Well, he did share information that had been entrusted to the USA by an ally on the condition that it be kept confidential. And then he confirmed that the ally was Israel.

He also was very successful in selectively leaking his "only" good tax return. I suppose thats an acceptable leak in the eyes of Trumpsters.

He may have, he may not have.  If congress has no idea who leaked it and if they're investigating and not you then please enlighten us as to how you ae so adamant that it was Trump.  And no, no leaks are acceptable regardless of who is responsible.

You honestly think that the leaking of a single Tax return, that makes Trump look good, is a coincidence ? If they are all that good, why not release them all.

Maybe I am getting cynical in my old age, but that is so obviously a Trump leak, I cant see how anyone could defend it as otherwise.

 

And dont forget, It had "Client Copy" stamped on it, lol

Not sure if anyone has noticed the Fox spin on any trump negative leak is

"Forget about the content, Find the leaker, we have a leak problem" 

The spin on a trump positive leak is

"report the content, well done leaker"

 

 

[mogandave]

Yes. In your mind guilty or not. 
 
Typical liberal rabble. Loses an election and ready to overturn the legal government. Shame on you. 

Only when he's found guilty

Perhaps you might like to tell us which House or Senate Sub Committee or which Federal Agency is investigating the release of the two pages of Trump's tax return for that particular year?

 

You seem to have tripped over this nothing-burger narrative that is being peddled by the fanboys and landed face down in the dirt.

 

Better luck next time.

There is a broad investigation into Russia trying to influence the election, lots of indisputable evidence. As "part" of that broad investigation, there is also an investigation into possible collusion etc. The investigation is into Russian melding, and to a lesser extent trump, or any,  collusion.

A big part of Comeys testimony was, Yes the Russians tried to influence, yes there is evidence, Trump is doing nothing about the Major issue of Russian meddling and everything about defending the smaller part of the investigation, collusion.

Indisputable evidence has been produced for 90% of the investigation, and the 10% is still being looked into, who were they talking to.

The 10% is what was discussed in the closed sessions, thats why it is a closed session, they have stuff to talk about.

Give me a call when he's impeached AND convicted.  Until then..........boring!!

It is not illegal for Americans to talk with Russians.

No, it's not, but if you are a politician or an appointed official that is one of the things you have to report--it is a fact Flynn and Sessions did not report all their contacts with the Russians. Kushner's back channel is also not unusual, except for the fact he was trying to do it with Russian intelligence communications not transparent to the US--Hello, is anyone in there?

I was lucky to not trip over you, seeing you were there first.  Who said anything about them investigating the two leaked pages. I certainly didn't?

Whistleblowing is totally different as any intelligent person knows.  Leaking is premeditated and designed to deliberately hurt one person or another, which everything coming out now unfortunately being designed to derail the POTUS.  Comey did a fine job of that with his alleged contemporaneous notes.

 

I wouldn't trust anything that he has to say and he has no one to corroborate  what he is alleging so his word against Trump.  And please don't come back with the spiel of Trump being a prolific liar whilst Comey is the heavenly angel and wouldn't dare to lie under oath.  If you think that, well what can one say, I know, naïve springs to mind.

Incoherent much? So when information is leaked that hurts a person, no matter what that person has done, even if said person has committed improper acts, then it's not whistleblowing?  Or is it only not whistleblowing when it concerns Donald Trump. They way you constructed your sentence - jumping from a generalization to what whistleblowing is to the particular case of Donald Trump, it's impossible to decode.

And who cares who you wouldn't trust? And who are to rule out the fact that Trump is a prolific liar? Maybe next you'll be saying not tell you that 2+2=4.  How anybody could think that Donald Trump's massive history of lying - lying about things he's been recorded saying on videotape - and not just once but times almost past counting - is irrelevant is beyond me.

Who's being naive? Someone who takes the word of a constant and unremitting liar over a person who has not been shown to lie I think qualifies that person to be called a massively and sadly naive.

There are plenty of honorable people out there willing to vouch for the honesty of James Comey. Who in their right mind could say the same of Donald Trump?

What part of "entrusted with" do you not get? A key ally of ours in the fight against terrorism had their trust betrayed by a simpleton who feels it necessary to share our most highly guarded secrets with a hostile foreign power for no other reason than to brag. It has already been stipulated numerous times that he has the authority to share classified information with whomever he chooses. However, the wisdom or advisability of doing to is another thing entirely. Using your highly flawed logic, he has the authority to launch nuclear missiles whenever he chooses. After all, he is the President and Commander-in-Chief. However, that might not be the most prudent thing he could do. Similar to sharing classified data with an enemy. Let me put it in language you might have an easier time understanding...it was stupid. But then, America and the world have come to expect little more from the orange one.

the leaps you make are staggering….what part of "you are not the president" do you not get?

 

he hasn't broken any laws just gone against your way of doing things….which is inconsequential.

he shared some stuff that you don't approve of….but which he has authority to do so.

 

So now you think he's gonna fire off some nukes…without checking with you.

And precisely where did I infer that he needed to check with me? Talk about leaps. You are deflecting and refusing to answer my argument. I already acknowledged that he had to authority, then used a simple example to illustrate why doing so was probably not the wisest thing he could have done. As you usually do, you spout some ridiculous drivel but refuse to directly answer any direct arguments. On numerous occasions, you have been provided with facts by a variety of individuals on TV, all of which you consistently ignore, spout some childish nonsense, then try to change the subject. Typical trumpette. Pathetic.

"Hasn't broken any laws?"  Well there's the ongoing investigations regarding collusion, obstruction, and now, corruption....

I agree with Usernames about Comey's notes.  They were produced while on the job, not after he was fired.  Therefore, they are federal property and Comey could(?) be guilty of leaking federal property.  

[F4UCorsair]

Can we have an end to the patronizing/ condescending, "What part of ............. don't you get/understand"?

 

It's so passe, and just plain silly.

 

I think this thread has run its course, same old lines being regurgitated.

Can you cite a law against "leaking federal property"?  Here - this might help:

 

Trump's real estate lawyer says Comey violated executive privilege by "leaking" his personal notes. Ten legal experts say he didn't.

Here's another that might help you.

 

18 U.S.C. § 641 provides that it is a federal crime to, without authority, convey a record of the United States, in this case an FBI record he admits under oath he leaked after being fired.”
