Now we know what the posturing was all about.

Comey lands $10M ‘Clinton-Trump tell-all’ book deal

by Marie Aubry/ June 10, 2017/

"Former FBI Director James Comey has been offered a multimillion-dollar book deal following his testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee earlier this week.

Several media outlets are reporting that Hollywood producers and publishing companies are scrambling to sign a deal with the ousted FBI chief so he can dish on all the details relating to his private interactions with President Trump and his investigation into the Hillary Clinton private email server scandal......"

If You Get a Check Like This From Walmart, Here’s What It Means

".....The Illinois Sheriff’s Department has just issued a warning to the public about a new scheme where a victim receives a letter in the mail with a check. The letter reportedly tells the recipient that they have been accepted into the “Quality Control” at Walmart. It goes on to inform them of their new “responsibilities.”

The check included requires activation with a user id and a password which is supplied in the letter. Once the recipient tries to deposit it into their bank account, the thugs responsible have access to their bank account. ...."

Lynch Successfully Pressured Comey To Mislead Public Using Clinton Campaign's 'Inaccurate' Talking P

Lynch Successfully Pressured Comey To Mislead Public Using Clinton Campaign’s ‘Inaccurate’ Talking Points

Peter Hasson

"Loretta Lynch, the former attorney general under Barack Obama, pressured former FBI Director James Comey to downplay the Clinton email server investigation and only refer to it as a “matter,” Comey testified before the Senate Intelligence Committee on Thursday.

Comey said that when he asked Lynch if she was going to authorize him to confirm the existence of the Clinton email investigation, her answer was, “Yes, but don’t call it that. Call it a matter.” When Comey asked why, he said, Lynch wouldn’t give him an explanation. “Just call it a matter,” she said.

Comey added later that he was concerned about that direction as it was false. He was further concerned because it aligned with the Clinton campaign’s spin on the investigation....."

Comey complied, in his words, because it “wasn’t a hill worth dying on.” In February 2016, the FBI confirmed in a letter that the agency was “working on matters related to former Secretary Clinton’s use of a private email server.”

Trump's Lawyer Will File Leak Complaint Against Comey

Pretty clear Comey's actions were a partisan political hit job against President Trump. If there was no Russian collusion, no obstruction of justice then where's the need for a special prosecutor?

Trump's Lawyer Will File Leak Complaint Against Comey

"I asked a friend of mine to share the content of a memo with the reporter," Comey said during yesterday's Senate hearing. "I didn’t do it myself for a variety of reasons, but I asked him to because I thought that might prompt the appointment of a special counsel."

As was revealed later in the day, Comey's friend was Columbia Law Professor Dan Richman.  ..."

James Comey, Novelist

James Comey, Novelist

"James Comey has a story to tell, and in his account, there is no doubt about who is the hero. Comey, by reputation, has a monumental ego. His prepared testimony for the Senate Intelligence Committee, which you can read here, is consistent with that image. It is also clear that Comey is a consummate creature of Washington.

Comey’s narrative suggests that from the beginning, he viewed President Trump with suspicion as an interloper in Comey’s D.C. world. He apparently never had a conversation with Trump without immediately documenting it in a memo and discussing it with his aides at the FBI. For some reason, Comey sees fit to contrast his relationships with Presidents Obama and Trump: ...."

" ....James Comey thinks he is the hero of his story, but he comes across more like Sid Sawyer or Master Blifil. ...."

".... If I had been president, I would have replaced James Comey sooner."

Coats, Rogers Ruin Democrats' Narrative: "Never Felt Pressured To Do Anything Illegal"

Coats, Rogers Ruin Democrats' Narrative: "Never Felt Pressured To Do Anything Illegal"

"Not surprisingly, today's hearing on the review of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act quickly morphed into another Trump witch hunt as soon as the first Democrat on the committee, Senator Mark Warner (D-VA), was allotted time for questions.  Unfortunately, Warner didn't get the response he had hoped for when he asked Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats and National Security Agency Director Admiral Mike Rogers whether they had ever been pressured by the Trump administration to downplay the Russian investigation.  Here are the headlines:

*NSA'S ROGERS: I'VE NEVER FELT PRESSURED TO DO ANYTHING ILLEGAL

*NSA'S ROGERS: I'VE NEVER BEEN DIRECTED TO DO ANYTHING ILLEGAL

*COATS: I'VE NEVER FELT PRESSURE TO SHAPE ONGOING INVESTIGATION   ...."
