"SNIP........
Fired FBI Director James Comey has retained former U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald as one of his personal attorneys, bringing in a heavy-hitting former prosecutor, close friend and longtime colleague to help him navigate his dramatic role as a potential witness in the investigation of President Trumps campaign and potential obstruction of justice.
Two Capitol Hill sources independently confirmed to TPM that Fitzgerald was serving as a lawyer for Comey.
The hiring adds an additional twist to President Trumps recent decision to pardon Scooter Libby, Vice President Dick Cheneys former chief of staff, for his role in the Valerie Plame affair.
Comey, then the deputy attorney general, was the man who authorized the special counsels investigation into the alleged unauthorized disclosure of a CIA employees identity in late 2003, the case that eventually led to Libbys conviction for perjury and obstruction of justice. His choice for special counsel, the prosecutor who got the guilty verdict on Libby, was none other than Fitzgerald.

purposely violated a 200 year old rule NEVER To fuck with elections, clearly with the intent to harm Hillary.
But things are SO bad, the current players are SO corrupt and traitorous, someone like Comey is looking like the hero.
I dont know how we got here, oh wait, yes I do...
