Showing Original Post only (View all)Rachel's interview with Comey was like a trial scene from an old black and white movie.... [View all]
It started on a light note and turned very serious as Rachel began her questioning.
Comey's demeanor turned cautious as Rachel's questioning became more pointed and direct.
By historical coincidence, Comey's memos were released to the AP just minutes before Rachel came on the air. The House Intel Committee, led by Devin Nunes, had demanded that Rod Rosenstein release the documents to their Committee or face possible impeachment and dismissal from his job as Deputy Attorney General. Rosenstein relented. Soon thereafter, the same memos were released to the press.
There were several times that we were surprised by the information we heard. What was the timeline for when Putin told Trump that Russia had the most beautiful "hookers"? What was the relationship between Comey and Loretta Lynch? What happened to the investigation that he began of the Southern New York District of the FBI? What information did Flynn receive after the White House was told he may be compromised by the Russians? What was really the role of Reince Preibus? Andrew McCabe had the "authority" to release information to the press? Why was Donald Trump obsessed with the story about the Moscow hookers?
With all his flaws, Comey still came cross as an honest and truthful person. He was consistently credible. His memos, in no way, helped Donald Trump or his supporters, although they will spin it to fit their narrative. It was fascinating television.
