And the best part...
4) It was the firing of James Comey which directly caused the appointment of Muellar.

Somewhat true, Trump has even said "“I might even lengthen out the investigation” with Comey's firing, but Trump also thought everyone including the left would cheer the firing and on that he miscalculated as the original Senate testimonies etc was actually on Hilary's hacked emails and not Trump/Russian collusion. In the end it was still most likely good Comey was fired and Mueliar took over as flaky as Comey acted in many areas.

Both Sessions nor Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein raised any concerns about Comey’s firing. Comey was fired by Trump because on a number of occasions Comey lied and did some shady things, so ya he pissed off Trump.

Quite the contrary actually. It was the Dems idea originally, to fire James "the weasel" Comey;

Months before President Donald Trump fired James Comey, Democrats had called for the dismissal of the FBI director in reaction to his handling of an investigation into Hillary Clinton’s emails that some believe negatively impacted her presidential campaign.

News article

So, why the confusion?

Because Dems always project, misdirect and lie.

That's why.

It's quite common these days, for the general public to be completely uninformed. Most of what they have been taught is deliberately wrong. This agenda goes back decades, and has been persistent in creeping back from time to time when the left assumes such has been forgotten.

It really is staggering. It almost makes me think she's a Republican plant.

Almost. Sadly there really are people that ill-informed.

That is why Trump was surprised with their reactions after they screamed for his removal.

As to why? It wasn't some Russian/Trump collusion as much as this below led to the firing after 4 months of Comey doing some concerning things.

Whys

1. Comey testified that it gave him a “queasy feeling” when then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch directed him to publicly refer to the Hillary Clinton classified email investigation as a “matter.” Yet, he did so anyway and did not raise objections.

2. Comey’s FBI, including allegedly his general counsel, was responsible for multiple leaks to the press with the apparent goal of politically helping Clinton or harming Trump. On the other hand, the FBI kept a closely-held secret any information that was favorable to Trump — such as the fact that Comey repeatedly told Trump he wasn’t under investigation.

3. Top FBI officials working under Comey conspired to develop an “insurance plan” in the event Trump were to be elected. (One possible implication is that they could not afford to have Trump officials poking around into what they or other U.S. intel agencies had been doing over the years.)

4. We now know that Comey apparently delayed notifying Congress that the FBI had discovered Hillary Clinton emails on the personal computer of soon-to-be convicted sexter Anthony Weiner (then husband of Clinton’s top aide, Huma Abedin), prior to the election.

5. Comey demonstrated bias or questionable judgment in selecting the man he trusted as his number two in February 2016: Andrew McCabe. Comey allowed McCabe to be involved in the FBI investigations into the Clinton Foundation and Clinton classified emails even though McCabe’s wife had received large sums of donor money from Clinton interests, including those of then-Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe, who also was under FBI investigation at the time. (The FBI granted top Clinton staff immunity from prosecution, didn’t record her interview, drafted an exoneration letter in advance, and ultimately excused Clinton’s mishandling of classified information as not being willful.)

6. Comey allowed McCabe’s involvement in the Clinton-related investigations to continue until the week before the 2016 election. Only then did McCabe “recuse himself” after a Wall Street Journal article about the donations to McCabe’s wife. (McCabe has said he followed proper procedures and did nothing wrong.)

7. McCabe says he told Comey in October 2016 that he — McCabe — had authorized a leak of sensitive information to the Wall Street Journal shortly before the election. The Department of Justice’s Inspector General has since found the leak was to advance McCabe’s own interests and was in violation of FBI policy. (Comey says he doesn’t recall McCabe telling him this.)

8. After the election, Comey informed President-elect Trump about the lurid allegations against him in the so-called “Steele dossier,” but admitted in an interview this week that he withheld from Trump the fact that it was opposition research paid for by Hillary Clinton.

9. While acknowledging the “Steele dossier” contained “salacious and unverified” material, knowing it was produced with help from an ex-foreign spy and understanding that it relied on primary sources who were said to be close to Russian President Vladimir Putin, Comey apparently did not open an investigation into this effort to impact the U.S. election and undermine the American president.

10. Comey’s FBI used the “Steele dossier” to justify wiretaps before and after the election on an American citizen who was a Trump associate without disclosing that the “evidence” was political opposition research paid for by Trump’s opponent. This appears to be a violation of the FBI’s “Woods Procedures,” and possibly other policies.

11. Comey testified that after he was fired from the FBI, he secretly engineered a leak of FBI material to the New York Times for the political goal of prompting appointment of a special counsel to investigate Trump.

12. Comey has publicly disclosed content of private, personal conversations with President Trump, such as discussions about Trump’s wife’s feelings.

To back this up with the last election results.

28% voted for Hillary
27% voted for Trump
44% didn't vote for neither

Funny how that all matches up.

Almost like it means something, eh?

As we move into the next election we have 44% that may not vote again or might look at where the democrat party is going with people like AOC and say Hmmm Trump doesn't look so bad now compared to that and he actually did good these last 4 years.

We will see.

