[riversedge]

1. Comey, get off my lawn

this guy is weak

[uponit7771]

2. Comey did same thing last year, he's asking again as if he didn't learn the first time

[Pachamama]

3. This is from last year in the week after the insurrection

Not sure why it’s now making the rounds

[exboyfil]

4. Trump isn't moving on

Why the f__k should we. That is worse than Neville Chamberlain giving Hitler exactly what he wanted. We are just at the start of a fascist takeover, not a ruined political animal like Nixon (and that "pardon" was wrong as well).

[betsuni]

5. But her emails.

[PurgedVoter]

7. He approved of waterboarding and he made Trump president

His judgement is permanently stained. If he started to agree with me, I would carefully examine my logic, compassion and the long term effect of what he agreed on. He has been right and done the right thing a few times, but he has also caused our nation immense grief and helped stain our nation's honor.

This statement is unbelievable. The man who sent Martha Stewart to jail wants Trump pardoned.

[aeromanKC]

8. Trump needs to die in prison in order to heal the country.

Fuck their feelings. Isn't that what MAGAt's say?

[GoodRaisin]

9. F Comey.

He should just go away if he wants to do something to "help the country heal". The country has had enough of Comey.

[MFM008]

10. ummmmmm

no.

[no_hypocrisy]

11. Trump fired Comey and Comey wants him pardoned for sedition/treason at the least.

Yeah, like THAT makes sense . . . . . .

[Sherman A1]

12. Perhaps the DOJ needs to investigate Comey for his mucking up of

The 2016 election?

[lagomorph777]

44. Yes, please.

[Emile]

13. A lot has happened since 2021, maybe he has a charge of mind now?

[True Blue American]

14. Comey needs to shut up.

He helped elect Trump, then Trump fired him.

[NCjack]

15. How would that work? Trump admits to his crimes (not going to happen),

Pres. Biden issues the pardon, Trump says "suckers!" and runs for president.

[CentralMass]

16. This from a former FBI Director. Our system of government and it mechanisms

And checks and balances are failing. Monied interest and a dearth of integrity have corrupted it. The founding fathers worse fears of its corruption and misuse have been realized

[Joinfortmill]

17. How did this dude ever get to head the FBI?

[exboyfil]

25. White privilege

That is all I got. Is he the idiot son of some big contributor?

[elias7]

18. This appears to be from 1/14/21

However, he is a blockhead

Former director of the leading law enforcement group in the land, fired by TFG for investigating him after throwing the election to him, now wants us to forego law enforcement of the most serious threat to our democracy in the name of healing, just so TFG can know he has no consequences for his behavior and can just go on dividing.

[Baitball Blogger]

21. Makes you wonder if the FBI makes it a habit of giving the big names a pass on corrupt

practices.

Until the leadership of the FBI becomes more diverse, we're going to have an agency that just props up white male dominance in this country.

[CrackityJones75]

19. This is over a year old....

I mean it was and is outrageous but why are we talking about this now?

[Baitball Blogger]

20. This is not healing, you dumb servant for White Male causes.

You know what is healing? Give Hilary a four year presidential term.

Moron.

[Escurumbele]

22. Is Comey afraid of something? Is he compromised? What an unpatriotic suggestion.

Like what Bugs Bunny would say "What a maroon, what a nincowpoop..."

[Martin Eden]

23. There can be no reconciliation without truth

First and foremost, TFG would have to come clean about all his crimes and his lies -- including all the grifting and playing the maga minions for fools. He would have to apologize to the nation and withdraw from public life.

Even then he deserves to spend time in prison, but to pardon a criminal for his worst crimes while he is wholly unrepentant and fully intent on committing more and worse crimes would be foolish and irresponsible in the extreme.

James Comey has either lost his mind or wants this criminal to succeed.

[Harker]

24. Of course he should consider it.

Then flatly reject the idea as being utterly absurd and a dire threat to the continued existence of the nation.

[we can do it]

27. +1

[bucolic_frolic]

26. Blasphemy and Treason, Comey style

I have lost all tolerance for Comey. He's a brainless Rethug robot.

[denbot]

28. WTF

Speechless..

[ShazzieB]

29. Comey was born in 1960.

So he would have been 14 when Ford pardoned Nixon. If he doesn't remember how people reacted to that, someone should fill him in.

That decision was about as popular as bubonic plague, and it did absolutely nothing to help the country "heal." I'm sure public reaction to a Trump pardon would be much worse.

Joe Biden was 32 in 1974. I'm sure he remembers.

[Ford_Prefect]

30. THIS IS FROM A YEAR AGO!!!! Not from yesterday's news!!!!

"As part of healing the country ... I think Joe Biden is going to have at least think about that."

ALL of this was posted in the Jong-Fast twitter account last January a week after the attack on the capitol. This kind of misattribution is poor editing at least, if not more doubtful material. Posting it begs the question why it has shown up now???

I respect the author of the OP but I feel this should be locked.

[FreepFryer]

36. Thanks, important clarification all!

[Vinca]

31. Trump would be pardoned and then continue his life of spreading lies about the 2020

election, stoking hatred of anything not "pro-Trump" and merrily bilking the saps for dollars until he finally keels over. Trump is the last person on earth who should be pardoned for anything.

[dixiechiken1]

32. STFU, Comey.

[DinahMoeHum]

33. GTFO, Comey.

[yardwork]

34. This is typical of Comey and shouldn't even be news.

My disgust for Comey is unabated.

[hatrack]

35. MC 900-Foot Boy Scout Can FOAD . . .

Just. Shut. Up.

[Chainfire]

37. How long has Comey been on dope?

[trusty elf]

38. I think a pardon should be considered

after he does about ten years of hard labor.

[lark]

39. Comey continues to be a right wing idiot and total ass.

Yeah pardon him so he can run again, that's what he really wants but doesn't have the stones to tell the truth.

[Lettuce Be]

40. That's beyond ridiculous. Comey is not officially an idiot

[jcgoldie]

41. You would think of all people...

Jim Comey would have learned to STFU.

[MissMillie]

42. TDDFG has gotten a pardon for EVERY illegal,...

under-handed, nefarious, immoral thing he has ever done.

It's time to STOP giving him a pass.

[lagomorph777]

43. So he's dropping any pretense of impartial justice, patriotism, or decency.

Noted.
