Courageous or cowardly? Hero or Bum? Liar or Story Teller? Winner or Loser?Patriot or Conniver? What’s your assessment?Write a comment to let me and everyone else know your thoughts. Enquiring minds want to know.
Who is more corrupt? James or Peter? Oh, didn’t you know he has an equally duplicitous brother who is deeply involved in swindling the American public. No, you didn’t. You thought James was just a tall guy who got caught up in politics.
Which Side are You On?
Republicans, Democrats, everyone in between and on the fringes, have an opinion and there appears to be multiple sides to this debate. America is picking and choosing when to call Comey a liar and when to praise him for his honesty. Truthfulness now depends on ideology as all sides are surrounding this issue. It depends on whom you ask, and when you ask them. Don’t be surprised if the politicians and the Shady Stream Media do multiple Comey flip-flops.
Consider Sen. Chuck Schumer, the Democratic minority leader. Asked if President Trump could be guilty of obstruction of justice, he cited Comey’s testimony that the president pulled him aside at an Oval Office meeting the day after he fired his national security adviser and suggested that “we drop any investigation of former national security adviser Michael Flynn in connection with false statements about his conversations with the Russian ambassador in December.”
But when CBS “Face the Nation” host John Dickerson asked Schumer about Comey’s other sworn testimony that day — suggesting former President Barack Obama’s attorney general, Loretta Lynch, politically interfered in Comey’s investigation into Hillary Clinton’s mishandling of classified information — Schumer was suddenly dismissive.
