My email is chock full of summaries and commentaries. I’ll try to condense it down to the best few bits.
THE BIG PICTURE:Trump’s distrust of Comey was vindicated by what we now know about Comey.
Comey confirmed, again, that even as of his last day in office, Donald Trump was not personally the subject of FBI investigation, neither criminal nor counter-intelligence.
Despite media claims otherwise, this fact was not deemed worthy of public disclosure by Comey. IOW, he was happy to let Trump twist in the winds of misleading and false media claims.
Comey stated that a key New York Times report asserting Trump campaign collusion was substantively false.
Much of the Democrat and media frenzy over the past several months was based on this article.
Trump didn’t try to impede the Russia investigation.
In fact, he actually encouraged Comey to find out and expose whether any of Trump’s campaign “satellites” engaged in wrongdoing.
Comey arranged for a friend of his to leak a memo of his conversation with Trump about Michael Flynn to the NY Times.
That memo apparently has not even been given to the Senate Intelligence Committee.
The leaking of this memo may put Comey himself in legal jeopardy.
Comey admitted that then Attorney General Loretta Lynch pressured him to downplay the investigation of Hillary Clinton’s email server to assist Clinton’s election efforts.
Comey admitted that he succumbed to Lynch’s pressure.
This should result in both a re-opened investigation of Hillary’s server and also a new investigation of Lynch.
SUMMARY:The so-called “resistance” is based totally on lies. It is and always has been nothing more than an attempt to undermine Trump’s ability to govern. It and not Trump’s presidency are the true threat to our electoral and representative system.
The day is finally here. My little man and I are headed up north this morning. He stayed overnight last night and grandma taught him how to play her favorite game, Yahtzee. I was out on a local lake, an old stone quarry that was converted into a public park with my long-time fishing friend. They only allow kayaks, canoes and boats with electric trolling motors, so we could access areas shore fishermen couldn’t reach. After three hours sleep I’m off to deliver my papers and get ready for my adventure.
Unless you’ve been in Siberia and just got back this morning, you’re aware that the Jim Comey Show is on today. The networks are desperate to get something, anything, on Trump. After 10 months and counting, they refuse to accept there’s no “there” there. One network is pre-empting “All My Children” and the others are doing cut-ins. I remember when there were only 3 stations and Granny would be livid when they interrupted ‘her stories’ because the president was addressing the nation.
There are threads with the latest popping all over, so it makes no sense to post much until after all is said and done.
Here are two short clips of democrats hoping to get the goods on the president they loathe more than cancer:
Comey: No, Trump Didn’t Tell Me To Stop The Investigation
WATCH: James Comey Testify Loretta Lynch Told Him To Refer To Clinton Email Probe As “Matter Not Investigation”
THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION COMMITTED CRIMES DAILY AS PART OF NORMAL OPERATIONS
Comey Never Kept Detailed Memos on His Conversations With Obama Like He Did With Trump
Why didn’t Comey document his conversations with Obama? Comey continues to prove to the public that President Trump’s decision to fire him was the right thing to do. Comey is beyond corrupt.
It’s no surprise that a lawsuit was filed against Comey late Monday night by Dennis Montgomery alleging he provided overwhelming evidence to the FBI of illegal spying on Americans and they covered it up.
Comey Took Notes of Every Trump Meeting But Did Not Record Hillary’s 3 Hour Interrogation
The lack of a sworn oath does not remove the possibility of criminal penalties against Clinton if she lied to the FBI, though he said he had “no basis to conclude” that she was untruthful.
“Still a crime to lie to us,” Comey told the House Oversight Committee.
FBI policy is not to record interviews as part of its investigations.
Yet the revelations will nonetheless raise questions among Republicans, who have been skeptical of the FBI’s investigation and have demanded to see the transcript of the former Secretary of State’s interview in downtown Washington on Saturday.
Following Comey Testimony, Trump Tells Conservatives ‘We Are Under Siege’
The entrenched interests and failed bitter voices in Washington will do everything in their power to stop us from this righteous cause,” Trump continued on to say. “To stop all of you. They will lie, they will obstruct, they will spread their hatred and prejudice, but we will not back down from doing what is right.”
Hillcrest abortion facility in Harrisburg, PA, is FINALLY closed.This clinic has been cited for health violations FOUR TIMES in the past SIX YEARS!
It is absolutely SHAMEFUL thatit took a written complaintto the Secretary of the PA Department of Health, signedby several Pennsylvania state senators, before anything was done.
