1. K&R...

[C_U_L8R]

2. Yes. America needs you !

[DURHAM D]

3. Comey is the one who started the tear down of an institution. nt

[bitterross]

4. Do you mean by issuing the letter about Hillary so late in the election?

I'm just guessing that might be what you are thinking. It was my first thought when I saw you post. I think you have grounds for your statement based on that action of his.

[brush]

5. Exactly. I'm sick of Comey's sanctimonious tweets. His failure to control rogue agents...

in his own agency led to them tricking him into issuing the Oct. 29, 2016 letter that torpedoed Hillary's campaign and gave us trump.

It's his own damn fault.

[JI7]

6. But at this point we still need him to help get rid of trump

We can go after him after trump is gone

[delisen]

30. Yes Comey no matter what his past sins is

on the same side we are, and we need all allies.

7. He was blackmailed. The rogue assets also infected the NYPD.

Plus it takes a long time to root out a viper's nest in a bureaucratic institution like the FBI. The nest can be born in secret, and a degree of omerta keeps it secret. The fact that Comey had the authority to root it out doesn't mean he had the means. And he got torpedoed below the waterline as a result. Giuliani and Prince appear to have been the ringleaders.

Saying it's his own damn fault doesn't mean he could have done anything about it in the time he had, especially given the other players.

The story of what went down is in this Twitter thread. If you can read it with an open mind and still blame Comey, I give up.

8. That's all well and good. HE DIDN'T REVEAL HE WAS ALSO INVESTIGATING TRUMP.

It's his own damn fault.

[The_jackalope]

10. Do you know why?

If you don't then you're simply judging him because you didn't like the outcome, and are unwilling to consider that larger stakes may be in play here. Like Democracy, the Constitution, and a continuing possibility that America will fulfill her potential.

I'm willing to hold off on razor-blade judgements until I know a bit more. My anger would only hurt me, it wouldn't help the crisis.

[brush]

12. Larger stakes than who the president is? Get serious. They were investigating...

among other things, suspected spy Carter Page and his ties to Russia and the trump campaign.

Are you inferring that not announcing that investigation was more important than actually announcing a fake investigation into Hillary's campaign thereby swinging the election to trump?

Nah, who the president is and knowing she is not a Russian asset instead of trump who may be a Russian asset is more important (the trump administration today signaled they are not putting in place the new sanctions on Russia that Congress voted to impose—Russian asset or not. You decide).

[The_jackalope]

15. Of course there can be larger stakes than who gets elected president.

But I don't know if they were in play here. I can readily admit the possibility though, knowing what I do about Gerasimov, Dugin, Surkov and Putin. I'm just not rushing to hang Comey from the yardarm until I have a better understanding of what game was in play, and what his strategic motives were.

Partly of course I'm influenced by my perceptions of the man. I see him as a courageous, stand-up guy who is loyal to the constitution and isn't normally given to casually flicking presidential candidates into the dustbin of history. Now that's just my personal impression of the guy. But even if he were utterly venal to the core, we still have no evidence of the game that was in play around him.

[brush]

16. We have no evidence if we're not paying attention. There's plenty of evidence.

And if Comey was all about country and fairness and all that he should've kept quiet about Hillary or announced both investigations.

He played an out-sized role in installing trump into the White House.

[sprinkleeninow]

24. This. This. This.....

[denbot]

18. Fuck him and fuck his apologists

If he had a spine he would have not been manipulated.

[greatbaldeagle]

11. Comey is just trying to ease a guilty conscience

He knows he shares in the blame for Big Con being in the White House.

[brush]

13. Yep, he's a tragic, and reviled, figure in history now and he can't change it.

[iluvtennis]

14. Exactly.

[JI7]

17. he wasn't blackmailed. he thought Hillary would win and gave in to pressure from right wingers

[LisaL]

19. And she could have won, if not for his letter.

[JI7]

20. that's right .

[sprinkleeninow]

25. Say it.

[Brainstormy]

33. So am I

In my book, he's a traitor. I can't stand to see the public glorifying him.

[dem4decades]

27. Let's not forget his July statement that criticized Hillary.

That was not the way the FBI should have announced the investigation was over.

[Solomon]

32. Thank you. I was about to mention this.

He fucked up long before his letter. Asshole.

[world wide wally]

9. Comey should have simply followed the law (he claims to love and respect so much), and

said nothing at all one week prior to the election.

[woundedkarma]

21. A thought for all of you

So which is it? Russia hacked our election or the only reason trump won is because of Comey? I don't think you can't have both.

I don't give a **** about Comey. He seemed like a decent guy doing his job when during the hearings but whatever...

And yes, of course Trump colluded/conspired/aided/abetted a foreign power.

[LisaL]

22. Who is claiming that Russia actually hacked the election?

[Skittles]

23. he trashed Hillary while he knew Trump was being investigated for colluding with Russia

he very much helped put that buffoon into the White House and he knows it

[sprinkleeninow]

26. Telling it.

[VOX]

29. Right on. And he got canned and a big case of buyers remorse for his efforts.

[LanternWaste]

34. You are introducing an argument no one is making.

You are introducing an argument no one is making.

Think rationally.

[Wounded Bear]

35. Reality is seldom so binary in its options...

Perhaps both are true and you're a subversive trying to scotch the discussion with false binary choices.

Comey may have been an unwilling participant, but he was a participant, from the July briefing to the October letter, his actions had a big effect.

[still_one]

28. f**k Comey. That asshole started all this by sending the letter to the republicans in congress 11

days before the election, and when the republicans and the news media said that the "email investigation was reopened", which was a LIE, and paraded every right wing politician across the television screen propagating that lie for days, Comey was unavailable to correct that LIE.

As far as I am concerned Comey bears much of the responsibility for the garbage that is in the WH today

[tavernier]

31. Still nauseous, sir?

Because the rest of us are, on a daily basis.
Instead of these tweets, why don’t you speak up loudly and clearly for your country? You are a private citizen now. I’m sure that there are things you can talk about without harming any investigations, things that would help clear up confusion in many minds.
