That is not what he said.
He specifically said he cannot support any of Trump's claims.
He didnt deny them. He had his opportunity.

These questions from Adam Schiff are absurd. No facts just asking what Comey might think that Russia thinks.

Funny how he can't deny that either.
How exactly was he asked the question?
Of course he cannot deny that Trump was wire tapped. Obama himself could have snuck in there and did it.
No one in their right mind, except maybe Trump, believes that is possible however.

I have to ask, would he have tweeted any such thing on March 4 (I just found out I was wire tapped by Obama) when everyone knew via the Slimes back in January that his campaign had been under investigation?
He knew long ago. He waited for a reason to make a stink about it. He's screwing around with people before he hangs them out to dry. And frankly, I love it.
Actually, he made this tweet to deflect against some other stupid thing he did. He's done so many I can't remember which one it was.
Anyway, this too backfired on him. The man keeps shooting himself in the foot.
I predicted this would happen even before he was elected.
No. He made the tweet because he heard Bret Baier say it on Fox 'news' the night before.

Starting to think you hit the nail on the head here. There's only a couple of questions that the American public that need to be answered.
What's on the Flynn tape?
What was found on the Trump campaign surveillance?
Who submitted the FISA requests when Obama was president?
Nobody has asked either question and frankly speaking I don't expect them to ask. So far the Q&A has been almost all political propping up the Russia conspiracy. Gowdy started to go down the road on the FISA requests but we can't get a straight answer.
I don't think that there's a damn thing on either that ties Trump to Russia. Otherwise it would be out by now. Democrats continue to push the "coincidences" as evidence to links. This hearing is just another tool to that end.

And Comey is saying FISA requests should be secret and only disclosed in the most unusual circumstances without specifically saying this is one.

RE: LIVE: James Comey Testifies On President Trump Wiretapping Claims & Russian Interfere
Sewell : "Does the Emoluments Clause apply to retired generals"
Comey: "I don't know"
Sewell : "Given that it does ....."
===
In reality the Emoluments Clause does not apply to retired military personnel.
“since 1906, there have been at least six federal officers who have accepted the (Nobel) Prize while serving in their elected or appointed offices. The Peace Prize has been received by two other sitting Presidents — Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson — by a sitting Vice President, Secretary of State, Senator, and by a retired General of the Army.”
It's kind of funny that, at the end of the day, "muh russians" has had to take their targets off of trump and instead are shooting for someone who Trump *fired* for lying.

Quote:TRUMP: I do. I do. But I think that frankly we have a lot right now. And I think if you watch -- if you watched the Bret Baier and what he was saying and what he was talking about and how he mentioned the word wiretap, you would feel very confident that you could mention the name. He mentioned it. And other people have mentioned it. But if you take a look at some of the things written about wiretapping and eavesdropping --
And don't forget, when I say wiretapping, those words were in quotes. That really covers, because wiretapping is pretty old fashioned stuff. But that really covers surveillance and many other things. And nobody ever talks about the fact that it was in quotes, but that's a very important thing.
But wiretap covers a lot of different things. I think you're going to find some very interesting items coming to the forefront over the next two weeks.
Donald Trump’s explanation of his wire-tapping tweets will shock and amaze you

Trump needs to put an end to at least SOME this and declassify the FISA request.

I assume you agree with the author. How did Moscow carry out an attack on our democracy?
What attack on our democracy was carried out by Moscow? Simple question. Can you answer it?
I guess this one got glossed over?

Investigation into Trump started in July, before he clinched the nomination. WTF?

RE: LIVE: James Comey Testifies On President Trump Wiretapping Claims & Russian Interfere
Still lost.
FACT---There is a continuing investigation regarding the Trump campaign and the Russian government.
FACT-The investigation has been going on since July of last year.
FACT-There is a tape transcript of Flynn, a Trump staffer, talking with the Russian Ambassador.
FACT-Thus far, this EIGHT month investigation has yielded no evidence of any collusion.
CLAIM-There is no evidence of any tapping or surveillance of Trump or his campaign.
Those facts don't fit the evidence. Frankly, how do you "investigate" a relationship between the Trump organization and the Russian government without any kind of surveillance? How do you have a tape transcript without surveillance. The "no surveillance" claim sounds pretty far fetched to me--especially given the tools wikileaks has recently released.
