The Farcical, Democrat James Comey Hearings

The so-called "Comey Hearing" began today with a hostile opening statement by the extremely biased Senator Mark Warner, He proceeded by making statements concluding with a condemnation of President Trump.  Warner twisted his remarks into questions that called for Comey to agree with him with a simple "yes," or "no,|" Warner appears to be an attorney representing James Comey in what is essentially an act of reprisal for his dismissal as head of the FBI. In a court of law, Warner would not get by with these leading statements, containing predicated conclusions disguised as "questions." He was simply using Comey as a mouthpiece to agree with his own hostile opinions. 

I am very troubled by the fact that the "evidence" that Senator Warner believes justifies bringing about this hearing are James Comey's "personal memos," meaning personal notes that Comey admits he made after each meeting with President Trump. At the hearing a few minutes ago, Comey admitted that he did not make notes after meetings with President George Bush (43), or after meetings with President Obama.

I have a serious problem with evidence that originated with the primary witness in allegations of "inappropriate conduct" by President Trump. This hearing centers upon the former FBI Director, James Comey's credibility.  Neither personal notes, nor memos written by anyone involved in an investigation, can hardly be considered probative evidence in an adversarial public airing of a conflict of political views. The Democrat members of the Senate Intelligence Committee lavished praise upon James Come's impeccable credentials, but those are highly subjective evaluations of Comey's credibility.  It goes to Democrat motivation: they see  Comey as a possible tool in their goal of destroying Trump. After all, Comey was the Democrats' ace-in-the hole in saving the presidential campaign of Hillary Clinton--with his dubious act of “clearing” her for gross negligence in handling national security information. He did it by misinterpreting or misapplying the law, intentionally or otherwise. 

Those of us not afflicted with Democrat-type selective amnesia will remember that James Comey discovered serious breaches and gross negligence in Hillary Clinton's handling of highly sensitive classified information.  She did it through use of her illegal, personal email server when she was Secretary of State. After his investigation of Hillary Clinton, James Comey went so far as to say that the former Secretary of State would not be eligible for a security clearance that would entitle her to have access to classified information. However, Comey displayed his sympathy with Hillary Clinton by saying he found that she was not prosecutable because of  her"lack of intent" in blatant breaches in handling documents of national security.  This does not speak well for America's method of selecting its Government officials. We must ask how someone ineligible for a security clearance can achieve one of the highest offices in the land and be second in line for succession to the Presidency.  The State Department is the agency that handles the most serious information of a classified nature--such as handling foreign relations where the agency is instrumental in collecting most of our foreign intelligence.

After completely condemning Hillary Clinton's lack of competency and lack of qualification to handle classified information, Comey said that he did not prosecute her because the element of "intent" was missing in her mental state while compromising our national security,  Right there is where James Comey completely destroyed his own credibility.  If the Head of the FBI does not know what the essential elements of building a case of gross negligence in handling national security, he is either a liar or completely incompetent. That flies in the face of Democrat Senator Warner and Risch's glowing description of Comey's credibility. Intent is not an essential element in prosecuting a case of breach of security. This writer, and possibly others, believe that Comey's real motive in clearing Hillary Clinton was that he believed that she would be his boss after Presidential Inauguration Day on January.21, 2017.  The media's election polls certainly indicated that.
