Not particularly, if the FBI needs to pass something to the President, they'd pass it via the Attorney General or intelligence channels. You don't just waltz down and talk to CID, man. If they need you, they'll get in touch with you.

I'm on a customer site today, but just from the comments in this thread it looks like it was everything we hoped for and more. Can someone give me a synopsis of what's happened so far?

Burr opening statement: Bipartisanship, EMAILS. Warner: Uh, Russia done hosed us. Comey statement: I'm sad about leaving the FBI, I'm glad to be here, Trump has been telling lies about me, and goodbye to my FBI brothers. *Comey goes under oath* Burr questioning: Did Russia hack us? Wait, poo poo, they did? Um, EMAILS. Warner: Is Trump really that hosed up? Huh.

And now Risch just made the play: "Did he direct you to drop the Flynn investigation?" Comey - "No. But I took his meaning as a direction. He's the President of the United States after all."

redneck nazgul posted:Okay, Comey just confirmed no investigation via questioning from Risch. This is a dumb question that keeps getting floated as some excusal for the president. Trump was not the subject. The campaign is. And you start there. You get one person, nail them to the wall, and then spiderweb from there. Saying Trump isn't under investigation is essentially saying they haven't got that far yet. Whats more surprising is the "no collusion" point. Is he saying that definitively that there wasn't collusion?

Oh gently caress off, Risch. "What are the words here? Oh, they didn't say "I order you to do something...", I guess that's not obstruction of justice!"

lol pretty elegant trap comey did there with taking trump at his words. Also, most notably, Comey took the President to be directing him to drop the investigation.

hobbesmaster posted:Isn't he only talking about 1 on 1s with presidents? As FBI director he'd be with the AG normally right? Yes, and that appears to be the context of the "I don't want to be left alone with the President" request of AG Sessions. Specifically that the AG shouldn't have been excused from the smaller (1-on-1) meeting.

If you think they haven't jammed cell signals and changed the WiFi password to stop his phone from getting a signal out you are joking yourself. Thats why there aren't any tweets.
