Sen Angus King's splendid idea

[Jersey Devil]

Sen. Angus King (I-Maine), a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, which is conducting its own probe into the matter, already had someone in mind Wednesday for the position: Comey himself.

“Now, I had a fun idea in the middle of the night,” King said on CNN. “I think our committee, the Intelligence Committee, should hire James Comey to direct our investigation. Already got his clearances, knows the subject, man of integrity. I’m going to float that today and see what kind of reaction I get.”

LOL, though I realize there wouldn't be a single Republican vote for this, it sure would be fun to see it proposed and voted on.

3. Comey

will be consulted again and again for sure. He might be more free to give
guidance than if he were still FBI Director

4. There's nothing to stop the cmte Dems from hiring Comey

The Dems can hire their own staff and certainly could hire Comey if they wanted. Heck, Angus King could hire him to his own staff.

11. That integrity thing comes to mind, though other

reasons make it out of the question. But as for the vaunted integrity, Comey's outed on that one--he's going in the history books. While we still have a true reputation as the only party with any integrity to protect.

5. No Thanks!

I still do not trust someone who gave the election to the Anti Christ from his decision.

6. Nope, It needs to be someone like Yates or Bharara.

10. +1. Comey is not a high integrity guy.

7. Hire Yates

That would be a good idea.

8. The perfect person to be the "Special Prosecutor"

James Comey!

He is already up to speed.

He doesn't have to worry about being fired.

He would have the incentive to get to the bottom of it.

He already has the clearances!

Perfect!

9. Brilliant idea!

12. Nope. Then all we would hear is that his investigation was tainted by revenge motive.