I think that's exactly what will happen too. Sometimes it's like the idiots on the left are trying to hand Trump the election on a silver platter! There's a huge divide within the left that isn't going away. It's just growing. And there will be those who vote third party, vote for Trump, or don't vote for prez at all. It can only help Trump and hurt the Dems.

Denying that Clapper said that Obama requested this intelligence assessment? Really? Who denies he said that?
www.dni.gov...

Always good to read it from the horses mouth. This current layout of events is quite biased. I don't see it as Obama specifically tried to tie Trump to Putin... nor do I see Trump being directly tied to Putin. It seems more like the Russians made their own evaluation on what would be the best option for them, and simply went down that road.
They didn't have to contact their favourite and make a deal... they didn't have to.

From the report:

We did not make an assessment of the impact that Russian activities had on the outcome of the 2016 election.

We also assess Putin and the Russian Government aspired to help President-elect Trump’s election chances when possible by discrediting Secretary Clinton and publicly contrasting her unfavorably to him.

Just like I didn't have to contact Clinton to make a deal with her about highlighting the bad things about Trump... we just... do it. So the collusion was like everyone said; non-existant. It's just a political chess game and poor those who aren't on the side of those who seek to influence something to their benefit.

Next election, Trump will have the intelligence do a new report and they will come to a similar conclusion. That the Russians sought to affect the public opinion through online propaganda.

Imagine one day that people might actually start looking at what politicians do and have done, instead of what they say. I'm just being naive...

You might want to read further back for context.

The border has been an issue for decades. The wall is being built, and Mexico has agreed to stop illegal immigrants before they get to their northern border. Trump used the threat of tariffs on Mexico to finally get them to take action. We needed Mexico aboard to make a real change, and Trump's heavy hand negotiated the deal masterfully.

Obama paid Iran off with pallets of cash. That is not a well-negotiated, sustainable deal. Anybody can bribe a country to do something. Trump is still working on Iran, the outcome has yet to be decided. Iran was 10 minutes from receiving a fresh load of tomahawk missiles. The only reason I see that Trump didn't follow through is if the tanker attacks aren't truly confirmed to be from Iran, and/or if the drone was actually in Iranian airspace, or maybe a deal is closer than we know behind the scenes.

The threat of tariffs has been a successful negotiating strategy. Trump's reputation for being a masterful deal maker has proven true.

As long as Mullers Special Council was going on the previous administration was safe, able to defend themselves with Obstruction charges if Sessions or Barr tried to move during the special council. Now the mueller report itself is unearthing evidence to be used in the upcoming coup case. IG reports are coming soon, and then if nothing happens you can say there's nothing there on Clinton or Obama.

There are so many revelations, from so many sources, going back many months. It's a travesty that A.G. Barr and his DOJ team can't cough up just 1 indictment.

Never rush an investigation especially one this serious . Barr needs to make sure he has all his T’s crossed and I’s dotted . If you’re going to prosecute embedded corruption make damn sure you don’t make any mistakes.

Everyone needs to think about the permanent mark this is going to leave on history. If the US is still around in 500 years this will be pointed out like Benedict Arnold and held up as possibly the darkest point in our nations history .

The Liberals own the media and the education system and have brainwashed a good portion of the populace. I’ve said for a while Trump could very well be our last chance to stop the progressives onslaught. If destruction of the deep state doesn’t happen now there’s a good chance Democrats will gain power for decades .

^^^^ that sincerely scares the bejesus out of me because it is a distinct possibility .

With each passing week of this, I lose a little more hope and confidence that Barr is the deep-state drainer we hoped he was.

Each passing week could also benefit us . The closer indictments and perp walks come to the general election the happier I will be .

This letter from 23 Congressmen asking President Trump to do what Barr is refusing to do, is not a good look for our A.G. either.

I’ve got wood over wanting to read all of those texts.

But there’s a nation changing investigation going on .

We can’t let the cat out of the bag .

The headline published on AmericanJournalReview.com says, "James Clapper Flips On Live TV, Admits Obama Behind Entire Russia Witch Hunt! (Video)."

This story was flagged as part of Facebook’s efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed. (Read more about our partnership with Facebook.)

www.politifact.com...

The article wrongly conflates the Obama-directed intelligence assessment with Mueller’s investigation of possible collusion by members of Trump’s campaign.

You know full well those two are biased as hell, Phage.

This is very old news. Big, but old. Clapper said this in july of 2018.

Now, the american thinker article you reference does a good job of putting the pieces together.

Believing in Liberty by definition makes one a liberal. Sillyolme is correct on this one, most of us red blooded Americans are as liberal as it gets.

Your point of contention is what kind of liberal are you. But why is anyone still arguing about labels at this point? Has your narrative honestly not advanced at all?

It isn't about Trump. He's just the stooge sitting in office while the coup unfolds. Unfortunately for him he makes a good target. That being said, tarnishing the office of the Presidency and stripping it down makes much more sense.

Alinsky at it's best.

The black guy is gone. Get over it.

When Clapper threw Obama under the bus, the news media immediately, collectively, pulled one of their fake anti-Trump articles out their war chest, and made it the #1 blockbuster for 24 hours. The MSM did not cover it at all...not even FoxNews. I don't even remember Hannity discussing this Clapper bombshell admission.
