FBI Director Comey - in the end, who will he turn out to be?

He is opaque. For me, the reports that his staff is shocked and upset is encouraging. What do you all think about Comey?

Comey was trusted by Obama and that's good enough for me. Now that Drumpf has fired Comey, I have all the more reason to believe that Comey was on the side of truth.

Sometimes jumping to conclusions about them. People here even found reasons to misjudge Obama, when he was in office.

It's very frustrating when people rush to judgement on face value. Kinda like the orange man baby in the White House does.

For whom doing what he felt obligated to always placed him in an intractable political mess beyond his control.

I think the actually investigation was properly done. I tend to agree Hillary was clumsy etc, but he didn't need to say it publicly. I think he felt pressured to say stuff. I don't think he was bad. But I sure as hell was mad on Oct 28th.
