SilvosForever 06/07/17 3:00:13 PM #1:	Posted on the Senate Intelligence Committee's official site: https://www.intelligence.senate.gov/sites/default/files/documents/os-jcomey-060817.pdf Chairman Burr, Ranking Member Warner, Members of the Committee. Thank you for inviting me to appear before you today. I was asked to testify today to describe for you my interactions with President-Elect and President Trump on subjects that I understand are of interest to you. I have not included every detail from my conversations with the President, but, to the best of my recollection, I have tried to include information that may be relevant to the Committee. I felt compelled to document my first conversation with the President-Elect in a memo. To ensure accuracy, I began to type it on a laptop in an FBI vehicle outside Trump Tower the moment I walked out of the meeting. Creating written records immediately after one-on-one conversations with Mr. Trump was my practice from that point forward. This had not been my practice in the past. I spoke alone with President Obama twice in person (and never on the phone) – once in 2015 to discuss law enforcement policy issues and a second time, briefly, for him to say goodbye in late 2016. In neither of those circumstances did I memorialize the discussions. I can recall nine one-on-one conversations with President Trump in four months – three in person and six on the phone. My instincts told me that the one-on-one setting, and the pretense that this was our first discussion about my position, meant the dinner was, at least in part, an effort to have me ask for my job and create some sort of patronage relationship. That concerned me greatly, given the FBI’s traditionally independent status in the executive branch. I replied that I loved my work and intended to stay and serve out my tenyear term as Director. And then, because the set-up made me uneasy, I added that I was not “reliable” in the way politicians use that word, but he could always count on me to tell him the truth. I added that I was not on anybody’s side politically and could not be counted on in the traditional political sense, a stance I said was in his best interest as the President. A few moments later, the President said, “I need loyalty, I expect loyalty.” I didn’t move, speak, or change my facial expression in any way during the awkward silence that followed. We simply looked at each other in silence. The conversation then moved on, but he returned to the subject near the end of our dinner. :) Nah nah nah nah. Nah nah nah nah. Heeeyyy heeyyy heyyy.

Antifar 06/07/17 3:10:31 PM #12:	On the morning of March 30, the President called me at the FBI. He described the Russia investigation as “a cloud” that was impairing his ability to act on behalf of the country. He said he had nothing to do with Russia, had not been involved with hookers in Russia, and had always assumed he was being recorded when in Russia. He asked what we could do to “lift the cloud.” I responded that we were investigating the matter as quickly as we could, and that there would be great benefit, if we didn’t find anything, to our having done the work well. He agreed, but then re-emphasized the problems this was causing him. Pee tape e e t a p e --- an aspirin the size of the sun. <cite>Antifar posted [p:880601570] in James Come...

Vertania 06/07/17 3:30:22 PM #26:	TC conveniently left out the last part of the dinner section: Near the end of our dinner, the President returned to the subject of my job, saying he was very glad I wanted to stay, adding that he had heard great things about me from Jim Mattis, Jeff Sessions, and many others. He then said, “I need loyalty.” I replied, “You will always get honesty from me.” He paused and then said, “That’s what I want, honest loyalty.” I paused, and then said, “You will get that from me.” As I wrote in the memo I created immediately after the dinner, it is possible we understood the phrase “honest loyalty” differently, but I decided it wouldn’t be productive to push it further. The term – honest loyalty – had helped end a very awkward conversation and my explanations had made clear what he should expect. It's not cut-and-dry proof that Trump wanted Comey to illegally cover something up. <cite>Vertania posted [p:880602790] in James Come...

Ammonitida 06/07/17 5:18:56 PM #48:	youngfossil posted... people hyped up this thing... Nothing will be said of any significance until the investigation is done Yep. He even wanted the obviously fabricated pissgate allegations investigated. That's hardly "obstruction". His only "crime" was wanting the FBI to inform the public that no evidence of such collusion existed, so that this cloud wouldn't hang over his head (and so those nasty trolls that infest his twiiter account would stop accusing him of "treason"). When Comey failed do this, Trump fired him. Not the best move, but not "obstruction" either. He knew the investigation had to go on, as he stated in that interview. Comey will also back Trump up on his claim that Comey told him three separate times that he was not under investigation. That's interesting because sources for the NYT (or was it the Washpost?) claimed that Trump was lying about that. Turns out, they were lying. --- Russian Agent http://img.4plebs.org/boards/pol/image/1477/86/1477860281404.jpg <cite>Ammonitida posted [p:880609181] in James Come...
