Comey hopes that "one day." his HRC pre-election stunt will be proven "irrelevant."

Former FBI Director James Comey conceded on Tuesday that Hillary Clinton might be president today if he had not interfered in the 2016 election.

Comey made the admission during an interview with CNN’s Christiane Amanpour.

“Do you ever thing that you might be responsible for the election of President Trump?” Amanpour asked. “Does that keep you up at night?”

“Sure, and I hope some day somebody proves that what we did was irrelevant,” Comey replied.

Amanpour pointed out that Comey’s actions against Clinton “were kind of relevant” since she lost.

Irrelevant in what way? That it didn't matter which candidate was elected? That they were moral equals? Political equals? Intellectual equals?

Or that the damage will be healed by and by? FUCK BY AND BY, and FUCK YOU, James Comey.

That's my imagined quote.

The only way he will not be remembered as the reason HRC lost is if evidence comes out that the actual voting was rigged to steal the election.

Ego driven piety will be his legacy.

with Arnold, Quisling and Pétain. You violated your sacred trust and tried to thread the needle between having Clinton as President but with a majority of Republican legislators.

Get used to it.

You better hope that their isn't a Dante's Hell. Otherwise you will be there with Judas Iscariot.

Seriously, fuck him for all of this. He may not be 100% responsible for the outcome, but he put his thumb on the scale to tip the election, and may he never have peaceful sleep again for that.

in a thousand years, these 4 years might be seen as irrelevant.

Or they are a deciding factor in the downfall of America.

So we have to wait and see.

while Trump and Trump's minions were lying constantly about Russian contacts and campaign help so he knew Trump was compromised.
