The prepared written testimony that former FBI Director James Comey is set to deliver on Thursday morning vindicates President Donald Trump’s claim that he was told three times that he was not under investigation.
At the same time, the Comey testimony refutes reports by CNN and other outlets that Comey would dispute that claim.
When Trump fired Comey, he wrote: “While I greatly appreciate you informing me, on three separate occasions, that I am not under investigation, I nevertheless concur with the judgment of the Department of Justice that you are not able to effectively lead the Bureau.”

As Zero Hedge noted Wednesday, CNN reported on Tuesday that Comey was “expected to refute Trump.” Citing an anonymous source, CNN reported that “Comey is expected to explain to senators that those were much more nuanced conversations from which Trump concluded that he was not under investigation.” Zero Hedge adds that CNN’s chief political analyst Gloria Borger, said: “Comey is going to dispute the president on this point if he’s asked about it by senators, and we have to assume that he will be. He will say he never assured Donald Trump that he was not under investigation, that that would have been improper for him to do so.”
However, Comey acknowledges in his prepared testimony that he did, in fact, tell Trump three times that he was not under investigation: once in a meeting at Trump Tower on January 6; a second time during a dinner on January 27 (which CNN says was “more nuanced”); and a third time during a telephone conversation on March 30. On a fourth occasion, in a phone call on April 11, the president said that he was not under investigation, and was not corrected.

CNN has now added a correction to the top of its story:

CORRECTION AND UPDATE: This article was published before Comey released his prepared opening statement. The article and headline have been corrected to reflect that Comey does not directly dispute that Trump was told multiple times he was not under investigation in his prepared testimony released after this story was published.

James Comey Testimony Proves Trump Right, CNN Wrong




When Trump fired Comey, he wrote: “While I greatly appreciate you informing me, on three separate occasions, that I am not under investigation, I nevertheless concur with the judgment of the Department of Justice that you are not able to effectively lead the Bureau.”



However, Comey acknowledges in his prepared testimony that he did, in fact, tell Trump three times that he was not under investigation: once in a meeting at Trump Tower on January 6; a second time during a dinner on January 27 (which CNN says was “more nuanced”); and a third time during a telephone conversation on March 30. On a fourth occasion, in a phone call on April 11, the president said that he was not under investigation, and was not corrected.

CNN has now added a correction to the top of its story:



Corey’s written testimony contradicts Trump’s account of events in one respect — namely, that Trump asked Comey for his “loyalty.” However, Comey’s prepared remarks add a new revelation, which is that Comey agreed to provide “honest loyalty.” He speculates that it is possible that he had a different understanding of that phrase than the president did.

this is very wrong, Trump will never call BBC fake news, because BBC is not an American media, if he says MSM a.k.a main stream media, he means CNN, NBC, CBS etc
I like that part where Marco Rubio asked him;
“Ever wonder why of all the things in this investigation, the only thing that’s never been leaked is the fact that the president was not personally under investigation despite the fact that that both Democrats and Republicans in the leadership of Congress knew that and have known that for weeks”

I don't give a fvck about Hillary. I have never supported her and I am happy not to see the Clinton clan that much on the TV anymore.
I do understand why you have to bring Hillary up to distract from Trump's hideous activities though. Comey's testimony was not good for Trump at all so stop deceiving yourself with alternative facts.

He said that after his attack on CNN. Another beauty means another beauty like CNN. Don't act so naive.
I wonder why he has never called the Murdoch media fake news. The same media that supported Bush's Iraq War and his lies that Saddam had weapons of mass destruction, which have not been found till the present day.

Obama has never released his birth certificate because it is sealed, now ask yourself why will Obama do that, does he have something to hide?
2. Trump didn't say he has any tapes on comey but suggested that he hope the tapes doesn't come out suggesting that comey must have taped him during their conversation.
3. Congress still has to vote to fund the wall but Congress didn't despite trump signing an executive order.

he said his trademark as president is to repeal Obamacare

In 2008, in response to media inquiries, the President’s campaign requested his birth certificate from the state of Hawaii. The state sent the campaign the President’s birth certificate, the same legal documentation provided to all Hawaiians as proof of birth in state, and the campaign immediately posted it on the internet. That birth certificate can be seen here (PDF).

There are laws that the rich uses to make sure they don't pay taxes and this is legal, considering that the rich sponsors such laws in the Senate including Nigeria, poor people don't sponsor bills in the Senate. you need to be rich to understand this one.

2. The US Constitution does not require that a presidential candidate declares his taxes before entering office but other president might do it. so Trump has the right not to show you his taxes.
if you don't like it, then get angry, that's all you'll ever do.
