CONFIRMED: Comey Will Be Guilty Of Perjury If He Testifies That Trump Obstructed Justice

WASHINGTON — Fired former FBI director James Comey will be guilty of perjury if he testifies that President Donald Trump tried to influence his Russia investigation, according to a top national attorney who is well-versed in the matter.
Comey will testify sometime after Memorial Day (Monday) in front of the Senate Intelligence Committee. Comey also postponed his testimony before NeverTrumper Jason Chaffetz’s House Oversight Committee in order to have a conversation with “Russia” special investigator Robert Mueller. The testimony will hinge on a conversation that Trump allegedly had with Comey, in which Trump allegedly discussed the investigation into his former national security adviser General Michael Flynn.
Comey is already hinting that he is going to try to get Trump implicated in an “obstruction of justice” plot. A strange CNN article cited a “person familiar with his thinking” to claim that Comey “now believes that President Donald Trump was trying to influence his judgment about the Russia probe.” The article notes that intent must be proven before an obstruction of justice charge can be leveled at Trump.
But as Big League Politics reported, Comey previously testified in no uncertain terms that Trump did not obstruct his investigations. Comey made that statement under oath before the Senate Judiciary Committee.
A major national attorney told Big League Politics that Comey is “damned if he did and damned if he didn’t.”
“To change his story would suggest he lied to Congress and perjured himself,” the lawyer said about the potential open-and-shut perjury case. “He would be guilty of perjury under 18 US Code Section 1621.”
Here is Comey’s sworn statement clearing Trump of obstruction of justice and rendering Comey’s upcoming testimony meaningless to the establishment cause of impeaching the president (unless they can find something else to try before the testimony happens):
With Comey knocked out of the game, the Establishment forces are seeing their Russia narrative fall apart. CNN recently ran a segment reporting that Russians tried to use Flynn as a back-channel to get to Trump, which actually hurts their own argument because why would the Russians need a back-channel to a president they are supposedly already manipulating?
Blackwater founder Erik Prince, who was also accused of being involved in some kind of Russian back-channel to get to Trump, made that obvious point in an interview with Fox News madman Tucker Carlson.
