What's up with Comey? I'm pretty sure his behavior cost Hillary the election. Now,

in pundit Howard Fineman's opinion, he has declared war on Trump. He seems to be be lurching back and forth between sucking up to Trump and attacking him. I'm confused. Thoughts?

By proTrump factions of the NY FBI, led by Giuliani. What I mean by blackmailed is they held it over him that they would disclose the info, "weaponize it," and make it look like he was in the bag for Hillary.

Ya think?

and that is what he has been pursuing. The outcome of the election was just collateral damage to him. His is a righteous, self-centered personality.

and the endless investigations that would be ongoing and planned.

I think Comey was CHA (covering his arse) - he had testified under oath before - any testimony that changed - and not reported to congress ,... - it would have been the end of his career - and possibly worse.

I am not a Comey fan - but republicans play dirty and play hard - and don't give a damned about collateral damage.
