Sean Hannity Fox News 6/8/17 James Comey Testimony, Russia & President Trump (VIDEO)

OPENING MONOLOGUE FROM SEAN HANNITY …

The MSM was exposed today that they have been lying for months regarding the Russia investigation and President Donald Trump’s involvement. There was none. Does anyone find it troubling that former FBI director Comey leaked to the very MSM he supposedly was supposed to be concerned about with the leaks they were receiving? Just how many times did Comey leak? Hannity calls Comey a partisan and political hack.

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) Destroys Comey … Comey Admits Trump Asked Him If My Satellites did Something Wrong, Find it Out … Also, Rubio Slams Comey, “the Only Thing that’s Never been Leaked is the Fact That the President Was not Personally Under Investigation” (VIDEO)

RUBIO BLISTERS COMEY WITH QUESTION OF WHY IS IT THE ONLY THING THAT WASN’T LEAKED WAS THAT TRUMP WAS NOT PERSONALLY UNDER INVESTIGATION …

During yesterday’s Senate Intelligence Committee hearing Sen. Marco Rubio strategically and systematically dismantled former FBI director James Comey’s allegations of obstruction of justice. It was a thing of beauty. Comey, a creature of Washington, DC and an individual very well aware of the law never said to Donald Trump that the conversation might be inappropriate. Yet, he managed to take notes afterwards. That is called CYA. However, how is it if a president was supposedly telling Comey to stop an investigation with regards to Flynn, would he has said the following? With regards to President Trump supposedly trying to pressure FBI director Comey with Flynn investigation, Comey even came out and added the following when being questioned by Sen Rubio, “Yes, sir. He (Trump) actually went farther than that. He said, “And if some of my satellites did something wrong, it’d be good to find that out.” So Trump is telling Comey to find the bad apples now, sooner than later. This is obstruction, really?

But the money line of the questioning was when Rubio said to Comey, “You ever wonder why, of all the things in this investigation, the only thing that’s never been leaked is the fact that the president was not personally under investigation, despite the fact that both Democrats and Republicans in the leadership of Congress knew that, and have known that for weeks?”

Transcript NBC News:

SEN MARCO RUBIO (R-Florida): Thank you. Director Comey, the meeting in the Oval Office where he made the request about Mike Flynn — was that the only time he asked you to hopefully let it go?

COMEY: Yes.

RUBIO: And in that meeting, as you understood it, that was — he was asking not about the general Russia investigation, he was asking very specifically about the jeopardy that Flynn was in himself?

COMEY: That’s how I understood it, yes, sir.

RUBIO: And as you perceived it, while it was a request that — he hoped you did away with it, you perceived it as an order, given his position, the setting and the like, and some of the circumstances?

COMEY: Yes.

RUBIO: At the time, did you say anything to the president about — that is not an appropriate request, or did you tell the White House counsel, that is not an appropriate request, someone needs to go tell the president that he can’t do these things?

COMEY: I didn’t, no.

RUBIO: OK. Why?

COMEY: I don’t know. I think the — as I said earlier, I think the circumstances were such that it was — I was a bit stunned, and didn’t have the presence of mind.

And I don’t know — you know, I don’t want to make you — sound like I’m Captain Courageous. I don’t know whether, even if I had the presence of mind, I would have said to the president, “Sir, that’s wrong.” I don’t know whether I would have.

RUBIO: OK.

58:20 — COMEY: But in the moment, it — it didn’t — it didn’t come to my mind. What came to my mind is, be careful what you say. And so I said, “I agree Flynn is a good guy.”RUBIO: So, on the cloud — we keep talking about this cloud — you perceived the cloud to be the Russian investigation in general, correct?

COMEY: Yes, sir.

RUBIO: But the specific ask was that you would tell the American people what you had already told him, what you had already told the leaders of Congress, both Democrats and Republicans: that he was not personally under investigation.

COMEY: Yes, sir, that’s how I…

RUBIO: In fact (ph), he was asking you to do what you have done here today.

COMEY: … correct. Yes, sir.

RUBIO: OK. And again, at that setting, did you say to the president that it would be inappropriate for you to do so, and then talk to the White House counsel or anybody so hopefully they would talk to him and tell him that he couldn’t do this?

COMEY: First time, I said, “I’ll see what we can do.” Second time, I explained how it should work, that the White House counsel should contact the deputy attorney general.

RUBIO: You told him that?

COMEY: The president said, OK, then I think that’s what I’ll do.

RUBIO: And just to be clear, for you to make a public statement that he was not under investigation would not have been illegal, but you felt it made no sense because it could potentially create a duty to correct, if circumstances changed?

COMEY: Yes, sir. We wrestled with it before my testimony where I confirmed that there was an investigation. And there were two primary concerns. One was it creates a duty to correct, which I’ve lived before, and you want to be very careful about doing that.

And second, it’s a slippery slope, because if we say the president and the vice president aren’t under investigation, what’s the principled basis for — for stopping?

