Prresident Donald Trump is not happy with FBI Director James Comey for not arresting former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

In an interview with Fox Business, host Maria Bartiromo claimed that many people don’t understand why there are still so many appointees or staff from President Barack Obama’s administration. She was specifically talking about Comey. Still, Trump expressed confidence in the embattled director.

“When Jim Comey came out, he saved Hillary Clinton. He saved her life,” referring to Comey’s declaration that he would not be charging Clinton with a crime.

“When he was reading those charges, she was guilty of every charge, and then he said she was essentially OK,” Trump continued.

1. methinks the republican PeeFreak* is projecting again

* and Draft Dodger, and Tax Dodger.

[dalton99a]

17. Yep. Every single time.

[calimary]

38. Yep.

[still_one]

2. Isn't it time to sue this POS.

[DK504]

32. Is it time for the Governmental

Shrinks to step in? The 25th needs to be invoked.

[still_one]

34. You're right

[exboyfil]

3. God I am so hoping that Hillary Clinton

says bring it on. The statute of limitations has not tolled.

I wish she would come out with a statement to the effect that "The President has continued to slander and libel me. While I am a public figure my legal options are limited, the fact that the Trump Justice department has not pursued any charges is indicative of how I have done nothing warranting prosecution let alone conviction."

[George II]

13. I think she would be wiser to publicly ignore his comments -

the lack of FBI and DOJ actions speak volumes.

On the other hand, trump is a walking crime wave with fraud and law violations left and right.

[maddiemom]

23. I agree...

and I'm sure she has too much class to stoop to Trump's level. Then again, so have most public figures.

[AJT]

29. I guess crime pays. Nothing is happening to him.

[calimary]

39. Agreed. She should stay above it all.

Let him rant. He sees the Carter Page problem. He's seeing the Steve Bannon problem. Operation Walls-Closing-In.

This isn't working out the way he assumed it would because he assumed it was just like running his private little self-owned "empire." You can dictate in that set of circumstances. You can do anything you want. Snap your fingers and the sycophants all scramble and bow and scrape. Say anything and they'll all nod and fawn. Screw people over and then say "sue me!" because you know they can't. Reneg on deals because you know your lawyers will get you out of it (and besides, your victims can't do anything to you. They don't have your reputed deep pockets). File for bankruptcy if you need an easy out (there'll always be somebody else who'll lend you money. Consequences? WHAT consequences? Don't they realize WHO YOU ARE???).

In your own cozy little private cloistered empire where only your family can tread, everything is controllable and managed. Easy-peasy. Everything goes your way. Outsiders coming in, and the "rabble" out there in the rest of the country that "simply doesn't get it" - well - that's something else altogether.

He can't control this.

He's used to controlling everything. Having EVERYTHING go his way. Having ANYTHING HE SAYS just magically, automatically, be exactly as he says it is.

But this world he's in now - doesn't respond. Doesn't behave the same way. Doesn't even HAVE TO. The objectors actually have standing, and clout, and teeth. And he not only does NOT own them, nor do they all work for him, nor are they all obligated to him in some way, nor do they all need jobs from him (that he's eventually going to stiff them on and they have no recourse), but they don't even HAVE TO. The press doesn't have to. The voters don't have to. The Democrats don't have to. And their supporters don't have to, either. NOBODY has to bow to him and make excuses for him and cover for him in this realm.

When the usual templates don't fit anymore, he's out of his element.

And it won't work. More people are getting wise to his tricks. I posted this somewhere else, earlier. I went to an Indivisible meeting last weekend. The Syria bombing had already happened. There wasn't one person in the room who believed it was anything other than a deflection/distraction tactic. Not ONE person in there was fooled. That's gonna spread. Especially after we all eventually saw it was an utterly meaningless gesture, and it didn't stop Assad from doing his dirty stuff again the very next day.

[NastyRiffraff]

47. This post needs to be an OP

It deserves greater exposure. You've said what I've been thinking, but much more eloquently.

[JHan]

52. yup

[JHan]

51. make a post out of this so I can rec it.

[pangaia]

28. I disagree.

She should either stay out of it, OR if she were to go after him, do it full bore and not so politely.

Wake up America, trump is a narcissistic, ignorant, illiterate, sex-addicted, psychopathic, lie-addicted, frightened con-man.


Or something to that effect.


What did I leave out?

[PJMcK]

62. He's an idiot (n/t)

[pangaia]

72. Thanks. LOL!!

[cab67]

4. This probably isn't actionable slander...

...on the grounds that Hillary Clinton is a public figure and lots of people have said what Lord Dampnut said.

