I agree that he is guilty. But his crimes could not have won him the election--or even come close-- StevieM May 2017 #15
We would have different occupants (i.e. THE CLINTONS) if not for Comey. Tatiana May 2017 #16

But CNN was just discussing how Comey would travel back to D.C. given that he was "fired" and normally travels on a special plane and whether he might have to make separate arrangements, etc.

what this man did to our country.

The only person worse than Comey is Jason Chaffetz.

rigged the 2016 election.

Trump ran an awful campaign and just benefited from everything they did.

He's the biggest reason Trump is in the White House right now.

This is well-earned karma.

and I would think they would (or already have) revoke some of his security clearances, etc., since the termination was "immediate". They don't play with that stuff.
