FBI ... 45... RICO


A while back there was a brief mention in a congress persons rant that Comey has 45's tax returns......

Maybe it is a RICO investigation that has a wiretap on 45....

If Russian Collusion investigation fails perhaps RICO will be the ticket to jail for 45.......

I am willing to be proven wrong, but in my view Comey has been revealed as a partisan and nearly a co-conspirator.

That would be interesting if the Trump conspirator who sabotaged Clinton turned on Trump also.

The fable of the frog and the scorpion.

Did Comey stay silent about trumputin because that case involves national security, and did he comment on HRC because he was investigating a potential criminal case? Then again, he was extremely "premature" about revealing her investigation when it wasn't warranted.

I think he is partisan, but I think he might have been bound by national security rules/law on 45.

As to Trump and Putin, we can hope for the worst for Trump.

By Guliani and the NY FBI who HATE Hillary. If he didn't come forward they were going to leak it anyway. He shouldn't have said anything about Clinton or Trump

that a RICO case might be more doable than some of the other legal avenues.
