Trump just fired Comey!

[Doc Savage Fan]

Yeah. And there is 'Fake News", who da thunk it?

Yesterday it was reported that Comey had asked the DoJ for more funds. Well, that was all BS.

The DoJ came out yesterday and denied it. Now the new (acting) FBI Director is also denying it:


http://www.foxnews.com/politics/201...linton-angered-some-agents-defends-comey.html or http://www.cnn.com/2017/05/11/polit...ring-senate-intelligence-committee/index.html

(The two articles cover the same subject, the testimony of the new Director. Check the different headlines. Somebody is slanting. Also note that the CNN link omitted this quote from McCabe "“I think morale's always been good, but there were folks within our agency that were frustrated with the outcome of the Hillary Clinton case and some of those folks were very vocal about those concerns,” McCabe testified.". Why would that quote be omitted?)

The MSM reporting is absolute horseshit using one or two unnamed sources to make HUGE accusations. The echo chamber is deafening. The world is on fire.

May I draw your attention to my post just above.

i didn't make any claims, i was asking someone else very specific questions.

Yeah, it's probably best if they follow the lead of the right and simply use no sources and make shit up because it feels right. I mean those are the kinds of sources you frequently link to so they must be doing something right in your book.

Rosenstein has now explicitly stated that he didn't threaten to quit. Dude, you're the insane one here and fucking twisted as hell.

http://wjla.com/news/nation-world/d...ting-didnt-threaten-to-quit-over-comey-firing
Deputy AG Rosenstein: 'I'm not quitting,' didn't threaten to quit over Comey firing

The MSM has lost it's mind. Misleading headlines, omitting important quotes if they don't fit with the author's spin, straight up false stories etc.

like the unnamed sources that exposed Flynn?

if it were not for them, he would likely still be the National Security Advisor.

I mean the slanting there is pretty obvious, isn't it?

This is what the Trump Administration said about Comey's relationship with the rank and file of the FBI:

http://www.cnn.com/2017/05/11/politics/comey-mccabe-testimony/

"The President, over the last several months, lost confidence in Director Comey," she said at the daily press briefing. "The DOJ lost confidence in Director Comey. Bipartisan members of Congress made it clear that they had lost confidence in Director Comey. And, most importantly, the rank-and-file of the FBI had lost confidence in their director."

McCabe was asked about this specifically and his response was 'No sir, that is not accurate.' There's no ambiguity there, he was asked if what the administration said was true and his answer was 'no'.

I am frankly baffled that anyone would even question who was shading something that unequivocal.

 

[LPCTech]

Guys all media sources other than fox and breitbart and infowars and whatever rag they are disinformed by are lying guys.

The whole world is wrong and only heavily conservative American news can ever be correct. (sadly never is)

But if a news source says anything negative about a republican its fake. Even if it wasnt before, it becomes instantly fake and null the moment they disparage any republican or republican idea or defend any liberal or any liberal idea.

Plus what do republicans say when cops want to search someone? If you have nothing to hide, why refuse a search?

So if there is nothing to hide why refuse investigation that will exonerate you? (cuz guilty)

Hillary went along with all the investigations. And all those republicans couldnt find a single thing to prosecute.

Where them tax returns at? FEAR

 

[Doc Savage Fan]

when it was first exposed that Russia hacked the DNC, you labeled that as conspiracy. we now know that is a fact, are you able to admit that you were wrong on this issue from the beginning?

i have no doubt i could find consistent similar examples relating to Flynn, Manafort, Page, Stone, etc.

it seems you are clearly the one "upside down" on this issue.

https://forums.anandtech.com/thread...ect-donald-trump.2481207/page-4#post-38382712

I ridiculed those who thought Republicans conspired with the Russians to hack the DNC. And it's not a fact as you've stated. Sniffing a little too much glue lately?

 

[Fern]

Also shredding the Administrations cred on this issue is that McCabe (thanks MOS) testified that Comey was well liked and respected, directly opposite of the WH's claim. This looks so bad it's incredible. Can we exhume Nixon and put him in the Big Chair? I'd like that better.

