Congressman DeSaulnier’s Statement Following Comey Hearing

by ECT

Washington, DCCongressman Mark DeSaulnier (CA-11) issued the following statement on former FBI Director James Comey’s testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee.

“Under oath and with America watching, Director Comey delivered an honest, credible, and rational explanation of the unprecedented nine private interactions he had with President Trump. He built a strong case for possible collusion, and clearly exposed that the President lied about the motives behind his firing. He also confirmed that Russia launched a ‘massive effort’ to interfere with the United States election and advised ‘they’ll be back.’ We are at a critical point in history in which Congress has a moral authority to thoroughly investigate and get to the truth to protect both the American people and our Constitution,” said Congressman DeSaulnier.

Actually congressman, I didn’t get any of that from his testimony today. Were we watch the same testimony???? Or were you watching some previous discussion on CNN? This press release of yours not only proves that you did not watch it but probably had this pre-release typed up before the testimony was even given. I personally cannot wait for you to get voted out of office so we can get a real congressman/woman in there who is actually for the people and not some partisan hack.

For those of you that did not watch it, I found a list online of things that we actually did learn today had you been able to watch all of Comey’s testimony:

1. Trump was never under investigation.
2. Trump did not obstruct justice.
3. Trump did not collude with Russia.
4. Russia did not alter the election outcome.
5. Comey leaked his own memo.
6. Loretta Lynch pressured Comey to cover for Hillary Clinton.
7. There was ample evidence to put Hillary in jail but Comey chose not to pursue it.
8. CNN and other fake news outlets have been lying / making things up this entire time.
9. The Democratic Party no longer has the ability to scream “RUSSIA” every time Trump tries to do something.
10. The Russia story is dead – any democrat who continue to push it will look foolish and insane to the American people.

Thank you for providing the actual facts as stated by Comey that cleared President Trump of all the lies by the MSM and the crackpot Liberals.

I don’t understand why East County Today continues to print press releases from Mark DeSaulnier because the man keeps providing over and over that he is a delusional moron. When you slither along the ground like these folks it’s only a matter of time before they get crushed!!!!

Thank you for an honest recap D.

I’m cannot bring myself to watch fake news or read fake news (Contra Costa times and Press newspapers). I can honestly say if you are reading it in the papers, it probably isn’t true-especially the editorials. They flat out, make things up. This has been my personal experience, not once but many times. This is why most credible elected leaders I know, refuse to talk with them. Think about it.

I was also present at the inauguration earlier this year. Again, I can personally verify with photo evidence that CNN and the post was lying to the public during their reports. It sickens me to see the press abuse their privileges. Once is an accident, multiple times is a pattern.

CNN=Clinton News Network.

Facts: Trump did A, B, and C.
Trump fanboys: Yea, but but but Hillary….

Both are money and power hungry folks, they don’t care about you get over it.

Wow! I guess I didn’t watch the same program you did. And I’m a Republican.

A fake statement from a fake politician.

The only fact Comey confirmed was the massive efforts by Russia to interfere with our elections by using the DNC internal fighting for control between Sanders and Hillary. Does anyone believe this is the first time the Russians interfered in our elections? No, this is the first time they were so successful because of the DNC and the Democrats are furious.

Desaulnier again shows his idiocy by opening his mouth. Can we please sensure him until the next election and get on with real American leadership ?
These career politicians are sabotaging reform and progress that benefits the American middle class. Tax reform, jobs, security of our nation, and entitlement reform. The money wasted on this attempt to defame our president is unacceptable. Desaulnier needs to share a cell with Comey for attempting to influence an investigation.

East County today, being a news outlet, should have countered his statement with the true facts. His statement is false and misleading. He should be ashamed of his partisan propaganda.

ECT, can you ask Desaulnier for a comment on the new gas tax on a sales tax coupled with a federal tax? The majority of all Californians oppose it. What is his excuse ?