But this isn't the first time the Damp Lord has called people criminals with no basis. He refuses to acknowledge that the Central Park Five were wrongfully convicted, for example, and is on record saying he still thinks they're guilty.

It's a matter of time before he slanders an innocent person who isn't a public figure and ends up in court. (Or, more likely, settles before it gets that far.)

[SCVDem]

5. Is there a lawyer in the house?

I seem to recall laws against libel, defamation and false accusations under the color of authority.

What happened to suing dumps ass off?

I can't believe the 1st protects against public proclamations of guilt by anyone in charge.

[Mc Mike]

6. The stench of desperation from dRumpf and Fox is overwhelming.

[Javaman]

7. I think he's a late night boozer...

...and insane.

[Loubee]

8. Maria just smiles and looks pretty

while the illegitimate president speaks of jailing his political opponent.

[stonecutter357]

9. putin's puffer did what?

[safeinOhio]

10. This from a man that

hides his taxes?

[Freethinker65]

11. The Art of Deflection using tiny hands, finger paints, and a bib

[bucolic_frolic]

12. "she was guilty of every charge"

How does this differ from, say, the Daily Mail's accusations about Mrs. Trump?

[dalton99a]

16. Bingo.

[exboyfil]

19. It is actually much worse

given his position.

Clinton and Rice should pursue a slander and libel lawsuit.

It seems impeachable to me.

[Demit]

26. One is a muckraking newspaper, the other a supposed leader of the free world.

One is expected to get down in the mud, because its mission is to sell newspapers; the other is expected to act with dignity, because he or she is the symbol of a nation.

[lapucelle]

63. Trump is such an ass.

There were no charges.

[itcfish]

14. Jailing Clinton

on what charges? Losing to him and letting him ruin the nation?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

21. tRump LOST the popular vote. He's the Minority President and that fact irks him. . . . nt

[JHan]

56. voters allowed him to ruin the country okay?

VOTERS.

[L. Coyote]

15. Comey is in charge of the Trump criminal investigation.

That must be getting under his orange peel.

[treestar]

18. What charges?

Why is he still obsessing over Hillary?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

20. Minority President trying to distract from #TrumpRussia again; news today about Carter Page. . nt

[JHan]

54. yes and playing to his base.

[sinkingfeeling]

22. Spoken like a true dictator. Only he knows what the crimes were and

can assign quilt.

24. Urban Dictionary Projection

Last edited Wed Apr 12, 2017, 01:25 PM - Edit history (1)

Projection
Projection (Psychological)

1) An unconscious self-defence mechanism characterised by a person unconsciously attributing their own issues onto someone or something else as a form of delusion and denial.

2) A way to blame others for your own negative thoughts by repressing them and then attributing them to someone else. Due to the sorrowful nature of delusion and denial it is very difficult for the target to be able to clarify the reality of the situation.

3) A way to transfer guilt for your own thoughts, emotions and actions onto another as a way of not admitting your guilt to yourself.

[calimary]

37. Beautiful!

That's EXACTLY what it is. She's not guilty of ANYTHING and everybody with a handle on reality knows it. The haters? Meh - shake the dirt off your sandals and move ahead.

[Juliusseizure]

46. Narcissists engage in projection

Just did a quick Wikipedia check on narcissists. They are prone to projection as part of their shaming of people who question their sense of superiority.

[Sunlei]

25. see the way a "fox interview" creates a "breaking news headline" with all Rs smear taking points?

They're really good at dominating "breaking news headlines" on aggregate news message boards.

[ck4829]

27. Didn't Trump himself say that Hillary was no longer an issue?

[C_U_L8R]

30. What a dope.

Trump is such an ass. A real world-class moron.

[Paladin]

31. Slander, defamation of character.

I wish Hillary would sue the bastard.

[forgotmylogin]

44. Notice how she doesn't, and it takes the air out of his balloon?

Responding to baseless charges gives them credence. That's what Trump doesn't understand.

[Paladin]

64. Passive-aggressive subtleties are wasted on trump and his hordes.

They're not smart enough or sane enough to appreciate their full effect. That's the way it is with the right wing: eventually you have to get down on their level to do some lasting damage.

[leftyladyfrommo]

33. I wish someone would come out and say what those charges were.

As far as I know there were never any charges brought against her. Just a bunch of false news empty allegations.

One report I saw this morning somewhere said that Trump is very aware of his poll numbers. And he is very aware that they are really, really low.

So when nothing else is working just start in on Clinton and Obama. This is so odd considering that he is racking up multiple reasons to start impeachment proceedings against him.

[yallerdawg]

35. It's actually frightening to see a person in his position...

to have so little regard for Constitutional rights and the rule of law.