RUBIO: OK. COMEY: And so the leadership at — at justice, Acting Attorney General Boente, said, “You’re not going to do that.”

RUBIO: Now, on March 30th, during the phone call about General Flynn, you said he abruptly shifted and brought up something that you call, quote, unquote, “the McCabe thing.” Specifically, the McCabe thing, as you understood it, was that McCabe’s wife had received campaign money from what I assume means Terry McAuliffe…

COMEY: Yes, sir.

(CROSSTALK)

RUBIO: … who (ph) was very close to the Clintons. And — and so why did you — had the president at any point in time expressed to you concern, opposition, potential opposition to McCabe? “I don’t like this guy because he got money from someone this close to Clinton?”COMEY: He had asked me, during previous conversations, about Andy McCabe, and said, in essence, “How’s he going to be with me as president? I was pretty rough on them (ph) on the campaign trail.” And…

RUBIO: He was rough on McCabe?

COMEY: … he was — by his own account, he said he was rough on McCabe and Mrs. McCabe on the campaign trail — how’s he going to be? And I assured the president, Andy is a total pro. No issue at all. You got to know the people of the FBI, they are not…

(CROSSTALK)

RUBIO: So — so, when the president turns to you and says, “Remember, I never brought up the McCabe thing because you said he was a good guy,” did you perceive that to be a statement that — I took care of you, I — I didn’t do something because you told me he was a good guy. So now, you know, I’m asking you, potentially, for something in return? Is that how you perceived it?

COMEY: I wasn’t sure what to make of it, honestly. That’s possible, but it — it was so out of context that I didn’t have a clear view of what it was.

RUBIO: Now, on a number of occasions here, you bring up — let’s talk (ph) now about the general Russia investigation, OK? In page 6 of your testimony, you say — the first thing you say is, he asked what we could do to, quote/unquote, “lift the cloud,” the general Russia investigation.

And you responded that we were investigating the matter as quickly as we could and that there would be great benefit, if we didn’t find anything, to having done the work well. And he agreed. He reemphasized the problems it was causing him, but he agreed.

So, in essence, the president agreed with your statement that it would be great if we could have an investigation, all the facts came out and we found nothing. So he agreed that that would be ideal, but this cloud is still messing up my ability to do the rest of my agenda. Is that an accurate assessment of…

(CROSSTALK)

COMEY: Yes, sir. He actually went farther than that. He — he said, “And if some of my satellites did something wrong, it’d be good to find that out.”

RUBIO: Well, that’s the second part, and that is the satellites. He said, “If (ph) one of my satellites” — I imagine, by that, he meant some of the other people surrounding his campaign — “did something wrong, it would be great to know that, as well”?

COMEY: Yes, sir. That’s what he said.

RUBIO: So are those the other — are those the only two instances in which that sort of back-and-forth happened, where the president was basically saying, and I’m paraphrasing here, it’s OK, do the Russia investigation. I hope it all comes out. I have nothing to do with anything Russia. It’d be great if it all came out, if people around me were doing things that were wrong.

COMEY: Yes. As I — I recorded it accurately there. That was the sentiment he was expressing. Yes, sir.

RUBIO: So what it basically (ph) comes down to is the president has asked three things of you. He asked for your loyalty, and you said you would be loyally honest.

COMEY: Honestly loyal.

RUBIO: Honestly loyal. The — the — he asked you, on one occasion, to let the Mike Flynn thing go because he was a good guy — but (ph) you’re aware that he said the exact same thing in the press the next day. “He’s a good guy,” “He’s been treated unfairly,” et cetera, et cetera. So I imagine your FBI agents read that.

(CROSSTALK)

COMEY: I’m sure they did.

RUBIO: Your — the president’s wishes were known to them, certainly, by the next day, when he had a press conference with the prime minister.RUBIO: But going back, the three requests were; number one, be loyal; number two, let the Mike Flynn thing go, he’s a good guy, he’s been treated unfairly; and, number three, can you please tell the American people what these leaders in Congress already know, what you already know, what you’ve told me three times — that I’m not under — personally under investigation?

COMEY: Those are the three things he asked. Yes, sir.

63:40 — RUBIO: You know, this investigation is full of leaks, left and right. I mean, we’ve learned more from the newspapers sometimes than we do from our open hearings, for sure.

You ever wonder why, of all the things in this investigation, the only thing that’s never been leaked is the fact that the president was not personally under investigation, despite the fact that both Democrats and Republicans in (ph) the leadership of Congress knew that, and have known that for weeks?

COMEY: I don’t know. I find matters that are briefed to the Gang of Eight are pretty tightly held, in my experience.

RUBIO: Finally, who are those senior leaders at the FBI that you shared these conversations with?

COMEY: As I said in response to Senator Feinstein’s question, deputy director, my chief of staff, general counsel, the deputy director’s chief counsel, and then, more often than not, the number three person at the FBI, who is the associate deputy director, and then, quite often, the head of the national security branch.

