Comey Held Secret Obama White House Meeting Before The Inauguration,
Lied To Congress About It
Busted by Susan Rice’s CYA email. There’s absolutely no way around the fact that he lied
Quote:FBI Director James Comey held a secret Oval Office meeting with President Barack Obama two weeks before Trump’s inauguration and may have deliberately misled Congress about it, according to an email sent by National Security Advisor Susan Rice that GOP Sens. Chuck Grassley and Lindsey Graham partially unclassified.
The meeting — which Comey never previously disclosed to Congress — occurred in the White House on Jan. 5, 2016. It included Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, Rice deputy Attorney General Sally Yates, and Comey. The topic of the meeting was potential Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.
By failing to inform the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence about the meeting in his June 8, 2017, testimony, Comey may have deliberately and intentionally misled Congress about his interactions with the former president, especially a meeting so close to Trump entering the White House.
“President Obama had a brief follow-on conversation with FBI Director Comey and Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates in the Oval Office,” Rice wrote in an email written the day before the inauguration.

He's a busy man. He didn't recall meeting with the President of the United States of America, the most powerful man in the world. It happens. Get over it.
RE: Comey Held Secret Obama White House Meeting Before The Inauguration,
Quote:“I spoke alone with President Obama twice in person (and never on the phone) – once in 2015 to discuss law enforcement policy issues and a second time, briefly, for him to say goodbye in late 2016,” Comey’s opening statement read.
I got this figured out. In the meeting shortly before Trump took office, Comey never spoke "alone" with President Obama. Actually, during that meeting, he never spoke at all but instead used grunts, whistles, snorts, and hand signals.
RE: Comey Held Secret Obama White House Meeting Before The Inauguration,
Daily Caller...once again missing the mark.
Comey's testimony...in context:
Quote:I felt compelled to document my first conversation with the President-Elect
in a memo. To ensure accuracy, I began to type it on a laptop in an FBI vehicle
outside Trump Tower the moment I walked out of the meeting. Creating written
records immediately after one-on-one conversations with Mr. Trump was my
practice from that point forward. This had not been my practice in the past. I
spoke alone with President Obama twice in person (and never on the phone) –
once in 2015 to discuss law enforcement policy issues and a second time, briefly,
for him to say goodbye in late 2016. In neither of those circumstances did I
memorialize the discussions. I can recall nine one-on-one conversations with
President Trump in four months – three in person and six on the phone.
He's clearly talking about 1:1 meetings with trump...and then Obama.
This was not a 1:1 meeting with Obama. Not to mention, Rice's e-mail is not clear on whether Comey was at the White House or on the phone.

Keep grasping for those straws guys!
Obama said he NEVER DISCUSSED investigations with the FBI & DOJ. He lied.

That’s not investigations IofM. I wish people wouldn’t copy and paste him. I haven’t been hitting show this post because he’s on ignore. A broken watch is right more often than UofM.

RE: Comey Held Secret Obama White House Meeting Before The Inauguration,
For Mach, the guy who rarely supplies a link for any of his assertions, but always demands others provide theirs.
Obama saying he never gets involved in DOJ or FBI investigations:
Quote:Watch: Obama ‘guaranteed’ no involvement in any DOJ or FBI investigation
In 2016, then-President Barack Obama told “Fox News Sunday” host Chris Wallace he could “guarantee” that he had no discussions about or influence over any FBI or Justice Department investigations, including the investigation into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server.
But the latest release of text messages between FBI agent Peter Strzok and FBI lawyer Lisa Page has raised questions about Obama’s involvement in the Clinton email investigation, Senate investigators told Fox News.
Quote:An FBI lawyer texted a bureau agent that then-President Obama “wants to know everything we’re doing” — a message that a Senate committee suggested could refer to the federal investigation of Hillary Clinton’s emails.

The DNC has been doing all the work for them for quite some time now.

RE: Comey Held Secret Obama White House Meeting Before The Inauguration,
Full stop.
Quote:“I think she’d be the first to acknowledge that maybe she could have handled the original decision better and the disclosures more quickly,” Mr. Obama said in an interview on CBS’ “60 Minutes” broadcast Sunday night. “I don’t think it posed a national security problem. It was a mistake that she has acknowledged.”
The president wouldn’t say whether he agreed with the Clintons’ characterization that the whole email server scandal is “not a big deal.”
“What I think is that it is important for her to answer these questions to the satisfaction of the American public,” Mr. Obama said.
Influence? I don't see no stinkin' influence, you?
