Comey knew exactly what he was doing when he alluded to Bill's meeting with Loretta on the tarmac

He knew the Trump Davidians would exploit it but in exploiting it because of the suggested or apparent impropriety they are drawing attention to the improper contacts of Trump with James Comey and now Preet Bharara:






In fact Trump criticized Bill for meeting with Loretta on the tarmac too.

And Obama did not fire him.

And Hillary would not have either.

or do you think that might have been a dog whistle of sorts to the dems at the hearing that he (Comey) has "interesting info" on both sides and everybody had better be careful of opening up that proverbial can of worms?

I could like him otherwise, but I can't forgive him for what he did to Hillary and her campaign.

He may do the right thing on occasion, but he was wrong to meddle in the election on behalf of one candidate.

Because DJT tweeted about Lynch, he can't use ignorance as an excuse.

I think Comey wanted to subtly point that out.
