1. Kick!

2. Like to think that could be true, but his own ass is on the line.

That's the joker, or wild card. What steps will best protect himself. We know Comey may be a righteous conservative villain, perhaps even a fairy tale lover, but he is not a man of integrity.

3. Lawfare is a very smart blog

4. I don't trust him.

I don't believe someone concerned about the integrity of his office/organization would have created the Clinton emails bomb drop that he did just before an election.

You don't protect one candidate and go after the other when you're supposed to be neutral - and then have a claim to integrity.

5. I don't trust him either. His job is safe for now but I wonder how much he truly supports

trump..

6. I am guessing this investigation drags out for four years.

And then in October 2020 Comey holds a presser and says it was all a big nothing burger.

9. There are no human beings who are entirely black/white hats. Maybe in their own minds.

People are complicated. Life is messy.

I can conceive of someone getting digs in on Clinton (where there was no investigation) and yet still doing ones duty where there is an investigation.

11. Right? WTF do people excuse this guy

for his absurd hit jobS, plural, on HRC?

He had no fucking business offering his OPINION like he did in June OR releasing a letter based on fucking Weiner's lap top a week before the god damned election.

None.

7. Looks like Comey is holding back, not commenting at all

[KittyWampus]

8. Yes, the less Comey says the worse it is for Trump.
