Huh?
I’d think it would be preferable to have them in the room, so if there’s no benefit to it maybe it wasn’t a lie at all. What you referring to, her testimony or 302?
Yates' testimony to the special council. When she stated that she was shocked Obama knew about the Flynn Kislyak call before she did.
I think this is in the Yates 302, not the report.
Not to get too far into the weeds on this, but I thought the FBI field office in NY more or less forced his hand with the Weiner laptop.
It says "Obama dismissed the group and asked Yates and Comey to stay". No mention of Rice or Biden. Why doesnt Yates mention those two?
That's not the question. The claim you made was that Yates was surprised that Obama had learned of the info before her. That's different from the issue of her being surprised by the info. The former suggests something having been hidden from her or some normal process having been circumvented. That's someone else's supposition you picked up somewhere else.
Reading on I see your point now. However having more people present is beneficial. And Obama keeping 1, 2, 3, 4, people there, from security, legal and administration, is a good thing. My guess is Yates was doing the interview from the POV of the DOJ, which would be her and Comey. It's hard to think of a less nefarious cauldron stirrer than Joe Biden, sorry.
No it isn't. That's what Obama officials said in sworn testimony. That they didn't know of any evidence suggesting Trump was a Russian agent.
And now they hang their hats on perjury and obstruction. Without evidence of collusion those are empty charges made simply to save face.
That women has sued Halper, and several MSM outlets for reporting that non-existent "affair".
Not empty at all...there was plenty of evidence of crimes in the report...to just focus on proving an all out collusion is short sighted (especially when you fail to understand how obstruction works...how things work when documents aren't provided and people refuse to testify).
A. It wasn't a month later. About half that, right?
hard to respect people who believed in the conspiracy theory in the first place.
Cool...so its an opinion that she was asked to blame someone else. Just clarifying here.
It was all "Collusion! Collussion! Collusion!"
I disagree on your framing that it was all collusion collusion collusion...to the point that there were many discussions on what collusion even meant.
The meeting at Trump tower itself is evidence of possible Trump collusion. What are you talking about?
So sound like your coming over to our side. Good for you.
It's my assessment of the situation yes. I also think in the next 6 months democratics will absolutely be blaming Comey for anything not done "by the book" that comes out. Probably point to the Rice email as evidence.
In the next 6 months I think this continues to fade away...maybe a ramp up around election time because it is what Trump has to have to paint Biden as bad and corrupt. In the end...it will be a flash in the pan and quite literally a nothing burger.
Biden has his own corruption issues to worry about. This is more about how the FBI was operating during the election and transition.
A unprecedented attempt by Obama to destroy democracy and undermine the incoming Trump administration where zero charges will be brought against Obama because there is no proof. OBAMAGATE!
Followed by the "Russia, if you are listening"
A trump appointee made numerous calls to a Russian contemporary shortly after Trump's election but did so without Trump's knowledge or consent which then further heightened suspicions of our intelligence community of possible collusion of members of the trump campaign with Russian government agencies or individuals which led to a continued probe into the afore mentioned appointee. This probe was brought to the still sitting presidents(Obama) attention and a number of the sitting presidents admin made a decision to look further into the actions of the appointee but were instructed to do everything by the book so as to not jeopardize the incoming admin unnecessarily. Now we have an email from on Obama admin which details the by the book approach and the trump supporters are agog at the attempt at transparency by govt officials and believe the only reason a govt admin would be so forthright is because they are hiding something.
This whole Obamagate thing has been pushed as a way to discredit Biden...that is plain as day.
Where is Biden even mentioned in this outside of being a footnote on Rice's email and on the unmasking list?
LOl, is Biden a corrupt mastermind in the middle of international intrigue, or a mere bumbling footnote?
Do you honestly believe this push against Obama has zero to do with Biden being the candidate against Trump?
Mmm, might wanna wait til Biden is elected as our collective vigilance against further flim flam will help tamp down DT Barnum's attempt to sell his policy steaks to those hungry for what he's selling. Til then , keep your eyes open and Vote Biden November 3!!