There is a lot going on in the state of world affairs, to be sure. Terrorists in London, the Comey hearings, the GA-6th debate, etc. While these may be important, they pale in comparison to an upcoming event Friday morning. I booked a guided fishing trip months ago with a friend, his son, and my R.J. I had no idea which lake we were going to and he won’t answer his cell phone. The old lady at the bait shop was of little help when I called, she only said: ‘Where do you want to go?’ Walworth County, Wisconsin, has numerous lakes and I assumed he would decide. Apparently not. I chose Lake Delavan and she gave me directions to one of the three boat launches on the lake. I’m getting a little obsessive, but I don’t want anything to go wrong since my grandson has looked forward to this for months. Fishing with him is one of the few real joys in my life anymore.
Now onto the crap.
DC Swamp Goes Crazy for James Comey Hearing
HE WILL ADROITLY TIPTOE AROUND THE FACTS TO AVOID INCRIMINATING HIMSELF. AT THE END OF THE DAY THE MEDIA, THIRSTING FOR BLOOD, WILL BE SORELY DISAPPOINTED.
The Washington establishment and media elite has gone into a full-blown craze over a Senate hearing on Thursday featuring fired FBI Director James Comey.
And while the media continued to hype the hearing, some began expressing worry the hearing would not live up to the hype.
The Senate Intelligence Committee hearing is slated to begin at 10 a.m. eastern and begin with opening statements from the chairman and vice chairman of the committee. Comey will then deliver an opening statement, and senators will have the opportunity to question Comey, with multiple rounds of questions expected. The hearing is expected to last hours. The closed hearing is scheduled at 1 p.m. eastern.
The situation between Mr. Sessions and Mr. Trump has grown so tense that the attorney general told Mr. Trump in recent weeks that he needed the freedom to do his job and that he could resign if that was what was wanted, according to the two people who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal White House matters. Mr. Trump did not take him up on the offer.
A spokesman for Mr. Sessions declined to comment. A White House spokeswoman did not respond to an email seeking comment.
SESSIONS OFFERED HIS RESIGNATION, TRUMP REFUSED IT. TRUMP IS RIGHT
Jeff Sessions Got Played by Democrats When He Recused Himself from Russian Witch Hunt
Sessions made the announcement in March that he would recuse himself from the Russian investigation — in an effort to appease liberal Democrats.
SESSIONS COULD COMMIT HARA KIRI ON THE SOUTH LAWN AND THE DEMOCRATS WOULD STILL BE UNHAPPY.
And the Russian conspiracy continues to make headlines in the liberal media day after day.
Trump is right to be angry.
ABC reported: “As the White House braces for former FBI Director James Comey’s testimony Thursday, sources tell ABC News the relationship between President Donald Trump and Attorney General Jeff Sessions has become so tense that Sessions at one point recently even suggested he could resign.
Trump’s anger over the recusal has not diminished with time. Two sources close to the president say he has lashed out repeatedly at the attorney general in private meetings, blaming the recusal for the expansion of the Russia investigation, now overseen by Special Counsel and former FBI Director Robert Mueller.
Spicer on Trump’s confidence in Sessions: I haven’t spoken to him about that.
Watch Jon Ossoff Lose The Entire Special Election Debate In Less Than Four Minutes
As part of the debate format, the candidates were given the opportunity to ask each other questions. Handel turned to Ossoff and asked him a question he couldn’t answer: Who he was going to vote for in the special election. As someone who lives outside the district, Ossoff is unable to cast a vote for himself. It went downhill from there for Ossoff.

They Just Won’t Go Away: Michelle Obama Trashes Trump at Apple Conference
The last time we saw Michelle Obama, she was flaunting her poor fashion sense in Italy. This week the former First Lady was a surprise guest at the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference in California. She delivered a fireside chat where she trashed President Trump over global warming junk science and his temporary travel ban from failed Islamist states.
Michelle Obama: “I think my message earlier was, you know, think about that higher purpose. Because we are at a time in this country when we need problem solvers out there who are committed who believe in this country who believe in the value of diversity and believe in, you know, the value of immigrants, and believe that global warming is real.”
Ugh. Won’t these people please just go away. You’ve done enough damage Michelle for one lifetime. Now shoo.
USA Today: On Monday, President Trump endorsed getting the job done by creating a private, non-profit corporation that would apply business principles and provide a steady stream of financing. This change would free air traffic control modernization from two major sources of delay: the bureaucratic process used to select contractors, and Congress’ crazy, on-again, off-again budget process that disrupts long-term planning.
Investors Business Daily: It’s not often that we’d argue for the U.S. to follow in the footsteps of Canada or European governments. But when it comes to privatizing the nation’s woefully antiquated and inefficient air traffic control system, that’s precisely what we should do.
June 15, 2017: A new documentary is being released that shares the untold stories of a group of people who underwent “sex change” operations, but then experienced regret and ended up accepting their biological sex.
