend." His EX WIFE was Clinton's aide and a friend.

    Trying to influence the FBI to present false information about an on-going investigation (repress the already shown fact that SEVERAL of Trump's campaign had had repeated contact with the Russian) is an absolute breach of trust and is a grave offense. . .which I'm sure the Republican Congress will soon push under the rug.

    Unless.. . as I have said for the last 3 months, the plan has been all along to give Trump enough rope to hang himself, then let the Democrats take the blame for starting an impeachment process. . .which would lead to the REAL Republican sponsored candidate (Pence) to take over!

    It's very simple. Are you saying Laws were broken? Did you read your own opening post? What's with the virgin act here?

    And I owe it to you to be honest with you. The Drunken Kleptocrat warmonger hands a fifth of US uranium to Russia, and not a peep out of you.

    Obama gets caught on a hot mic promising "more flexibility" with Russia as soon as he is no longer accountable to the voters, and crickets chirp.

    Now Trump isn't hell bent on conflict with Russia and clearly sees the advantages of working with them to combat terrorist and suddenly the left's all screaming and wails. You know, I know, there are those whispers of the Left and the Muslim Bros, but that's more an expression of frustration that a belief that you are truly in collusion with those folks.

    This is such nonsense. There is far more evidence of this than there ever was for Hillary (which was pretty much nothing), yet you guys went on and on about it. Because it was solely for partisan reason. You have the head of FBI right before the election meddle in the election with his nonsense memo that turned out to be nothing while sitting on information about Trump's Russia involvement. YOu have countless links, evidence, that has already come out. So stop lying. Can a conservative be honest? Is that possible? Ever?

    You have the ethics committee who spent how many millions of dollars playing partisan politics on Hillary investigations for complete nonsense and things Trump adminstration is actually doing like not using secure phones and having sensitive government meeting amongst the public, etc, and this guy refuses to investigate? When there is actual evidence.

    Sorry Republicans, you can't defend these actions, they are indefensible. Thanks for pointing out your partisan hackery, hypocristy and dishonesty once and for all. You can't even deny it anymore, the light is shined on it on a daily basis thanks to Trump and his horrendous administration

    Deflection, surprise surprise. Can't offer an argument for Trump or refute the fact people have brought? I don't get why some of you even bother coming to a political forum if you never actually make an argument. What's the point?

    Like it or not, the FBI is PART of the executive branch. Comey has flimsy grounds (ethics) on which to cite his refusal is based. Comey has the right to refuse, and has. Unless Trump asked Comey to give misleading information he was well within his authority to request Comey to update the public if circumstances permitted. Your attempt to twist, contort, or infer impropriety is futile. :spin:

    Did you know that Obama is no longer president? I am pretty sure what you think I did and did not do years ago when Obama was president is not the thread topic. You know how I know this? I started the thread.

    - - - Updated - - -

    That is hysterical.

    You should write Comey and tell him form now on he is no longer in law enforcement, . Instead, his job is to make the (*)(*)(*)(*) bird, idiot president look good.

    Well Bill did preside over Huma and Anthonys wedding. Makes sense, since Clinton and Weiner have so much in common.

    You don't know that the investigation is on-going, you also don't know that it's "false information". The FBI has already said there was no communications that they were aware of being a problem, particularly with Flynn. Yet that doesn't stop democrats from trying to pretend like there was.

    Yes Maxine Waters, Schumer and Pelosi, a veritable powerhouse of democrat brain power, have a grand master plan. I can't wait to see it. I've enjoyed all their other attempts.

    If you got a problem with that off chance meeting on one side and no problem with this, a principled position obviously means nothing to you

    If she'd been blonde and a few years younger I'd believe it was a chance meeting. Not in this case though.

    Dear, Trump and Co. asked the FBI to feed false information to the media by downplaying the investigation and their finding. THAT WE KNOW. And Trump and Co. had about a week to deny that. . .and even they didn't!

    Do you really believe that Trump would have asked for Flynn's resignation if there was no problem with his Russia connection?
    And since then it has been revealed that there were MANY Russian connection between the campaign and Russia!

    If Obama had as much "secret contact" with Russia during his campaign for presidency as Trump did. . .you would have called him a traitor and communist! Hypocrisy is rampant in everyone of your posts!

    And. . .I have no big love for any of the DNC leadership. I do not like Hillary Clinton, and didn't vote for her. So. . .if you are planning on "Making me feel bad" by bad mouthing the DNC. . .please don't waste your time!

    Please provide us with a link that shows the FBI was asked to lie to the media, since you "know" that.

    Yes.

    Obama was a traitor. He was a globalist, I don't know if that makes him a communist though. Was his friend Bill Ayers, the unashamed terrorist, a communist?

    I don't have to bad mouth the DNC, they tripped on their own sword.
