Obstruction? Lying to an FBI agent?

He was not under oath, wasn't being recorded, wasn't being asked any questions, and the FBI wasn't even investigating anything about Trump and the dossier at that point. Trump volunteered information about years old activities during the trip.

Comey's concern was that this information was circulating, and that he believed someone was clearly trying to distribute potentially compromising photos / information about his new boss, and he wanted Trump to know about it.

Not everything is a crime, something to impeach Trump with and throw him in jail. There's enough legit shit to be vocal about with Trump. When every reported comment is dissected 5 ways from Sunday, we look like alarmist, reactionary, obsessed fanatics who will say anything in the hope that maybe some of it might stick.

Not everything is a crime, something to impeach Trump with and throw him in jail..."

Thankfully, no one on the thread is arguing as such. In fact, you appear the only one bringing it up.

Reactionary, indeed...

Most certainly, your concern this will make Democrats looks bad is as sincere as it is misplaced.

is a completely innocent act in and of itself, something pretty nasty must have happened during that night to make Trump deny it so vehemently.

The problem is that Trump lies pathologically and for reasons of ego, not for any practical reason. That makes it hard to argue that "because he's lying this time, it means it's to cover up something serious".

You have no evidence to make that inference.

Remember....just because all the clocks in a square city block say 6:00, it could be 10:45 by Trumpworld standards.

plane.

Oh, wait. He didn't take that one.

What's coming next???

in Moscow. It would not have taken all that long.

That is not to say that it is true. It could just as well be very false.

But the fact that Trump claims he did not spend a full night in Moscow does not prove that it did not happen. Doesn't prove it happened either.

Is Bloomberg accounting for the differences in time? Is the report from Bloomberg based on our time or Moscow time. There is a difference.

Moscow is 7 hours ahead of New York.

sort of game -- with himself as well as with everyone else.

Remember. He is not all that sane in the sense of in touch with reality.

I sometimes wonder whether, as a child, he ever had to pay a price for his misconduct. How could a person sleep with a porn star when his wife has just had a baby? How insane is that???? I mean, when we had our children, my husband was so protective of the entire family. What in the world is Trump about. He just is not normal at all, not even within the scope of normality.

I'm not saying it proves guilt. I'm just saying it is evidence of consciousness of guilt.

And yes, he is an abnormal human being. But he is not mentally ill to the point of not knowing the difference between right and wrong. He damn well does know the difference. That is why he keeps lying about what he's been doing and won't release his tax returns.

I do believe he DID spend the night, but you don't have to spend the night to have an interaction with hookers.

Trump is such a careless liar. He lies about things that can easily be disproved.

He testified that after the party where they turned down offer of prostitutes, he accompanied Trump to Trump's room and left him there while Keith went to his own room to sleep that night so he did not know whether or not anything took place in Trump's room that night after Keith left. But they did not pack and leave that night.

I have a feeling he didn't want to continue to be in a position where he had to keep exposing himself to legal jeopardy over and over again.

First he walks a tight rope in front of the House committee by answering the question that way. Opening himself up to potential perjury charges. He also hand delivered the 'you're fired' letter to Comey's office while Comey was in California, thus opening himself up to being an accessory to obstruction of justice. I can see why the big goon wanted to get out of there.

By that logic, a courier delivering the exact same letter is exposed to charges. Just delivering a letter from your boss isn't a criminal act. They'd have to have evidence of some kind showing that he provided material aid to Trump's obstruction of justice. Merely delivering a letter wouldn't tick that box, I'd think.

...and still delivered it, he could be liable. Especially if he knew that the intent of firing Comey was to stop the Russia investigation. And, knowing Trump's close relationship with Schiller, I don't doubt that he knew that was the intent of firing Comey.

If that wasn't the case, anybody could have delivered it. But I suspect Trump probably asked a couple of other people first, and they refused.

That time he stole that protester's sign, and then decked him when he tried to get it back. I'm hoping that guy sued the big gorilla for violating his First Amendment rights, on top of filing charges for common assault.

Rep. Jordan said so!
Also, if you don't sleep, like, say, for instance, hypothetically, you stayed awake the whole time on cocaine with hookers, it's NOT lying to say you didn't "spend the night".

Makes perfect sense to me, in an 80's kind of way

...but another step along the road to a massive pile of evidence. I wonder how they plan to lie Pee Diddler out of this one.

With his first breath.

that Trump stayed at least 1 overnight. Schiller testified to the House Intel Cmte, iirc, that when they were in Moscow in 2013 for the "Miss Universe" show, he stood outside Trump's hotel room door for at least part of one night.
