Fox News Chris Wallace didnt mince any words for his audience on Thursday: Former FBI Director James Comeys testimony was very bad news for President Donald Trump.
Specifically, Wallace was struck by the fact that Comey repeatedly said that Trump is a liar.
Politically, I thought it was very damaging to the president, Wallace said on Fox shortly after Comeys testimony ended. Repeatedly, James Comey called the president a liar, said that he lied that the FBI was in disarray, that he defamed him, defamed the FBI. [He] said that the reason he kept those kinds of notes in the first place was because this was the kind of man who would lie about those kinds of things.
Wallace also noted that it was wholly inappropriate not only for Trump to ask Comey to drop the Flynn investigation, but also to kick Vice President Mike Pence and Attorney General Jeff Sessions out of the room before doing so.
Its not good stuff to have said on national television, he said.

(3,040 posts)For people to defend Trump after this. All they really will have are the RWNJ commentators that will say Comey is lying and this is a 'Clinton Cabal' conspiracy.

Greta over at MSNBC was the only network I seen defending Trump after Comey testified. As FOX's roundtable discussed how bad this is for Trump, Greta was attempting to make Lynch the story.

(2,895 posts)business dealings and his foundation... and Eric's foundation... and all his kids' business dealings (and a lot of this will have to come from states with Democratic attorneys general, like what's happening in New York)... and all the conflicts of interests and ethics violations of him, his family, his appointees... all the Russian stuff... any sexual harassment lawsuits still pending... any lawsuits from the scores of people he cheated still pending...just pile it on. The press should have done this more effectively BEFORE the election... but part of the challenge was the sheer size of that "mountain"... and also I think they assumed Clinton would win, and wanted to stay with their usual, reflexive, hostile playbook regarding anything Clinton. So, all kinds of in-depth coverage of a goddamn Breitbart creation (Clinton Cash) by the MSM (and of course, even more so by the nutcase media)... and email, email, email... but it was almost like the Vulgar Talking Yam was so corrupt, they didn't know where to start... or what to focus on. (So, let's just stick with what we know-- smearing Clintons for nothing.)

(5,611 posts)ship. She is a complete idiot, saying that the American people don't care about the fact that the president is a Russian stooge (I am adding "Russian stooge" . It's so pathetic -- she thinks she can repeat the same empty crap over and over and over while the Repubs guy healthcare, etc and sell their souls to a psycho asshole whose lack of patriotism is rather...remarkable.
I will translate the RNC chair's gobbledygook: "WE HAVE GOT TO PASS DRACONIAN HEALTHCARE CUTS AND DEVASTATE EVERY PROGRAM IN THIS COUNTRY BEFORE TRUMP GETS IMPEACHED/GOES BELOW 30% APPROVAL"