Depends which article you read. I quoted McCabe in a post above where he admitted that there was some discontent by some who were in the FBI.

There have been numerous reports of unhappiness with the ranks. Retired Asst Directors etc have all publicly spoken about it. Kallstrom comes to mind.

In Fern world when McCabe says in response to the administration's claim 'No sir, that is not accurate' apparently that means 'it depends'.

The conservative world has lost all touch with reality.

Russian hacked the DNC
Russia released the hacks to Wikileaks
Trump praised Wikileaks
Trump asked Putin to release more hacked e-mails

that doesn't change the fact that you ridiculed the basic idea that Russia hacked our electorate from the beginning.

insinuate i sniff glue if you like, but i mean really?

do i get a "dropped on your head when you were a baby" next?

grow up and stock being a lying hack.

 

[Fanatical Meat]

Doc & Fern this isn't a trap lets ignore all the Russia & Flynn talk. Can you guys honestly say if Hillary was in office and charging 200k a head club memberships you wouldn't blink an eye or question it as selling access to the President? Keep in mind since Trump was elected the cost of his inner club membership has gone from either slightly over or slightly under 100k to today's 200k (approximate)
It's alright to like Trump & what he's for in regards to my question. I'm just wondering what you would think if it was Hillary collecting the membership fees. Let's not divert and stay on this topic any opinion is yours

It would be hard to imagine that some people in a huge organization weren't happy. That said I didn't rely on an article, I watched and listened to his testimony live and he was unambiguous. There was no doubt left. You might want to find it yourself and see.

 

[mect]

Holy crap listen to this.

Looks like Spicer taught her well.

"Director Comey enjoyed broad support within the FBI and still does to this day," McCabe said, saying he holds Comey in the "absolute highest regard."

Wow...just wow. I NEVER denied or ridiculed the idea that Russia hacked the DNC or Podesta. NEVER. I ridiculed the conspiracy theory that the Republicans somehow colluded with the Russians to do so. You can't be that fucking stupid can you?

Google "Comey denied FBI resources" and "Comey threatened to quit" and then tell us with a straight face (knowing the actual facts) that MSM has been balanced, objective and credible in this matter. The echo chamber is deafening.

searching "Comey threatened to quit" brings up NY Post and Fox News, two sources considered right leaning.

congrats on a complete fail of a post though.

Was it reported yesterday that Comey requested more funds of the DoJ? Was it, or wasn't it? And if it was, was it true and accurate? (The answer is of course no. It was false.)

Has it been reported that Rosenstein (sp?) threatened to quit? Has he denied it? Was the media article/claim straight up false?

Was CNN's headline about McCabe denying any morale problems in the FBI? Did McCabe acknowledge dissatisfaction in FBI in his testimony? (yes). Did CNN omit that quote? If so, why? It certainly is relevant to the headline CC went with.

(Just noticed CNN edited/changed their title on the article. Literally about 5 min ago.)

Edit: Oops. Correct name for new director.

He straight up said 'No, that is not accurate' when asked about it. The idea that all 35,000 employees in the FBI would be happy about anyone in charge is absurd and you know it.

If you can't even recognize that conservative media is manipulating you when it comes to something this obvious I don't know what to say. This is why conservative media has such contempt for you, they know you'll believe anything.

I assume you mean 'McCabe' and yes the MSM has been balanced, objective, and credible. They have always explicitly stated that these events are based on anonymous sources and have also published the administration's denials of these accusations. If some of those accusations later turn out to be false then those papers know not to rely on those sources in the future and as usual they will update their reporting accordingly.

Your mention of an echo chamber is spot on though, it's just that it involves you. As usual you've totally ignored the fact that the administration has been caught repeatedly lying about Comey's firing but are instead outraged about whether or not someone else threatened to quit.

The president's administration straight up lied to you about why he fired someone who is investigating the administration for possible collusion with a hostile foreign power. You know, like, basically treason. Do you care about that? No. You're focused on how mad you are about whether or not a source was right about what was said in a meeting. That is loony tunes.
