Pellisworth posted:Do we know how many times Trump has visited Russia? How long ago might the piss tape have been recorded, Miss Universe in 2013? If you look at the history of Trump and visiting Russia and meeting Putin it's all over the place. Prior to his campaign he's said he met Putin (most likely in 2013 at the Miss Universe contest) and said Putin called him a genius etc. Once Trump became candidate/became president he started denying like crazy ever meeting Putin or even acting like he knew who he was. The general consensus is he's met Putin in 2013 but Trump is so mental he either doesn't remember, or is intentionally denying it.

"If Trump won't magically go away after a few months, he must be immortal! Why don't we all kill ourselves?" Great stuff.

The HBO movie showing the dinner scene is going to be so good. A quiet room with a clock ticking and Trump shoving cherry tomatos in his mouth like Denethor while Comey stoically sits there.

That's pretty good stuff from Comey, he was never going to get outside of very specific stuff because he's not going to mess with Mueller's work.

Either that or a comically bafoonish and evil Comey tries to trick the wise, sexy and golden-haired adonis playing Trump I. It all depends on the ending, doesn't it?

That "I need loyalty, I expect loyalty" is going to haunt him. No way to spin that, especially when it's said to the head of an agency that's supposed to be independent.

Comey's statement is basically censored by the Special Counsel so it doesn't give away any of Muller's ongoing investigation. And it still basically confirms the piss tape and outright says Trump told Comey to drop the Flynn investigation. Seems pretty good to me.

Someone is going to have to explain to me in more detail why that statement means pisstapes are real because I'm not seeing it. We already knew that one reason Comey personally briefed the president was that the allegations in the report were personally embarrassing. That doesn't make them real.

There's also some ground between "this won't lead to impeachment" and "this is meaningless." Comey is confirming, in more or less black and white terms, that Trump obstructed justice. Just because we'd heard rumors of such before doesn't mean official testimony to that fact is meaningless. There are only 24 hours in a day. Every hour the administration and the congress deals with this stuff is an hour they can't do health reform or tax reform or whatever. And every hour they don't do those things depressed their base. This is important, even if Trump makes it the next 3.5 years.

Trump was still fuming about the pisstapes in like February and demanded the FBI prove they didn't exist. That's a pretty odd thing to do if they in fact do not exist.

Because people who are informed about false embarassing charges about themselves don't tend to independently raise those allegations and dispute them without having been asked specifically months later. The March 30 phone call, when Trump says he wasn't involved with Russian hookers specifically and without prompting, is really out of place otherwise.

Giving him enough rope to tweet himself.

Because it looks like Tormp called Comey out of the blue and started the conversation by denying being recorded in Russia with hookers. Given his behavior about other dumb poo poo, that makes it seem like he knows the piss tape is real. I actually didn't really believe it existed until I read Comey's statement. Holy hell I'm a piss tape believer now.

Comey didn't release them. The Senate Intelligence Committee did. People who testify have to submit written documentation to the committee on their opening statements and respond to questionnaires.
