What will make the NYT headline.

Comey said there is no evidence of Collusion and there is no evidence of wiretaps. Which do you think will make the headlines of NYT, the paper that reported the wiretaps were happening for months?????

They have been investigating the Russia Trump link for MONTHS I find it hard to believe that Comey can find his azz with both hands considering how long these investigation go on.

His investigations go on so long that any damaging info is destroyed long before Comey get to any of it. Just look at Hillary's email she held on to them for years and bleach bit them and took hammers to cell phones just before Comey move in to get them. Same with the Lois Lerner Emails, months after the computer hard drives were requested they were destroyed before Comey got his hands on them. Just how much info does anyone believe is still around that proves corruption of the Clinton Foundation?
It is like Comey plays by the Obama playbook warning the enemy you are coming for them for months then pretend you are surprised they destroyed evidence that would prove they broke the law. You can bet the Obama loyalists that are leaking info are still on the job hiding the evidence that will point the finger at who unmasked Flynn's name. Comey is the reason nobody will be held accountable as how do you let Hillary walk on mishandling and destroying thousands of pieces of evidence and then charge Flynn for forgetting to tell Trump he talked to Russia about Sanctions? Hell how do you charge anyone for anything after you let Hillary walk?

Will the Republicans bring out the Hillary campaign people that were also talking and taking money from Russia? The Dems are painting Trump as Corrupt due to people in his campaign talking to Russia which they had legal right to. Flynn might be under investigation for his actions as he took money and didn't disclose it but shouldn't Podesta and Bill also be as they took money from Russia?

Comey can not be trusted but sad thing is if Trump fires him now it will look like he has something to hide. Pressure has to be put on Comey to recuse himself from the investigation as he tainted himself with the way he did his job under Obama.

F.B.I. Is Investigating Trump's Russia Ties, Comey Confirms
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/20/us/politics/fbi-investigation-trump-russia-comey.html?_r=0

:roll:


Mr. Comey told lawmakers that the investigation began in July, but he conceded that he had only “recently” briefed congressional leaders on the existence of the F.B.I. investigation. Asked why he had waited so long, he said, “Because of the sensitivity of the matter.”

The question might be who was informed? and when..

oh wait.. that was already reported (and leaked)
The case that Russia interfered in the presidential campaign has been made — the U.S. intelligence community laid out an unclassified version in December and then-President Barack Obama responded by expelling a group of Russian spies and sanctioning some of its key officials.

Then there is this "evidence" that was reported some time back
The New York Times referred to Manafort in a story in February about U.S. intelligence officials documenting many alleged connections between the Trump camp and the Russians.

"WASHINGTON — Phone records and intercepted calls show that members of Donald J. Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign and other Trump associates had repeated contacts with senior Russian intelligence officials in the year before the election, according to four current and former American officials. The intelligence agencies then sought to learn whether the Trump campaign was colluding with the Russians on the hacking or other efforts to influence the election.

The officials interviewed in recent weeks said that, so far, they had seen no evidence of such cooperation.

"The officials said the intercepted communications were not limited to Trump campaign officials, and included other associates of Mr. Trump."

yep those folk at the Times sure reported alot about Trump being spied upon.. but somehow Trump has no evidence if he cites them as his source... :roll:

The call logs and intercepted communications are part of a larger trove of information that the F.B.I. is sifting through as it investigates the links between Mr. Trump’s associates and the Russian government.

According to federal law enforcement officials. As part of its inquiry, the F.B.I. has obtained banking and travel records and conducted interviews, the officials said.

nope, no warrant required for that I assume... :? :shock:



then the Times reported this..
The National Security Agency, which monitors the communications of foreign intelligence services, initially captured the calls between Mr. Trump’s associates and the Russians as part of routine foreign surveillance. After that, the F.B.I. asked the N.S.A. to collect as much information as possible about the Russian operatives on the phone calls, and to search through troves of previous intercepted communications that had not been analyzed.

