Just read a lot of the transcript of Comey's interview before the House judiciary committee

[Goodheart]

I mean... really, what did those assholes expect?

That Comey had now seen the light, and would go in there and confess that everything he once held correct was totally and deliberately wrong? That he and everybody else in the FBI was on Team Clinton? That the FBI falsified everything before a FISA judge because they knew the Russia thing was all baloney?

And why would they even want this behind closed doors in the first place? I mean, the drama of it all is drastically reduced when nobody can see the actors and their faux outrage histrionics.

WHAT WAS THE F***ING POINT of that hidden shit show?

1. when I listened to the news they said most of the questions were about Hillary's emails

It really sounded extremely stupid to me . But, I'm not a gop kinda person. Maybe that stuff still works for them. Who knows?

[Goodheart]

5. Yes, there's a lot in there about Hillary's emails

If they were planning some sort of GOTCHA moment it sure didn't materialize... all rehashed crap that Comey was not going to change his mind about.

The only memorable part of the whole affair was when Comey insinuated that the Republicans are all smoking dope.

2. Most Fox News watchers won't read the transcript.

3. It's pretty simple.

They...the GOP members thought Comey would behave like a good bureaucrat and answer with yes or no...

...then get sound bites they could leak.

It backfired. Comey flat out said he wasn't falling for it. But they backed themselves into a corner...and hopped for the best....and didn't get that...but the worst.

4. It's even simpler than that

Number of hits for Comey's name on FOX News front page: 13

Number of hits for Cohen's name on FOX News front page: 1

Number of hits for Flynn's name on FOX News front page: 0

Number of hits for Manafort's name on FOX News front page: 0

Mission: distract the base from finding out much about the bad news

Comey was just part of their distraction strategy to misinform Americans that watch FOX News (and dilute the other MSM news)

6. Also: they wanted Comey to resist subpoena

So that when the Dem subpoena cannon launches starting in Jan, the Republicans can resist the subpoenas and could have cited Comey.

That failed. After a Trump judge said Comey had to go, he didn’t resist, he went.

7. The want to believe their own lies so bad

they can't give it up. You'd think the 11 hours of grilling Hillary would have taught them. They will never learn.