I don't recall anyone outside of dictators and tyrants who decreed so many individual citizens as guilty of crimes they haven't even been charged with!

[vlyons]

36. This is a distraction

Trump has been successful in getting us to stop talkng about Carter Page and Russiagate. Perhaps you noticed that everytime that fool does an interview, he says something stupidly outrageous, and then MSMedia run off to talk about his craziness rather than talking about Russiagate. Don't fall for his diversions.

[JHan]

58. He's also playing to his base.. "Lock her up" was one of his election promises..

He always knew that was full of shit, so he's providing cover for one of his numerous failures as president.

Lettuce count the ways of fail:



He needs to be double dared to fire Comey. His bluff should be called out.

[sprinkleeninow]

65. That is IT. eom

[asiliveandbreathe]

40. Can't wait for Comey to read the charges against this POS...

Will Comey save trump and co. becz trump seems to be preempting anything Comey might have..."well, you didn't charge Hillary" - this guy (trumpster) has no morals...

[Nitram]

41. Trump's panicked hysteria is music to my ears.

[MarinCoUSA]

42. "No reasonable attorney would bring this case to trial" is what he said Orange Pustule Hitler

Not the ignorant, stupid, vile you spewed you ignorant stupid vulgar Orange Pustule Hitler.

[Bengus81]

43. Trump....you are one SICK,SICK man. Go get FUCKING help somewhere......

What else does he obsess about 24/7--seeing his daughter nude??

[Vinca]

45. How much longer do we have to put up with this? The man is batshit crazy on a good day.

[truthisfreedom]

48. 45 is not the person to select a better FBI chief. Whose job is that?

[cstanleytech]

49. No you twit, she was never in "any" danger of going to jail but Comey did

do something and that is he saved your bacon by releasing that bullshit about more emails and for that you should be on your hands and knees thanking him for his assistance and support.

[lark]

50. POS!

That's all he is, a lying, whining, mean, treasonous piece of shit. He blames others for things he's done and does this all the time. Clinton isn't a traitor, Clinton isn't a criminal or a fraud and doesn't cheat everyone she comes into contact with. That's Drumpf himself, all the way every day. He just makes me sick at my stomach and still have a hard time believing this whole thing is real.

[Doodley]

53. Motivated by the poll that shows Hillary Clinton and Obama is more popular than Trump

[cstanleytech]

70. I think at this point even GWB is more popular than Trump and I never thought that GWB would ever

poll ahead of anyone else in my lifetime.

[HockeyMom]

55. The Donald is batting ZERO

Hillary, The Wall, Trumpcare, bla, bla, bla. He even has his Russian Good Buddies mad at him.

[LisaM]

57. How was this ever a thing? I am so effing tired of this.

One of the most talented and committed and qualified public servants this country - and our party - has ever had, and she's had to relentlessly endure this garbage since at least 1992.

Sure, it's projection, and sure it's ridiculous, but it once more brings up the anti-Hillary narrative that so many delight in. There are days when I simply can't bear it.

[Permanut]

59. Not only guilty of every charge..

but to my knowledge, she has never produced a birth certificate.

[Juliusseizure]

60. The more he talks the better

As fear inducing and gross as it is, his narcissism/sociopathy or whatever you want to call it makes him say things that reveal his intent. He doesn't seem able to anticipate the reaction. It's helpful to know his thought process.

Now the media, public, opponents, and his advisors can anticipate his next moves and proactively react to them, deter and educate him about the risks. Even Bannon and Spicer should expect to be fired- has any of his employees lasted very long?

Even Comey. Has he heard of the Saturday Night Massacre? I fully anticipate his firing if the investigation doesn't go his way. The worst that could happen is he's forced to resign early and then pardoned. Better than having all that damaging information brought our.

[LOL Lib]

61. It will be sweet and beautiful day when Trump dies or is hauled to jail.

[CBHagman]

66. There are multiple bizarre aspects to that interview, to judge by the transcript.

First off, surely Maria Bartiromo realizes FBI directors serve for 10-year terms, and Comey has announced his intention to finish his term. And I'd question her judgment for choosing to ask if it was a mistake for Trump not to ask Comey to step down. She's just reinforcing the notion that law enforcement is a political tool to be wielded by the administration.

Anyway, plenty of bizarre stuff at the link below.

[ExciteBike66]

67. It's great that the President of the United States

is now deciding guilty verdicts against private American citizens before trial, indeed even before indictment!

Typical dictator move from our wanna-be dictator...

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

68. Can the President be sued

For slander?

[nikibatts]

69. He must be getting worried about going to jail himself. Still pushing his fake news shit.

[pansypoo53219]

71. pandering to his trumpets. he needs to feed the haters.
