Transcript Of James Comey’s Testimony Released, He Said ‘I Don’t Know’ 166 times.

The transcript of James Comey’s closed-door testimony has been released. If you thought it was bad enough that he refused to answer a ton of questions, please know that it gets worse.

There’s this:

But while Comey insisted in the interview that “we never investigated the Trump campaign for political purposes,” the transcript shows he claimed ignorance or memory lapses in response to questions concerning key details and events in the Russia investigation, which some GOP lawmakers continue to claim was improperly conducted.

The transcript reveals lawmakers’ frustration with his lack of specifics.

Asked if he recalled who drafted the FBI’s “initiation document” for the July 2016 Russia investigation, Comey said, “I do not.” He again claimed not to know when asked about the involvement in that initiation of Peter Strzok, whose anti-Trump texts later got him removed from the special counsel’s probe.

When asked if the FBI had any evidence that anyone in the Trump campaign conspired to hack the DNC server, Comey gave a lengthy answer referring to Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation as to why he couldn’t answer.

“Did we have evidence in July of (2016) that anyone in the Trump campaign conspired to hack the DNC server?” Comey asked rhetorically. “I don’t think that the FBI and special counsel want me answering questions that may relate to their investigation of Russian interference during 2016. And I worry that that would cross that line.”

But there’s also an actual breakdown. It’s bad.

He said he “I don’t remember”…71 times, “I don’t recall”…8 times and “I don’t know” a whopping… 166 times.

James Comey:

“I don’t recall”—8 times
“I don’t remember”—71 times
“I don’t know”—166 times

AND he said he didn’t know that
Christopher Steele was passing information to Bruce Ohr, who was giving it to the FBI.
