COMEY Asks: "That's it?"

[kpete]

@Comey
That’s it? Dishonest and misleading memo wrecked the House intel committee, destroyed trust with Intelligence Community, damaged relationship with FISA court, and inexcusably exposed classified investigation of an American citizen. For what? DOJ & FBI must keep doing their jobs.

1. Thank you universe for the Comeys and Muellers in this world

[cwydro]

7. Screw Comey.

He screws Hillary.

How soon we forget.

His tweeting will not make him the hero he thinks he is in his own mind.

[pbmus]

9. I do not blame Comey for Hillary loss...

[lunamagica]

14. OK, don't. But the way he acted was not appropiat for someone in his position. He tried

to tip the scale in favor of trump. Whether you think he succeeded or not, that is a fact

[pbmus]

19. I do not subscribe to popular opinion that he was ...

Being politically motivated to tip any scale. I believe his motivation was simply to state what was happening inside FBI before it became politically used by repukes...to undermine investigators...

[lunamagica]

22. And at the same time stay silent on the FBI investigation on trump? Sorry, that

doesn't make any sense.

And thanks for the hat tip. I know that what I wrote deserves it because it is the truth

[helmedon1974]

39. Pretty sure he was duped into doing that..

Seems I read somewhere that Russia had a hand in that as well. Not to mention McConnell flat out telling him not to mention it.

[lunamagica]

49. Comey is a brilliant man, with too much experience to be "duped"

The way he behaved in June after a conclusion had been reached and no charges were recommended against Hillary? That's all he needed to say. It was not part of his job to go on calling her "careless" and everything else he said that day. He was completely out of line there, and his agenda was obvious.

He did everything to harm Hillary and protected trump. He played a big role in getting us into the nightmare we are living now.

[tomp]

51. agreed. no fan of comey here.

at some level he may be trying to make amends, but that's too little too late from my perspective.

[romana]

35. He was chicken

His motivation was that he was afraid of the GOP and their Clinton smear machine, and broke longstanding FBI protocol to scold her in public while deciding not to indict. He allowed politics and his own hubris into the FBI's protocols.

[yonder]

46. I'm off-topic a bit here, especially just down post, but...

...I like your GOP's "Clinton smear machine" term: truthful, simple and succinct.

[tomp]

52. and chicken of exposing trump who was more deserving of it. nt

[Bernardo de La Paz]

41. At least, he was artless. But cumulative effect of Russian interference in Elec Coll states bigger

The cumulative effect of Russian media bots and targetted social media strikes by the web brigades in St. Petersburg, aided and abetted by the Mercers' data on 163 million voters, plus Wikileaks interference, ... was all bigger than a last minute shuffle mishandled by Comey.

[Skittles]

18. the man trashed Hillary, knowing Trump was being investigated for COLLUSION WITH RUSSIA

Comey reminds me of Sandra Day O'Connor - nothing he says will ever be enough to make up for this damage

[happy feet]

24. Agreed

[pbmus]

34. So you would rather have repukes using Hillary emails against FBI and

Democrats instead of head of FBI releasing and then discounting email investigation...?

You do realize that the Hillary email investigation would have been used by repukes just as they are trying to do with current Mueller probe.

[Skittles]

38. I have zero clue what you are trying to say

[pbmus]

40. Again, hypothetically if Comey had said nothing....

And repukes have the leaked Hillary email information(which they did) that the FBI was not going to investigate any further... do you believe it was worse for Comey to state the investigation was ongoing or the repukes coming out with the FBI is covering up Hillary email investigation??????

I believe it was decided at much higher levels than Comey to come clean_

[Skittles]

43. LOL

and this explains why nothing was said about COLLUSION WITH RUSSIA? You're really equating the BULLSHIT EMAIL 'scandal' with COLLUSION WITH RUSSIA?

[pbmus]

45. No, not at all...

You are equating email with collusion...I am not...

So what exactly is Comey supposed to say about an ongoing fragile, not yet vetted collusion investigation, possible conspiracy . If he had said anything about that investigation before it broke, we would not have a special investigation.

[beaglelover]

27. That's unfortunate.

[olegramps]

29. It appears to me that he was betrayed by the very people that he attemped to please.

[lunamagica]

11. Seriously? Muller and Comey should never be mentioned in the same sentence. Muller is a man

Of integrity and honor, and Comey...well, he is not.

