I doubt it. There is no reason to.

Notice that no one is interested in Benghazi anymore?

He might use it as a distraction from the Russian investigation.

He might go after Clinton just because he's a vindictive asshat, too. Remember; Trump's general operating philosophy is "always get even" for any perceived slight. Clinton had the audacity to run against him. That is enough.

I would not put that past him, but I think getting Comey out of the way was a delaying tactic because the FBI (and others) were closing in.

If Trump actually IS innocent, he acts as guilty as anyone I've even seen who is.

For her public Perjury, or for the National Security Violations?

So many choices. Seems a full review of the Clinton Investigation is in order, by the Justice Department, along with the acting FBI Director, who remains in place, and has full access to the evidence.

Maybe a Special Prosecutor is warranted to resolve Clinton's matters. Such an appointment would allow full access into Obama Administration actions, or any inactions, and a full vetting of all involved, with no pressure as to time table.

Attorney General Sessions has recused himself from the Clinton matter.

As for the timing, was just yesterday, or the day prior, when Clapper, under oath before Congress, stated that no evidence of collusion, no evidence of any Trump involvement with Russians to effect the 2016 Election has been found.

This allowed some distance for the Trump Administration, as recommended by the Assistant Attorney General, and with Agreement of the Attorney General, to act and remove James Comey from office.

Seems there have been bipartisan calls from Congress for such action, and the time for leadership on this issue was now.

Trump just fired FBI director James Comey.  Is this so he can go after HRC for her emails?

Sure. How about another 8 investigations which find the same thing as the previous 8, no evidence of wrong doing.

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting a different outcome.


But I'm certain a show trial like that done by the Nazis or the Soviets would satisfy you.

He did? I haven't heard or read about this. Once again; source please.

Clapper did not say anything in open testimony clearing the trump campaign of collusion with the Russians.

Clapper took that talking point away, during his testimony on Monday. Clapper is on record acknowledging that he was not aware of the FBI’s investigation of contacts between Trump associates and Russia that FBI director James Comey disclosed during his testimony before the House intelligence committee. So if he wasn’t aware of the investigation, it stands to reason that when Clapper told Todd he was unaware of any evidence of collusion, he was speaking accurately. On Monday, he told the Senate subcommittee that he was not in a position to know with certainty.

Corn went on to note that Clapper confirmed that US intelligence agencies have possessed secret information about ties between Trump’s circle and Moscow since late 2015. Clapper described a report by the Guardian on this matter, published last month, as “accurate”.

Actually he did say this, but he also said he was unaware of any investigation concerning same.  In other words, he was out of the loop.  So his words don't mean much.

As for Joan being upset about public perjury, why don't we hold Trump to the same standards?  Count the lies.  There is really no comparison.

Se my post above yours. It details the statements and following clarifications that Clapper made.

He has stated that there is reason to believe there was collusion between the trump campaign and the Russians.

Sorry, Lois: Clapper's exact quote is in the article below, and he most certainly DID NOT say what Joan (or Trump, or Trump's spokespeople) claimed he said. Katiebee got it right. His exact words are contained in the article linked below, but this summarizes it accurately:

Quote
President Donald Trump and right-wing media obfuscated comments that former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper made during his May 8 congressional testimony about possible collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russian government. Clapper said he was not aware of evidence of such collusion, and Trump and commentators cast that comment as indication that there was no collusion. However, as others noted, just because Clapper wasn’t privy to any such evidence does not mean it doesn’t exist.

Here's the game the way it's being played:

Interviewer: "Northwest, are you aware if Joan finished high school?"

Northwest: "No. I know nothing about that."

Headlines the next day: "Northwest testifies under oath - Joan didn't finish high school"

----

The exact words are everything to understanding the meaning, and Trump is CLEARLY distorting the meaning of Clapper's comments. To what effect, one has to wonder, since it makes Trump look guilty as hell. If Trump was in the clear, why the hell would he need to distort everything that is being said?

  Can anyone here name ONE Russian that Trump spoke with at all, that in any way gave Russia any advantage at all, during the Primary or General Election in 2015 and 2016? Please give us that name... just one, and some detail about the speaking by Donald Trump...

Collusion does not require that Trump actively spoke with any rush. It only requires that he knew that his campaign was engaged with the Russians, cooperating with them, and that he approved of it, or at the very least did not stop it.

Please NAME ONE Russian who benefited in some manner from Trump during the Primary or General Election period in 2015 and 2016.  Thank you.

Oh, please include a list of the names of Clinton associates and campaign staff who communicated with Russians during the same time period.

For this purpose WikiLeaks does not count... we already know Clinton folks were chatting them up regularly, and one paid with his life, seems.

Arkancide.
