What's It All About, Comey? Comey Says Neither Trump, Nor Anyone In His Administration, Asked Him To Stop Russia Investigation, Also Admits He Leaked Info Because He Wanted Special Counsel To Investigate

I'm Just Really, Really Angry Right Now, Ok?

Investigate WHAT?

I don't get it.

Could someone please enlighten me? Am I missing something?

From The Hill:
Shortly after his dismissal as head of the FBI, James Comey authorized “a close friend” to leak the contents of his memos to the press in order to prompt a special counsel investigation. 
The memo, written contemporaneously, documented Comey’s Oval Office meeting with President Trump during which the president allegedly asked him to drop the investigation into former national security adviser Michael Flynn. 
“I asked a friend of mine to share the content of the memo with a reporter,” Comey told the Senate Intelligence Committee on Thursday. 
“I didn’t do it myself for a variety of reasons but I asked him to because I thought that might prompt the appointment of a special counsel.”
From the Daily Caller:
Former FBI Director James Comey testified before a Senate committee Thursday that President Donald Trump never asked him to end the investigation into Russian election interference. 
North Carolina Sen. Richard Burr, the Republican chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, asked Comey, “Did the president at any time ask you to stop the FBI investigation into Russian involvement in the 2016 U.S. elections?” 
The former FBI director replied, “Not to my understanding, no.” 
Burr followed up by asking if any member of the administration made this request, and Comey replied, “no.”
And yesterday, Comey admitted that he had told Trump three times that Trump, personally, was not under investigation:

BREAKING: Fired FBI Director Comey Releases Statement – Assured Trump Three Times he Was Not Under Investigation 

Weasel Zippers speculates Comey was just being petty and manipulative, trying to get back at Trump for being fired:
He’s upset he was fired and how Trump is painting it so he leaks his memos to pump the media madness to get a special counsel. The one thing that wasn’t leaked? Rubio points it out: that Trump wasn’t actually under investigation.
Imagine being so petty and vindictive that you would drag the entire nation through hearings against the Executive Administration just because you were fired.

Imagine that.

What's it all about, Comey?

AND THEN THERE'S THIS:

UPDATE

MAYBE THEY ARE TRYING TO RUN OUT THE CLOCK ON THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS:

Comment by Niagara Frontier at TheConservativeTreehouse: "All the foot dragging by Comey had me research the statute of limitations for federal crimes. Under United States Code 18 Section 3282, the statute of limitations for most federal crimes is five years.

Hillary was Senator from 2001 – 2009. She was SoS from 1/21/2009 to 2/1/2013.

Hell, as of today, any crimes committed before June 2012 are already off limits. That’s almost her entire time as Senator and SoS. Somebody is trying to run out the clock on crimes related to the Clinton Foundation."

Is it all about mis-direction. . .running the clock on statute of limitations against all involved in Clinton/Obama/dem corruption scandals?

Even Sessions participated by recusing himself?

At least this makes some kind of sense.

Same here.

What the hell is going on?

I heard Rush Limbaugh say today (I heard only a few snippets and am not a regular Rush listener), "CNN is lying. Right now. On the air."

I heard Rush say this could be all about forever souring our elections so that nobody trusts the results of subsequent elections.

Never mind that there is no evidence that anyone hacked the election results.

Oh, yeah. I forgot. I was quite sick when all that "news" was released.

All this shit on Capitol Hill almost has to be running the clock out.

The Clinton Machine's tentacles extend everywhere. I doubt that we shall know the full extent of that machine in our lifetimes -- maybe 50 years from now the truth will come out.
