Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

False statements and obstruction, but really is cause he didn't do what trump wanted

[–] TachyonTele@piefed.social 56 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I saw that. But what did he falsly say?

Yeah the corruption is off the charts with this case.

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 39 points 1 week ago (1 children)

He falsely said Trump wasn't entirely above the law.

[–] _wizard@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

At what point does his declaration go from true to false? Are we at that stage?

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

Beyond, actually. Yes.

It's in the article now near the end. He testified to Congress that he didn't authorize a leak about investigating Hillary Clinton's email server in 2016. But Andrew McCabe testified that Comey did.

[–] orclev@lemmy.world 24 points 1 week ago (1 children)

No, Andrew McCabe testified that he decided to leak the investigation and then told Comey about it after he had already leaked it. Comey testified that he didn't authorize the leak or know about it before it happened but that McCabe told him about it after the fact. Their testimonies corroborate each other.

Ah interesting. They actually removed that whole thing from the article after I posted my comment. I wonder if they got fact checked.
