*GT edit for friendship: If you are not a GIPer but come for the baller rear end CE thread and wound up here, feel free to participate as long as you stick to the circle jerk. No D&D bullshit, no fuckboi nonsense. Lurk if you are not sure what this means. If someone starts a why Hillary lost derail I will report you and demand a ban. Take that poo poo elsewhere. This is about Trump committing obstruction of justice and how he poisons everyone he touches. Also, notice the prop bets. GIVE SOME drat MONEY TO CHARITY. If you need one there are two suggested, and most of us can suggest more.*


This is the Comey open session thread. But like most open sessions its going to be bullshit on top of horse poo poo. Be prepared for lots of non answers, partisan grandstanding and ultimately not really accomplishing a drat thing because lol nothing will change until the Reds lose the house.

However.

Its a week day so Russia-o-clock hit and now the Director of National Intelligence may have to admit that Trump tried to tell him to interfere with the FBI investigation.

That matters because Coats testifies in open session the day before.


So dump your open session circle jerking here and remember:

Last one eats the probie.

UPDATE: Now with time tables.

Wed June 7th, 10 AM EDT:
Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats
Acting Director of FBI Andrew McCabe
Director NSA Admiral Mike Rodgers
Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein*

Thurs June 8th 10 AM EDT:
Former Director FBI James Comey.

* - This just might be where things go the most sideways.


GT Edit:
For you degenerate gamblers I am setting a few lines. If you want to place prop bets do so for charity. If you are lazy then you can :effort: :20bux: to any number of groups on the bets listed here or ride someone else's. POST PROOF OF PAY OUT HERE. If you need a charity, I give to Puppies Behind Bars, but there are plenty of others. Planned Parenthood might be a good idea since President Pence will not be good news for women's health care.

Over Under:
Trump Tweets during Comey Testimony - 10
Times in Wed hearing that any one of the four invokes EP - 12
Times in Wed hearing that anyone invokes Muller to dodge a question - 5
Times Comey invokes Muller to dodge a question - 7

Yes/No bets:
Coats confirm Trump told him to shut down FBI investigation
McCain grows a spine
Comey comes up with a reasonable explanation for why he didn't report Trump interference to someone.
Comey confirms he told Sessions not to leave him alone with Trump again.
Rosenstein loses his poo poo and throws ERRYBODY under the bus

McCain will be concerned about Trump's reaction to the testimony, but will do nothing.


Tammy Duckworth will then whip McCain with the spine he lost in Vietnam, which she personally retrieved for just this purpose.

Comey testifies, gets asked questions that ultimately lead nowhere because there's not enough evidence or whatever. Donald Trump tweets a bunch about FAKE NEWS and DISHONEST MEDIA/COMEY, helping to cement his image as Lord Retard Regent and King of All Retards (:911:). Nothing happens, nothing matters.

PREDICTION

At least two Republicans will attempt to bring up the leaks to the media as the actual issue.

Ted Cruz will, again, try to verbally fellate Trump and place blame on Democrats and the leakers, and will be shut down hard enough to leave, again.

Comey will be very cagey, and therefore the mouth-breathing Republican base will believe whatever Trump says because they can't process words with more than three syllables.

Comey testifies, confirming what most people already know, but fails to actually implicate Trump in anything illegal. The GOP bitch and moan about fake news, the Democrats fumble on the one yard line and Franken scores a clever soundbite that John Oliver will use in about two weeks.

And just for kicks, Eric Trump and/or Kushner will be implicated in a brand new scandal, maybe something involving money laundering for the Russian mob.

Updated the OP with the days/times/who will be there.



:siren:Predictions:siren:


1 - Comey's hearing is bullshit fluff where the Reds harass him about unmasking and why he didn't tell anyone about Trump interfering/his memos. Dems hammer him for details about the extent of interference. Trump will be a gigantic manbaby about it. Will still tweet that Comey confirms there is no collusion.

2 - Wed is when all the action happens. Coats essentially confirms the interference by saying he can't talk about it because of EP/Muller. Reds hammer them about unmasking and Clinton bullshit. The Blues hammer everyone about interference.

3 - Rosenstein fucks up. Bad enough that he has to recuse himself from the Russia poo poo because he was involved in the Comey dismissal. Putting everything in the hands of some woman who's name I don't remember but she has been a long time DC lizard. Trump loses his god drat mind and fires someone. This probably will take a couple days. So look for a recusal late Friday into Monday. Trump fires someone for it by Wed next week.

4 - The Zodiac Killer is still a pile of human feces and no one likes him and he gets dunked on in both sessions.

Comedy Prediction:
Duckworth carves a man's still beating heart out of his chest with a spoon.

The secondary blowback of members of the Trump administration being exposed as Russian plants will result in a fundamental reevaluation of the purpose of the Electoral College system in the 21st century. Specifically, the ability to influence a disproportionately small number of swing state voters and primary voters in order to install an administration beholden to the a foreign government will be placed front and center as a national security concern that must be addressed through constitutional amendment.

:siren: Prediction :siren:

Comey confirms that trump pushed him to end the investigation and nothing comes of it. He will also land a pretty sick burn on one of the repubs and probably a couple dems who gently caress up asking a question properly.

Cruz will have a repeat of his last performance

Dems will collectively whiff by not asking decent questions

Tammy will be the only one to ask anything worthwhile but it will be drowned out by her idiot party members. She will later be seen sneaking a can of cope out of her fake leg along with a flask, visibly giving up.

McCain is concerned but does nothing, again.

In 3 days none of this matters as Trump does something else and we all continue to pray that Mueller's investigation is going better.
