James Comey testimony: Date, time and how to watch Trump hearing on TV and online

[Etselion]

So, judging by the lack of people calling for Trump's impeachment, I'm going to go ahead and assume that the Comey testimony wasn't the revelation Trump-impeachers were looking for.

Thats up to Mueller. Comey made it pretty clear.

This is far from over.

[draynay]

Is senility contagious? Suddenly got a thread full of McCains.

Do the E-mails fall under the scope of Russian interference? Yes

Is Hilary personally culpable? No, the investigation in to that matter was closed.

That's the whole story people, whats so confusing?

[Ripster42]

I am playing catch up, are the piss tapes real then?

There was nothing about it said during the hearing as far as I heard. Think they were just joking.

Well nobody expected from comey to show a video where he was tortured by trump in a underground basement.

The testimony was as expected : it's a whole "he said, he said" except that Comey confirmed what we already suspected on its firing and even call Trump a liar under oath which is in the US a very big deal.

I just rewatched recently "All the President's Men" which is more close to a documentary than a political thriller when it comes to realism. nobody expect giant evidence signed by whoever is responsible. No it is about fact, and going one person after another to understand the full scope and not fall in easy trap or conspiracy theories, it is a long term thing and all the stuff about Comey is just a part of it not the whole investigation.

[Ripster42]

Except he didn't say that Clinton's campaign are still in the scope of the investigation. You're doing the literal exact same nonsense that McCain is doing. Conflating two entirely separate issues.

Hillary's campaign isn't a focus because that makes no fucking sense rofl. And have no actual evidence to support there COULD be something there.

You're basically just barfing out word salad like McCain. Conflating two separate issues and drawing ridiculous comparisons. Clearly you don't understand the issue or are purposefully trying to muddle the topic.

From what I can tell, @schwarzkopf is saying clinton's emails are still an issue, not because of their content, but because russia hacked them. Correct me if I'm wrong.

The only way these two topics are related:

Do the E-mails fall under the scope of Russian interference? Yes

Is Hilary personally culpable? No, the investigation in to that matter was closed.

This sudden idea of, "OH YEAH WELL WHAT ABOUT HILLARY AND HER EMAILS!" is just another smokescreen to obfuscate the issue again.

I don't know how many times I have to explain it on this forum. The phrase "high crimes and misdemeanors" doesn't require anything more than incompetence. In the articles of impeachment passed through the house judiciary committee for nixon, article 2 section 4 essentially said either he's guilty or incompetent, and either one is enough.

And we don't know how many more times we'll have to explain it to people like you. To actually move forward you realistically need something to point towards as the deciding factor. For Nixon, it was obstruction of justice.

You're talking about the legal fine points, such as they are. We're talking about the realities of a President's own party moving forward with Articles of Impeachment. It will take much more than "incompetence" to do that.

but, but its unfair to trump! Everyone should be investigated at the same time damnit, not just trump team! Investigate every team. Hell investigate hockey teams while at it.

Wait, but Russians hacked Clinton campaign... how could it not be in the scope of investigation? :/

No, the Clinton emails and the campaign interference are two completely different topics. Unless you're talking about the Podesta emails, which were not part of this discussion.

[cubby]

And put the claims on the Congressional record, not just in the media as a news report.

Once again, Trump's worst days when it comes to Trump-Russia are head of him, not behind him.

This is what most Trumpers do not understand. It will only get worse for Trump and any delusional backers he might have.

Yes. Please go me. Please let your defense be as insulting as Ryans.

His personal lawyer?

Oh god, I need to find some popcorn NOW.

you rang????

Between Paul Ryan's laughable response and McCain having a mental breakdown at the very end, its so fucking mindblowing that this is the party that once spawned McCarthy and abused anti-Russian sentiments, such as calling opponents communists, to pander to their base only a few decades ago.

[Bullettime]

Oh god, I need to find some popcorn NOW.

Which is going to be even better because his personal lawyer is implicated in the whole ordeal too. Let's see what lengths they'll go to spin this.

Incompetence is the best case scenario at this point. We'll have to see what's going on with Sessions, Kushner and Flynn behind the scenes but Comey's testimony should lead to further investigation.

I really need to find video of the McCain bit, reading all the hot takes on it makes it sound quite wild.

They can spin all they want Trump will blow up the whole thing on twitter or an interview soon enough.

The lawyer that has defended numerous Russian clients, is also under investigation, and is as in bed with Russia as Trump is.

[Etselion]

There was nothing about it said during the hearing as far as I heard. Think they were just joking.

Comey said he couldn't talk about it in a public hearing (referring to the Steel dossier).

So, maybe there's a pee tape ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
