On Thursday’s Mark Levin Show, It appears former FBI Director James Comey’s testimony before Congress has backfired on the Democrats and the media. Instead of damaging President Trump, Comey’s testimony raised serious questions about his own handling of classified information by leaking his memo. Comey said he provided a copy of this key memo — which is in fact government information and property — to a private citizen for the purpose of leaking its contents to the media, which media could well be obstruction of justice. Comey knows better than this, as private citizens are not free to take government property and leak it. Mr. Comey leaked the information for the purpose of encouraging a criminal investigation. If Comey was honest, why didn’t he come out with this memo before he was fired? Also, keep in mind that he and Robert Mueller, the special counsel are buddies. The special counsel is not independent at all. In addition, there was brilliant questioning by some of the Republicans Thursday especially Marco Rubio, James Risch and James Lankford. However, Democrats at the hearing were not interested in getting to the truth but just wanted to try and destroy Trump. They were basically doing what they do on T.V., which is accusing people of criminal behavior unless they are terrorists or mass murderers. What was it that Trump said that was non-truthful to Comey and why didn’t anyone ask Comey this question? Comey is saying he felt pressured and that he didn’t like the meeting but doesn’t mention a false statement from Trump. According to Comey’s own testimony nothing that Trump did would have caused Comey to resign as a matter of ethics. Trump did nothing to obstruct justice. Finally, another big takeaway from the hearing was that Loretta Lynch tried to influence the outcome of the 2016 election. She needs to be subpoenaed to testify. Why didn’t any of the Democrats at the hearing ask about this?
