Comey is like Mueller, takes notes.
On an important issue locally, Fred Mangles passed away today, so please think of his wife, family and friends.
The Fredy was a good person.
Thank You

Chris Matthews, of MSNBC, a leading member of the “collusion” witch hunting mob, admitted on-air today that after Comey’s testimony, the entire “Trump colluded with the Russians!” storyline is dead. There is no way to make it fit into the information Comey related.
Also almost funny (if it wasn’t so maddening) that some of what were considered the most important and revealing NYT stories of the last few months were completely and totally wrong. ESPECIALLY the ones about “multiple contacts with the Russians”.
Just to repeat, that is from Comey himself.
The Rollingstone article is just more of the same.
Comey is a self-serving weasel, who only last year should have been fired by Obama for interfering in an election. Last year, Democrats were begging he be fired, and even during the transition, same. He is “the swamp.”
One amusing aspect of this whole saga is the MSM’s lovely volte-face about Trump’s facility with language.
PAST: Trump is an inarticulate idiot who has no idea what he’s saying, doesn’t use words correctly, and therefore can’t be trusted as President.
PRESENT: Trump talking to Comey is using language with great precision and meaning that is so obvious that only highly articulate democrats are capable of parsing it.
Past: Trump is an idiot who is dangerous because he is so stupid.
Present: Trump is so smart that he uses code words for crimes and is able to hide any evidence of collusion with Russia despite the full force of the government and the press looking for it.
For those of you keeping score at home:
* Number of documents proving the Trump/Russia conspiracy theory: 0
* Number of illegal Hillary emails: ~38,000
To be fair, out of all the Hillary e-mails, only about 1000 were criminal and 24 were “Above Top Secret” special access. … and they ended up on a pedophile’s computer.
More updates as they become available.
RIP Fred you will be missed.

LOL…Trump declares that Comey’s testimony “vindicates” him!?!? In reality,, Comey’s testimony directly implicates Trump in obstruction of justice. Meanwhile, as to possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, the investigation was just getting underway in earnest when Trump fired Comey — the first subpoenas only went out the day before. So Trumpsuckers can have fun pretending that the investigation is over and Trump is vindicated…but meanwhile, out in the real world, the investigation continues.
In Trumpsucker fantasy world, the goalposts have been moved to where Trump is in the clear as long as Trump personally did not coordinate the election-hacking with the Russians. But Nixon wasn’t forced to resign because he personally burgled the Democratic headquarters at the Watergate (obviously he didn’t) he was forced to resign because he tried to obstruct the inquiry into actions taken by his underlings.
Ironically, I think it’s quite likely that Trump didn’t personally collude with the Russians, and it’s even possible that none of his underlings did, so if he could have controlled himself and not interfered with the investigation and just let the chips fall where they fell, he could have avoided putting himself in jeopardy. But because he’s Trump, he couldn’t keep his lips zipped and couldn’t keep his tiny hands off the investigation. Like most of Trump’s wounds, this one is also largely self-inflicted.

It is pretty funny. “Comey’s a liar but his testimony vindicates me.”

Uh huh, Watergate
Both Comey and Trump are liars, showboaters…….but Comey takes memos, notes……..Trump tweet twits his manipulative BS.
Trump is a big fat pussy cat doll, can’t even utter words out his ownouth, ‘I am not a liar”…….Trump would be the biggest laugh, brunt butt of jokes on late night……he’d have a stroke followed by an aorta fibrilesque heart attack, become a plegic to some degree, and then his hair do goes to pot because Yrump can’t pussy grab at it no more.
The only problem between Trump and Hillary is that now Hillary escapes deserved criticism to stay alive politically as a has been, but with perks.

What’s the record for the fastest any president in their first term of creating a litigious environment where Capitol Hill is nothing but hearings and testimonies from people regarding allegations of criminal conduct by the commander and chief and those he engages with?
Not even Nixon broke the sound barrier, the Trump Bellows blow the barrier off the Earth’s mantle and into Stratosphere levels………
Trump’s family less the little kid is a bunch of posers and really who thinks his wife is happy being married to that bag of shit……. It’s all about money Fame Glory attention getting………..
Trump is going down as top 5 worst Presidents ever in this country after a year one if not already after day one..
Trump is a chump

Swamp – Trump hires em up after telling his supporters he was draining the Swamp.
Question: how many Trump voters are now looking in the mirror and denying to them self that Trump is their own worst nightmare…… Voters who have no internal fortitude to admit that they fucked up are the worst kind of Voters there is because they’ll just keep doing it, fucking up their vote that is……… Not saying Hillary should have got the votes nor Jill Stein nor Bernie, just validating reality and history which is has been reality.
Stein has been quiet lately. Bernie is back to his bullshiting. Hilary Re-upped her bitchy whining blame game….Obama is looking like a scholar……news is focused on scandals……..stock market is ballooning dangerously……..military maneuvers are revisiting 30 years ago the conflcts……..etc…
Again, gubbamint only fucks up your life……..

