something important and "hidden" in Comey's testimony???

I genuinely believe that I may have found something important and "hidden" in Comey's testimony

By RETIII

..................

1. This is the first time Comey met Trump. He had no expressed concerns about Trump before this.

2. After the meeting, Comey says he “felt compelled” — for the first time in his career — to write down what he heard from a President (or President-elect) and began doing so from the curb of Trump Tower in his FBI car.

3. This is the only instance in his testimony where Comey does not say what it is that Trump said to him.

I don't think that this is even a close call. Comey has omitted what it is that was said at this Jan. 6 meeting, and why it started the procedure of memorializing each meeting.

If it was — incredibly — a scrivener’s mistake in his testimony, well then it is still a huge, gaping omission that needs to be corrected. (But it is not a mistake; the subject concerns something else.)

I wonder if Trump assumed that Comey was in on the "fix", and said something stupid to Comey. denbot Jun 2017 #11

Thus, his interest in putting out his opening statement today.

Smart man.

...he had already floated out there that he was in the habit of documenting interactions that he felt unusual, or possibly to be the subject of legal inquiry.

And his first impression of Trump was to document all of that shit.

There's a fair amount of CYA in these memos for Comey as well, but they're still insanely damaging to Trump.

what's not said. Kind of like the hearings today. It would have been so easy for them to say, "No, I was never asked to press Comey to drop the Flynn investigation" but they didn't say that did they.

Comey had his career cut short by a vengeful pinworm known as Donald Trump.

Friends of Comey say he's angry.

He wanted to publicly testify.

He dislikes Trump personally, so much so he tried to camouflage himself as curtains.

Comey is career FBI; Trump is career FIB.

Documentation vs. Delusion.

Tomorrow their swords cross.

What ever was said alarmed Comey enough to take action and record everything else. I hope Trump incriminated himself on their first meeting.
