You clearly are living in some alternate reality. You clearly read my post and chose to ignore the majority of it. Do you just ignore the things that you find too upsetting to think about? Does it just bounce off your bubble? I'm really trying to understand how minds like yours work.

Let me try again and see if it enters your bubble.
These are the questions and his responses

Q: Did you threaten to quit over the Comey Fallout? Can you say why...
A: No, I'm not Quitting
Q: Did you threaten to Quit?
A: No

Please Explain his FIRST reply.
I'm sorry...I don't wear tin-foil hats.

Wow. And you did it again. You just ignored the post. This is absolutely crazy. It must be nice to just ignore the stuff that could potentially intrude on the fantasy you've built.
You're speculating using blinders by trying to pour esoteric meaning into the first question and answer which is immediately and completely dispelled by the second question and answer. There is nothing to see here except an incredibly pathetic attempt to validate the MSM lie by essentially calling Rosenstein the liar instead. If anyone is living in a fantasy world here...I'm afraid it's you.

Your knowledge of alternative facts doesn't make you special.

You guys are being too hard on Chiro and DSF. They are clearly biased in favor of Trump and are making some logic errors but mostly errors of appreciation of the implications of certain actions. Nonetheless, there is some validity to some of their points, e.g.:

1. Rosenstein did deny reports of threatening to quit. This denial may not be credible, but you can't fault DSF & Chiro for taking it at face value.

2. Some left-leaning media and left-leaning members of this forum did support termination of Comey while Obama was president and there was an active investigation of Clinton. There is some hypocrisy there in saying that Trump's firing of Comey was improper.
-Importantly, Obama did not fire Comey while he was investigating Clinton, so just because some Democrats wanted him to does not allow you to generalize this hypocrisy to all Democrats
-Additionally, while there would have been a similar conflict of interest in firing Comey under the Obama administration, by no means does that imply that the conflict of interest in Trump's firing of Comey now is equivalent​

So many brain dead trolls who can't even articulate a coherent argument...so little time.

Trump was supposed to visit the FBI today but that was cancelled.

sources are saying the White House was warned the reception he would receive would be bad, not that you care about unnamed sources.

Hey, remember how the Rosenstein letter ostensibly used handling of the Clinton case to justify Comey's firing, only for Trump to say in an on-the-record NBC interview that it was really about trying to stop the Russia investigation? How he not only proved that it was a lie, but appears to have admitted to obstruction of justice? Good times.

Comey was taken aback by Trump request for loyalty pledge

Holy **** Impeach him already!

Democrats aren't upset that Trump fired Comey. They're upset that Trump provided such a transparently dishonest reason for why he fired Comey.
Those two things are clearly different, but Republicans keep focusing on the former so that they can ignore the latter.

See my post above. You're arguing the bullshit narrative that's been spoonfed to you. And guess what? No one is falling for it except for you and the rest of the loyal Trump army.
Try again. Your post above has NOTHING to do with my point. NOTHING.

Trey Gowdy and John Cornyn? Yeah just threw up in my mouth a little.

Garcia is interesting...he gave Russia a pass in the FIFA investigation.