President Trump Taps Former Assistant Attorney General Christopher Wray as New FBI Director

TRUMP NOMINATES CHRISTOPHER WRAY TO BE NEW FBI DIRECTOR …

In a tweet this morning from President Donald Trump, he has picked former assistant attorney general Christopher Wray as new FBI director. Trump also posted on Twitter that Wray is a “man of impeccable credentials” and saying more details would follow. Christopher Wray is currently a partner at the Washington law firm King & Spalding and led the Justice Department’s Criminal Division from 2003 to 2005 under President GWB. According to the NY Times, Wray is a safe, mainstream pick from a president who at one point was considering politicians for a job that has historically been kept outside of politics. Wray appears to be a breath of fresh air to the FBI director position.

President Trump said Wednesday that he had selected the former federal prosecutor Christopher Wray, now a partner at the Washington law firm King & Spalding, to be his new F.B.I. director.

The announcement comes a day before the former F.B.I. director James B. Comey was scheduled to testify about Mr. Trump’s attempts to get him to end the bureau’s investigation into his former national security adviser’s contacts with Russia. The action may represent an attempt to inject credibility into an investigation rocked by controversy and accusations of presidential tampering.

Mr. Wray is a safe, mainstream pick from a president who at one point was considering politicians for a job that has historically been kept outside of politics. Mr. Wray, a former assistant attorney general overseeing the criminal division under President George W. Bush, is likely to allay the fears of F.B.I. agents who worried that Mr. Trump would try to weaken or politicize the F.B.I.

Moonbat Comedian Kathy Griffin Beheads President Trump in Photo Shoot … This is Humor?

SO SOME ONE IS GOING TO HAVE TO TELL ME HOW THIS IS HUMOR … TAKING DEMOCRAT BLOOD LUST FOR TRUMP TO A NEW LOW.

From TMZ comes the following hideous story where uber-lib comedian Kathy Griffin did a photo shoot with a mask of President Donald Trump’s head, severed and detached from his body. ARE YOU FRIGGING KIDDING ME!!! This is supposed to be humor? Good luck discussing that with the Secret Service. If I didn’t know better, this looks similar to ISIS videos, doesn’t it? As one of the better tweets from Twitchy apply opined, “When they go low, we go ISIS video.” Welcome to the moonbat Left and what is driving it.

Talk about a double standard and hypocrisy. Can you imagine if anyone did this to former President Barack Obama? They would lose their job and be hounded into hiding. According to the poll at TMZ, 23% of individuals actually think this is fair game. Welcome to today’s Democrat party. But of course it would be different if Trump’s head was replaced with Obama’s.

Kathy Griffin wants Donald Trump’s head … but she wants it bloody and detached from his body.

The comedian posed for the gory shot during a photo session with famed photog Tyler Shields, who’s known for edgy, shocking pics. We got the pic before the release.

During the photo shoot, Kathy joked that she and Tyler would need to move to Mexico once the pics got released, for fear they’d be thrown in prison.

THIS IS JUST NOT FUNNY, ITS OFFENSIVE!

UPDATE I: Kathy Griffin makes lame apology after her hideous photo shoot …  ‘I beg for your forgiveness’.

Apology not accepted. You knew damn well what you were doing as seen in the TMZ video. This fool should get the same treatment as the rodeo clown. Screw you and your apology. You now need to lose your job and your endorsements. You made your bed. CNN needs to cut ties with her now and do so vocally.

An apologetic Kathy Griffin took to Instagram to issue a mea culpa for participating in a photo shoot that featured her holding up a bloody head resembling President Donald Trump.

“I’m a comic,” she said. “I cross the line. I move the line, then I cross it. I went way too far. The image is too disturbing. I understand how it offends people. It wasn’t funny. I get it.”

She said she is asking celebrity photographer Tyler Shields to take down the photo.

“I beg for your forgiveness. I went too far,” she said in the post on Tuesday. “I made a mistake and I was wrong.”

Earlier Tuesday, Shields, who is known for his provocative images, released photos he did with Griffin that immediately came under fire from people on Twitter.
The president’s son, Donald Trump Jr, called the imagery “disgusting but not surprising.”

Chelsea Clinton, daughter of Trump’s one-time campaign rival Hillary Clinton, called the photo “vile and wrong.”
“It is never funny to joke about killing a president,” she wrote on Twitter.

UPDATE II: President Trump Calls Out Kathy Griffin On Twitter: ‘Should Be Ashamed’.

President Donald Trump calls Radiscal Islam Suicide Bomber an ‘Evil Loser’ Following Manchester Arena Carnage (VIDEO)

TRUMP CALLS MANCHESTER, ENGLAND SUICIDE BOMBER AN “EVIL LOSER”

Its about time some one called these individuals for what they really are. In the wake of the horrific Manchester, England terrorist suicide bombing that left 23 dead and scores more injured, President Donald Trump took to the podium and called the terrorist coward for what he really was, an evil loser. What a far cry from the days and reactions of the past eight years of Obama.
