I don't think Comey is doing this deliberately. I think he's having a breakdown.

[blm]

And I also think the breakdown is being triggered from the constant alt right type of pressure being applied by his RWingnut agents - probably working for Russia, wittingly and unwittingly…. ala OpusDei agent Robert Hanssen. Hanssen really thought he was doing good works when he was spying for Russia during Bill Clinton's term. These people are nuts and they intend to take the entire nation down in order to 'rebuild' it. Dumbasses. IMO, Comey is cracking up. The stuff coming out of the FBI 'officially' is cray-cray.

1. I do and I don't.

[Foggyhill]

2. What breakdown, the fucking FBI endorsed Fred trump

There is something sick in there

[anneboleyn]

9. Exactly. The FBI needed to send a pro-Fred-Trump tweet TODAY?!

[blm]

39. That kinda makes my point….it's completely sick and unprecedented in modern governance.

Some crazy shit is going down.

[grubbs]

3. It's deliberate.

Stop making excuses for the rat fucker. He is the pos he appears to be

[Coyotl]

4. OFCS, how ludicrous can we get?

He's a Republican. You don't need a CT to explain his political actions. More likely he's running for the next nominee.

[Andy823]

25. Exactly

He knows he isn't going to be around after Hillary takes office, so he is doing all he can to appease the republicans who were pissed at him for "NOT" taking Hillary down earlier. He is covering his own ass right now.

[Me.]

5. PLease Let's Have No Excuses For The Damage He Is Inflicting

He's responsible...pure and simple

[blm]

12. Not saying he's not responsible - just saying he appears to be cracking up.

.

[Me.]

30. Gotten Too Big For His Britches

Is what I think the story here is

[Farmgirl1961]

6. Nope. Deliberate coup attempt

[dawg]

7. He needs to pay a price, regardless.

After the election, of course.

Which would be better to lead the FBI? A partisan hack, or an incompetent who yields to political pressure?

[blm]

13. totally agree

he's definitely outtathere, imo.

[Lucinda]

8. Comey ties back to the group going after Bill during his presidency

(as do many of Trumps inner circle now including Kellyanne Conway)
He gets no pass from me...

[Demsrule86]

11. I find that completely silly. He is a partisan hack and that is all there is to it.

[anneboleyn]

15. Exactly. The release of the 2001 files plus a PRO FRED TRUMP tweet is not a "breakdown"

[blm]

17. I get that, but, imo, no rational person in an official position would have done that, especially at

a time when they are facing intense criticism from all corners for their last unprecedented act.

Sorry, but, this has reached level of 'cracking up', in my view.

[anneboleyn]

36. Well, "cracking up" in a very strategic manner that is designed to throw the election

I wouldn't call that "cracking up."

[blm]

38. I think the CIA will counter with whatever they may have…...

now I get why the two agencies butt heads. Robert Hanssen got two valuable Russian assets killed when he was spying for Russia. FBI has some real religious whacks working there. An OpusDei mafia.

[Demsrule86]

20. Exactly.

[duffyduff]

14. Nope. He is a hack from way, way back.

The Clintons are quite familiar with his antics.

[RKP5637]

16. Whatever it is, there's some serious shit going on in the FBI, like a Coup IMO. n/t

[gordianot]

18. Most definitely dileberate breakdown is payback.

[blm]

21. True - could be both.

.

[Salviati]

19. Regardless if he's doing it on purpose, or just can't handle the pressure.

He's unfit for his position and Obama should ask for his resignation on Nov. 9th.

[blm]

22. No doubt.

.

[mainer]

24. Of course he's doing it deliberately.

There is no other explanation for the timing, one week before a Presidential election.

KGB Comey.

[NastyRiffraff]

26. Disagree, strongly

After today, when the FBI dumped documents about Bill Clinton's pardon, AND a tweet describing Fred Trump as a philanthropist (!) there is no longer any doubt; he's doing this deliberately. He knows EXACTLY what he's doing; he's trying to influence the election.

He needs to resign, and now.

[lapucelle]

27. I'm beginning to wonder whether Comey is being blackmailed.

[elias7]

29. Or Loretta lynch, to keep her silent

I had same thoughts today...

[uponit7771]

42. Lynch hasn't been silent, she said she disagreed with the email move already

[Ilsa]

32. Or threatened...

"We'll make sure your kids have dogshit careers" or worse.

[Raster]

33. live boy or dead girl?

[Ilsa]

31. Speaking of losing control of the agency, I happen to know

that an agent from a Texas FBI office was spying on a private citizen, without cause, for a friend, who also had no cause other than nosiness. The friend openly admitted it to the person after he/she had been watched for a few months.

These people are amoral and have zero respect for the Constitution.

[workinclasszero]

34. Did Comey breakdown and lose control of the FBI to the alt-right or...

Is he leading an alt-right coup of the FBI?

[NoGoodNamesLeft]

35. And this type of FBI...undisciplined and bat shit crazy is what a Trump win would look like

If Trump wins he'll invite Putin to Annex the US right along with Crimea.

[JI7]

37. i have felt the same way for a while.

[blm]

41. good to hear it's not just me thinking the guy is showing signs of a mental breakdown...

.

[JI7]

44. i think it's similar to police departments

where you have them defending bad cops .

in this case someone who is stronger would not have given in and it would not be a problem. but comey was kind of weak and all the pressure got to him. so if he says something that is good for clinton he needs to add something else to criticize her.

he is not fit for that position. and i do hope obama replaces him after the election is over.
