  1. President Trump wanted James Comey to investigate the infamous “pee tape” allegations — to reassure Melania that he hadn’t actually paid Russian hookers to urinate on a hotel bed, the former FBI chief claims in his upcoming book.

    “He brought up what he called the ‘golden showers thing’ … adding that it bothered him if there was ‘even a one percent chance’ his wife, Melania, thought it was true,” Comey writes in “A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies, and Leadership,” a copy of which was obtained by The Post.

    “He just rolled on, unprompted, explaining why it couldn’t possibly be true, ending by saying he was thinking of asking me to investigate the allegation to prove it was a lie. I said it was up to him.”

    The conversation took place during the same private dinner on Jan. 27, 2017, where Comey has claimed the president demanded “loyalty” — and just days after the publication of an intelligence dossier alleging that the Kremlin had a tape of Trump paying prostitutes to perform the dirty deed on a bed once occupied by President Obama.

    Comey says he warned Trump an investigation might “create a narrative that we were investigating him personally,” the former top G-man writes.

    The president replied that he “might be right” — but kept asking him to consider the idea, and said he would as well, according to Comey.

    Comey said he privately wondered why Melania might think there was even a 1 percent chance the allegations were true, claiming there is “zero chance” his own wife would believe such a claim.

    “In what kind of marriage, to what kind of man, does a spouse conclude there is only a 99 percent chance her husband didn’t do that?” he writes in the book, which hits shelves April 17.

    I heard that they may be trying get him on charges of fraud as a result of lying to the bank as to the original reason given for the loan. The hope I would assume is that leveraging him will result on him providing some salacious info on Trump.

     

    So he's getting popped on his HELOC? LOL. If that's the primary leverage point, I think we will all be disappointed. I want the pee tapes.

    \comeytalk Yeah, I think you're making a shit-ton of assumptions, Anastasis, but this is obviously not going to be resolved here.

    Fair enough, but I do not think that I have made a single unreasonable assumption in that post.

    I make gumbo fairly often. I started doing the roux via Alton's oven method for a few years because it is so easy, but the last few times I've gone back to the stove top method.

     

    The oven is just too slow. I can do it on the stove in about 30 - 40 minutes but the oven takes about two hours.

     

    The oven method IS foolproof - as long as you keep your oven at 350', it won't burn. But if you keep an eye on it, the stovetop is much faster.

     

     

    I mentioned this earlier I think, but next time I think a hybrid approach might be ideal.  Get it 90% of the way there, and they fine tune in on that perfect dark roux on the flame.

    You keep banging that drum that the Steele Dossier is Russian deza and there's simply no evidence for it. If it's Russian deza, it's completely ineffective, because a lot of it has been held up as true and it's very derogatory information for Vlad to have out in the open.

    Putin killed multiple people for talking to Chris Steele. It's a safe assumption that the information and documents they gave Steele are not things Putin wanted to see the light. Hence, that person no longer sees any light. 

    You are confused.  I am not talking about the Dossier. I am talking about the Russian intelligence materials that were inserted into the FBI, and that influenced Comey's decision making. Do a search for the WaPo series that covered this topic and come back to the discussion.

    So you believe Comey was influenced by the Russians more than AG Lynch, his then current boss?(Edit: maybe sarcasm detector adjustment is necessary?

    LOL,  I think that Bubba and Lynch's tarmac meeting influenced his decision making.  As did documents inserted into the FBI by a Russian intelligence operation. I wouldn't make qualitative assessments about more or less, but its all part of the toxic milieu that he was wading around in.

    Perhaps.  But was Comey influenced to reach the conclusion he reached?  Would Mueller have reached the same conclusion?  Would he have given Samuelson, etc,  and the rest immunity like Comey/Lynch?  I think not given the way he has executed, thus far, the Independent council investigations.  

    He was influencee by a Russian intelligence operation.  No shit.  His decision making was compromised by Russia.  But Hugo gonna white knight his ass.
