Does Russia have "kompromat" on James Comey?

No one on either side expects much out of DT's character, so a few Golden Showers videotapes won't make much of a difference in Americans' opinions of him.

But Comey loves to preen in his reputation of being a straight shooter, a Mr. Clean. What if Russia had something on him? They have gone so far as to plant child pornography in the computer of another Russian target.

Even if Comey were Mr. Clean, they could turn him into Mr. Pervert. Or Mr. Corrupt. And Comey knows that. Maybe he's more afraid of Russia than he'd ever admit.

He's probably more afraid of Russian correction than Leavenworth.

He was knee deep in the ExxonMobil Tillerson/Trump/ Putin Artic Drilling Deal.

Money is the driving force for most of these bastards!

Saying that he always tells the people that travel with him be careful no matter where they are that high end hotels have cameras everywhere, you don't want to show up on TV. Could he have compromising tapes on some who might have stayed in his high end hotels and resorts?

Several Russian oligarchs have either lived in Trump Tower or stayed at his facilities.

Would not surprise me if he has tape of Joe and Mika. Megan Kelly said Trump gave free stays to some prominent media people to ingratiate himself with them and get favorable media treatment. At the time of her statement I immediately thought of Joe and Mika.

Do ing something to screw with Clinton was political payback for ... something... we may never know what. but there's no way he could have known that has little FU to Clinton would have leveraged the whole White House over to Trump. I wouldn't be surprised if he was as horrified as everyone else about the actual outcome.

to know. Besides, he wouldn't have had to know. He could have just been following orders from Russia -- who threw one final Hail Mary pass that worked.

Also, the letter bombs could have thrown the smokescreen they needed to hide the vote stealing they were doing in states like Florida.

Seems like he is well into being an asset.
It is quite interesting that the Kremlin seems to have a Republican bias.

I'd heard the part about how he always seemed to know what was about to happen, but not that FBI agents in New York had a long-standing relationship with him. I mean, I guess it's not surprising after a moment's thought... I just hadn't thought it before.

That's a good, clear article. Thanks!

A couple months ago I had to talk to my father's friend on the phone. He was a Bernie supporter who had switched to DT and we got into an argument. I told him he sounded like he got his facts from Breitbart and his response was that he knew what he was talking about because he knew these FBI guys and they say that Hillary is a crook.

He is in the NYC area. So these FBI guys weren't just talking to Giulianai -- they were talking to ANYONE about how much they hated her -- including this retired longshoreman.

If we squeeze him like a pimple, will he eventually burst and release all the juicy details about Russia and the entire RNC?

Sorry about the nasty (but appropriate) analogy.
