Historian: The More Comey ‘Tries to Salvage His Character the More He Denigrates It’

RUSH EXCERPT:

HANSON: "I was less, I think he’s sort of a tragic figure the more he tries to salvage he’s character of the more he denigrates it. Almost everything he said it wasn’t logical. It wasn’t the habit of the FBI to comment on ongoing investigations but all of our information about Donald Trump’s came from the FBI leaks. We know on three occasions he went out into the public and commented on the status of the investigation on Hillary Clinton. It didn’t make sense. He wrote a memo because he said after trump it was such an extraordinary conversation, he felt so compromised that he might have to record on a government computer. On government car come on government time, yet he alsotestified that Loretta lynch did not suggest but gave him a direct order an intrusion intoinvestigation. And yet he didn’t go out and write a memo on that occasion. This a lot of things that don’t cooperate with each other. Loretta lynch is at the core of all of these because it undermines almost everything he said. When he said he was shocked that trump hinted that he would like to see Flynn and treated well, she gave him a direct order and unlike trump or she apparently resisted, he did not resist that pressure. He was very upset about trump’s suggestions but it had no effect on the investigation which we know continued and then he didn’t object to trump the way he didn’t object to Loretta lynch is pressure either. He didn’t go to Jeff Sessions or any subordinates. It was just not convincing. You brought up “The New York Times” piece that February article was a signaturemoment that developed, it was based on anonymous sources. He was using euphemisms when hesaid he doubted the veracity based on the sources. All of that is a euphemism for unmasking and reverse targeting surveillance. It’s the subject of a subpoena by the house intelligence committee. It may be the subpoenas have any veracity that Samantha power or Susan Rice or John Brennan wereusing surveillance of foreign operatives to find information about political appointments,unmasking those names and licking them the to the press. No wonder “The New York Times” says it can find the original sources because they are either under Cepeda or their subordinates shortly will be. No wonder Comey doesn’t want to get anywhere near that story because there may have beenpeople in the FBI who were doing the same thing with those people."
