44. Nice. But this doesn't absolve him.

He didn’t have to run his yap in the months - AND in the DAYS - before the 2016 election, which I still feel strongly contributed to a critical mass of voters in three targeted states to have second thoughts about HRC. Especially since he had to come back on the record about the second time, in late Octiber, to concede that the second cache of Hillary’s emails were nothing new. Of course it was too late by then. His earlier “discovery” that he portrayed as suspicious had already seeped in and taken root.

Comey, your DAMNED big mouth helped doom our democracy, you fucking jerk! NOTHING - repeat - NOTHING YOU CAN SAY OR DO NOW - can cleanse your conscience OR rehabilitate your own now-infamous place in history, for helping this monster steal our election.

Your “timing” was “perfect.” And if not deeply suspect, then pathetically reckless AND shamefully naive.
