Huh. I just took a look at Comey's actual testimony. Turns out Zero Hedge lied. Comey was asked about one on one meetings, not a meeting with other people as the Rice email suggests:
Martin Heinrich – New Mexico:
Mr. Comey, prior to January 27th of this year, have you ever had a one on one meeting or a private dinner with a President of the United States?

James Comey:
No. Dinner, no, I had two one on ones with President Obama I laid out in my testimony, one to talk about law enforcement issues, law enforcement and race, an important topic throughout for me, and for the President, and then once very briefly for him to say good-bye.

Also, see his written testimony:

If I were you, I would definitely not trust Zero Hedge.

nice cherry pick

meanwhile in the real world:

https://www.cnn.com/2017/06/07/politics ... index.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Vice Chairman Mark Warner – Virginia:
This was the only president that you felt like in every meeting you need today document because at some point, using your words, he might put out a non-truthful representation of that meeting?

James Comey:
That’s right, senator. And I — as I said in my written testimony. As FBI director I interacted with President Obama and spoke only twice in three years and didn’t document it. When I was deputy attorney general I had one one-on-one meeting with president bush about a national security matter. I didn’t document that conversation either. I didn’t feel with President Bush the need to document it in that way. Because of the combination of those factors, just wasn’t present with either President Bush or President Obama.
here's his opening statement...
I felt compelled to document my first conversation with the President-Elect in a memo. To ensure accuracy, I began to type it on a laptop in an FBI vehicle outside Trump Tower the moment I walked out of the meeting. Creating written records immediately after one-on-one conversations with Mr. Trump was my practice from that point forward. This had not been my practice in the past. I spoke alone with President Obama twice in person (and never on the phone) -- once in 2015 to discuss law enforcement policy issues and a second time, briefly, for him to say goodbye in late 2016. In neither of those circumstances did I memorialize the discussions. I can recall nine one-on-one conversations with President Trump in four months -- three in person and six on the phone.
it's not in response to any question as you imply above...

FYI ZH isn't the source it's the daily caller, if you actually read you'd know that...ZH compiles news stories and occasionally write opinion pieces but the vast majority is content shared from elsewhere...

thanks for playing...

Look, I think you're wrong, and he's still talking about one on one meetings based on the context, but even if you are right, so what? You still have Rice's word against Comey's word, and if you believe Rice, do you then also believe her when she says Obama wanted the investigation to be by the book? Because again, that completely contradicts your overall point.

And as to the source of the email, I know it's Daily Caller because I cited to the article above. Nothing in the Daily Caller article suggests or even hints that Comey lied to Congress. That came from the Zero Hedge article that came up when I googled your quoted text. Zero Hedge in fact is one of the few sources that is even claiming that Comey lied to congress. Nobody with any credibility is reporting that Comey lied.

I'm not sure why I'm even bothering. You're going to believe whatever you want regardless of the facts. But I do appreciate you bringing these things up because it forces me to look into things. I now know that sources like ZH have zero credibility, and more and more it appears that the FBI's investigation into Trump's Russia connections was being done by the book and Trump is the one making purely politically motivated attacks on the FBI because he doesn't like where it's going.

Well that's interesting:
Dr. Craig Pirrong, professor at the Bauer College of Business writes that "I have frequently written that Zero Hedge has the MO of a Soviet agitprop operation, that it reliably peddles Russian propaganda: my first post on this, almost exactly three years ago, noted the parallels between Zero Hedge and Russia Today."

Looks like the fake news is coming from places like Zero hedge, not CNN, as Trump likes to claim. This site seems to be exactly what the intelligence community was trying warn us about. See here. Seriously, MH, I think you're being manipulated.

You're caught in your own echo chamber. Maybe you should put all of this energy towards something that would matter in life. Your constant posting of drivile does nothing but feed your own ego.
