@Comey
This country is so much better than this president. And next year we have a chance to prove it.

(82,849 posts)The director of the FBI comes out with an unfounded incendiary statement against the Democratic nominee that gets plastered all over the front page of the New York Times and billboarded by Fox 24-7 for several days leading up to the polls? I know, it's crazy to think about, but is it really outside the realm of possibility?

I would hold my outrage if Rump, tweedle dee and dumb (Eric and Jr), Barr, Prince, Flynn, Manafort, LaPierre, Miller, Gorka, Ryan, Bannon, and especially, (beside Rump himself) McConnell, Barr, and Ivanka/Jared all got the noose live on global telly.

(11,304 posts)Comey gave graphic testimony as to what happened and Mueller was elusive about the exact same incident.
Democrats need graphic testimony not elusive.

(89,271 posts)overall i think things would have been better if Mueller was still FBI director instead of Comey.
but at least the current guy is ok

(2,895 posts)unlikely Mueller would have made himself the star of the email investigation, breaking with all precedent, if he had still been FBI director.
JI7
(89,271 posts)i think he would also have been able to deal with those agents who leaked things to Giuliani and some other crap going on in there. none of that would probably have happened. I think Comey was too scared to do much because he was afraid of how he would be seen. While i don't think he wanted hillary to lose i do think he wanted to be on record as scolding her so those anti clinton sexist idiots would not blame him for her being in office. he never thought Trump would actually end up winning.
but that's hwat happened and He was a huge reason for it.
the problem right now is Barr, Trump and other Republicans who are making it difficult to do anything.

Bashing him is totally unnecessary.
brush
(53,871 posts)He knew he was investigating trump's campaign for colluding with the Russians yet he did that to Hillary.
He knew what he was doing, being a hyper-partisan, repug hack.
He can try to make up for it, seemingly all he wants, but I wouldn't trust him at all.

(9,865 posts)Trump/Barr are already asserting they were set up by a hostile FBI, secret agents of the Democrats.
Comey is not just any "private citizen".

(2,187 posts)Asshole. I got a free copy of your book, but felt nauseous just looking at it , so I gave it back with not one word read. The thoughts and feelings of James Comey do not interest me and never will. His "aw shucks " goody twoshoes-ness is what made him give that press conference 10 days before the election, which screwed things up for everyone. Fu Comey, Fuck you.
