The Washington Post and the New York Times reported that the real reason Trump fired Comey was because he would not investigate leaks of classified information.\u00a0 Based on the\u00a0arrest yesterday, it looks like\u00a0Trump got it right.<\/p>\n<p>I predict the hearing will be a major bust.\u00a0 Comey will say very little and he will be caught in numerous contradictions.\u00a0 He will spend more time avoiding questions than giving answers.\u00a0 The main stream media, in their lust for a bombshell are likely to grossly exaggerate the slightest hint that Trump might be investigated for something.\u00a0 For example Comey is very likely to refuse to answer a question because it involves an ongoing criminal investigation.\u00a0 The main stream media will assume that means Trump, because they want to believe that.\u00a0 That will, of course, be nonsense, but this is what we have learned to expect whenever Comey opens his mouth.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime more and more people, in both political parties, want both James Comey and Hillary Clinton to do the same thing.\u00a0 Sit down, shut up and go away.<\/p>\n<p>TDM<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Senate Judiciary Committee sent a bi-partisan letter to Comey asking him to answer seven questions and to provide his notes regarding his conversations with Trump and others.\u00a0 Comey refused because he \u201cis a private citizen.\u00a0 That makes no sense.\u00a0 &hellip;
