6. He's saying things now that should have been said in 2016

As the head of the FBI he couldn't say them himself, but now that's over. He's free to speak his mind and I - for one - am happy about it.

11. When he "reopened the case" of Hillary's e-mails

Howard Dean said at the time it was incompetence on his part, that he was in over his head in the job. I remember Comey when he stood up to Bush as acting Attorney General when what-his-face was in ICU and Bush wanted to push something illegal.

IMHO, he's a decent sort. He's certainly speaking up now, and that's a good thing.

I think the Republicans will regret dragging him out to face crowds.

He’s one of several reasons we have Donnie. That he’s suddenly found clarity is of no consequence to me.

I will never forgive him. There is no justification for what he did and he is the #1 reason Hillary lost the popular vote. I know, I know about the other reasons but Comey is the main one. Look at the polls and the dates from 2 weeks before the election. With Russia, social media, etc already factored in she was still pretty far ahead in the polls. After Comey she took a sharp dive and could never recover.

Hillary wrote in her book that she also believes Comey is the #1 reason she lost and she knows what she is talking about.

20. OOPS! I meant the electoral college vote.

I know she really won and he is the fake prez! I want to somehow get rid of the electoral college. Al Gore and Robert Reich were discussing how to change it right after the election.

16. We Will Never Know

Voting machines were never opened and audited, so we will never know for certain what caused Hillary's loss. Now, will we? Not to minimize what Comey did, but there could be other factors. I've been screaming this since the Nov. '16 election.