The F.B.I. has closely examined at least three other people close to Mr. Trump, although it is unclear if their calls were intercepted.

Why ask if you were NOT investigating,.. oops, oh, you were investigating the Trump campaign.. sorry about that, my bad.. I thought they said they were not wiretapping Trump.. Just not like the liberals understand the term.

wouldn't "captured the calls", and "search the troves" be about the same? or is an actual old school bug required for liberals to admit Trump was wiretapped?

BTW is an actual old school bug (insect or old VW ) required to make the liberals believe a wiretap type surveillance existed? (sarcasm).

New York Times online headlines

Comey’s testimony was the first public acknowledgment of FBI's investigation into Trump campaign's ties to Russia

SURPRISE FBI is investigating Trump Russian links, I'm pretty sure Harry Reid let that cat out of the bag when he demanded Comey comment on it when Comey reported on finding an additional 650,000 Hillary emails on a perverts laptop last fall. Clapper also let that cat out of the bag when he was all over the news saying the DNI, CIA, FBI, and NSA found no evidence of Collusion between Russia and Trump campaign.
But what was not a surprise is the fact Little was said about NO EVIDENCE to prove collusion. Did not read all of article but I'm sure about the 20th or maybe 30th paragragh they would have got around to mentioning it.

Not a word about the Comey and Rogers saying they have no evidence to prove the wiretapping claims the NYT was reporting on for months' that Trump tweeted about either. In fact Comey said he reads a lot of stuff in the media that is wrong i.e. FAKE NEWS but would not comment on just what he had read that he knew was a lie. Willing to bet the New York Times editors were hoping Comey would not comment on their stories and prove Trump is right about them being FAKE NEWS.

I do not trust Comey as far as I can through him but I do believe if Clapper, Brennen, Lynch or Yates had something to damage Trump they would have already got it out there for the world to see not to mention the Obama loyal holdovers would have leaked it by now. Every time a Congressman comes out of a briefing and tells the media they have seen NOTHING and Schiff comes out saying he hasn't seen anything "YET" after 8 months of investigation, you can see how disparate the Dems are getting to push their narrative. Question is just how long will Comey continue to investigate Russia Trump Link before he has to admit the Dems narrative is a bunch of hog wash dreamt up by Hillary, Podesta,& Obama to avoid taking the blame for their destroying of the Democrat party?

Nunes and Gowdy better keep this investigation on the real topic of who is committing a felony by releasing US citizens names that are to be protected as I'm sure Schiff and the rest of the Dems will not be questioning anyone on anything but their Russia link bullcrap story.

Rep. Gowdy: Leaks are deleterious to our national security

A key Republican lawmaker pressed hard Monday against the FBI director to name the chief suspects in the leaks of classified intelligence, but the G-man did not budge.

Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., grilled FBI boss James Comey in a dogged bid to determine specifically who could have told the press former National Security Adviser Mike Flynn turned up on surveillance audio, a development that led to his firing.

In a tense exchange, Gowdy, himself a former federal prosecutor, ticked off what sounded like his own short list of suspects. He asked which of former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, former CIA Director John Brennan, Obama, Attorney General Loretta Lynch and ex-White House adviser Ben Rhodes could have known Flynn was caught on tape conferring with the Russian ambassador.

Comey acknowledged all but Rhodes were privy to the information
, the disclosing of which is a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison. Comey said he did not know if Rhodes had access to such information.

Gowdy said the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act is in place to protect national security and allows spying on certain foreign agents. Rules state that if an American with Constitutional protections is collaterally caught in such surveillance, his or her identity must be protected.

The fact the Flynn was caught on tape was reported by the Washington Post last year, citing "senior administration officials." But Comey would not say if the FBI is investigating the apparent leak.

Seems like he had it narrowed down and made Comey real uncomfortable.. my bet would be on Rhodes being the leaker given the list.