All those folks who believe gubbamint aides lives……funny because those claims only come AFTER some service created to resolve what the pre-service gubbamint created society caused and or gubbamint itself caused.
Example of gubbamint society caused injuries:
Eat out, break a tooth on bone fragment
Insurance should be free to all paid for by current tax bases……or, gubbamint created society needs to punish the food business and force them to pay damages and health care costs………but neither is occuring, and millions of examples exist……..
Gubbamint is all 100% FRAUD,
Book it price strikers, book it good……all about cooking books!

A simple question to the liberal readers…..does it bother anyone that the Director of the FBI was leaking government documents to the media? And yes…..they were government documents.

Sure, if he did that, nail him to the wall. Who’s in charge of the Department of Justice?

Does it bother me that the former FBI director “leaked” his own personal, contemporaneous notes to the media? No, why should it? They’re not classified documents and Comey doesn’t appear to have broken any laws.
I get that Trumpsuckers desperately wish those notes didn’t exist, or that somehow they could be hidden from the public. But they do, and they can’t, so you’re just gonna have to live with it. Tough break, so sad.
But here’s an idea — if you don’t want to have to defend against accusations of obstruction of justice, don’t try to interfere with an FBI investigation, and then fire the chief investigator when he doesn’t go along with you. Which is quite clearly what Trump was doing and did. In a completely ham-fisted way, of course.

The guy handed the election to Trump. He’s probably pissed at the lack of gratitude.
It’s simple. Trump wanted Flynn off the hook and the investigation into the Russians ended. Comey wasn’t going to go that far to bat for Trump. Trump fired him.
Nixon was impeached for just saying “Uh huh” to Haldeman when the latter suggested having the CIA head talk to the investigator. Our standards of conduct have sure declined.

Eric…did you even listen to Comeys testimony? He said that Trump told him to investigate the Russian issue thoroughly, and anyone connected to him. You get your own opinions, not your own facts. And I’m sorry if I offended your liberal positions by using the word “investigate” instead of referring to it as a “matter”.

JW, EK and the two live crew,
Comey is no more or less a “whistleblower”.
Notes/memos are unclassified.
Trump uses the wrong wording intentionally to create melodrama and rifts.
Trump is back to the wire tapping style of wordplay.
Fuck Trump, let the SS, FBI, DOJ fuck with HOJ…..be no different than local gubbamint fucks that get nowhere.

Trump also asked for loyalty in the same Russian/Flynn closed door, tape threatening corruption get-together.
Then, Trump cant bellow the words “he does not lie” but rather, invent some stupid, clearly premeditated response suggesting that his loyalty demands were different than what he originally said they were…….. Trump was pulling the Hillary wipe the disk moment.
For what it’s worth, both Comey and Trump are fucking Liars and water carriers for the two party system of government and they both have personally degraded this country with their involvement in society.

At the hearings, Kamala Harris should have said,
“Respectfully threw the chair I asked a simple yes or no question and instead of yes or no this hearing and everyone here is getting a train ride from the west coast to the east coast and back…..”
Government’s a bunch of shills, a bunch of pieces of you know what who aren’t really doing their job, nor do they want to do their job, nor will they allow maybe certain people to do their job,
so why do we have a government anyways?

Asked why he thought Trump fired him, Comey said he did not know for sure. He added: “Again, I take the president’s words. I know I was fired because of something about the way I was conducting the Russia investigation was in some way putting pressure on him, in some way irritating him, and he decided to fire me because of that.”
June 10, 2017 at 10:28 am

Trump saying he wanted the investigation to go forward came after he had already tried (and failed) to get Comey to let Flynn off the hook. It came among numerous public statements from Trump calling the investigation a witch hunt and a waste of taxpayer money, and before Trump then fired the guy who declined to let Flynn off the hook and then bragged to the Russians that he had been under “great pressure” from the Russia investigation, but had “taken off” that pressure by firing Comey.
So Trumpsuckers are welcome to cherry pick one statement from the President and ignore all of the surrounding statements, actions, and facts, but the rest of us are certainly under no obligation to do something so ridiculous, neither are Congressional investigators, nor is Independent Counsel Mueller. Nor is there any good reason for anyone to take the Liar-In-Chief at his word on anything. He’s got the classic Boy Who Cried Wolf problem…history of lying leads to no credibility. Which, as with virtually all his problems, is entirely self-inflicted.

Who is the worst person Donald Trump or former Eureka attorney Jason Singleton?
Funny thing is HOJ complained about what Jason Singleton had been doing to private businesses but that he wasn’t doing the necessary shit stiring to our local government hacks.
Then voila, the Department of Justice comes out against local government (the county of Humboldt to be specific) and says y’all have ADA deficiencies and problems that need to be mitigated and corrected or else you’re in trouble.
The difference – gubbamint gives extensions to itself to delay corrective actions, but local gubbamint won’t delay against the citizen……fines…..
“Who protects who” to create a false impression of a sanctid institution is the game of drones.
Imagine that, the DOJ is spanking Humboldt County and investigating the White House at the same moment…….home and abroad are scandals in the making, what a hoot.

Imagine government telling all the little citizens of the country that they have to do this, they have to do that, you got to provide this, you got to provide that……..and all along here it is ………big old bad government doesn’t do any of it even though it’s telling other people that they’ve got to do it.