Why are you thanking the universe for Comey? Why? Because he is writing some tweets you like?

[beaglelover]

28. Comey obviously has seen the error of his ways and is now repenting for them.

I'm glad he's on our side here.

[romana]

36. I don't see it

Where has he repented publicly? Has he admitted what he did in July 2016 was wrong?

[pbmus]

37. He said in public committee investigation that it would

Make him sick to his stomach if he was involved in Hillary loss...

[rkleinberger]

44. Too Little Too Late!

Comey has caused great harm to the country directly or indirectly.

[lunamagica]

50. He needs to apologize to Hillary

[murielm99]

30. He should know dishonest and misleading,

after what he did to Hillary.

You are complicit, Comey. Until you admit it and apologize, I will not forgive you.

[Gothmog]

2. Comey is correct-this memo is so very weak

[gibraltar72]

3. In other words

Where's the beef. This is a nothingburger.

[dchill]

4. A no-mustard nothingburger.

With nothing on the side.

[gibraltar72]

10. On a stale bun.

[dchill]

13. Oh? There's a bun? Great!

[FailureToCommunicate]

25. I still love them...

[spanone]

5. K&R...

[bdamomma]

6. aren't there something

like 4 pages and just total BS being spewed?

[blaze]

8. Well, total BS that staffers wrote for the sole purpose of creating a RELEASE THE MEMO meme.

Worked pretty well I think.

[bdamomma]

15. they are persistent aren't they?

I bet that Stephen Miller is part of all this too.

[Downtown Hound]

16. It was never not going to work in that regard

They could have pulled out a piece of used toilet paper and said it was proof that Donald Trump was the victim of a witch hunt, and his slobbering base would have eaten it up. Where this memo will ultimately fail is in stopping Mueller or protecting Trump, because it's nothing but smoke and mirrors. That might work on gullible Americans in an election year. It's not going to work against the FBI and the Justice Department. Trump has seriously miscalculated here.

[gibraltar72]

12. And the award for best fiction Goes to

Devin Nunez!!

[Maeve]

17. So I'm in good company with my reaction to it--a nunesburger

Saw that term, loved it, keeping it!

[bigtree]

20. k&r

[ProudLib72]

21. All the RW responders seem to think he is going to prison or face a firing squad

[2left4u]

23. And from the Right

I apologize again ahead of time for the post from a right wing publication.
This shows just how far off from reality the GOP and King Cheeto are even within their own "safe space", no wonder the massive retirements.

Run, Forest! Run, RUN!

I think the above should be used in all our campaigns to remind everyone that the choice is simple. Either elect principled politicians that come from the people wanting to work for ALL people....or get more of the reality TV stars bullshit on the tax payers (YOUR) dime.

THE EMPEROR HAS NO CLOTHES...AGAIN!

[Grins]

26. ...and let the Intel agencies of friendly govt's know their secrets aren't safe with us...

...and let the Intel agencies of friendly govt's know their secrets aren't safe with us...

Trump has helped to blind us.

[bpj62]

31. Not a fan

I am not a fan of James Comey because I believe he violated the law by publicly commenting on The email case in 2016. However his tweet is spot on. The Trump Administration is trying to destroy the Carter Page investigation. Something big is brewing here and the Trump people know It. Comey spelled it out they just violated the privacy of an American Citizen who was under investigation for possible crimes discovered as the result of a lawfully issued FISA warrant. What the hell did Carter Page do?

[SunSeeker]

32. BTW, LOL re Comey's Twitter bio:

Former FBI Director, current husband and father, writing and speaking about ethical leadership, taller and funnier in person.

[BigmanPigman]

33. Distraction and hype to take focus off the investigation

and not enforcing Russian sanctions.

[rkleinberger]

42. Really?

Dude, not sure you (Comey) should be showing so much outrage. It's not like you didn't give America Trump with your antics! Right?!

[bluevoter4life]

47. ..."to obtain derogatory information on Donald Trump's ties to Russia"

Is it just me, or does that line right there show an admission of guilt?

[Kristofer Bry]

48. Same thing Nunes' wife said on their wedding night

Come on, you were thinkin' it!
