The FBI director let Hillary Clinton off, making the safe call—no big surprise there.
hen President Obama in 2013 named James Comey to head the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the president must have sensed that he had picked someone who could be trusted to have his back, even if Mr. Comey had served in the George W. Bush administration. This week, Mr. Obama’s bet paid off when the G-man let Hillary Clinton skate.
Not that Mr. Comey had an explicit understanding with the White House. It’s just that Mr. Obama and his savvy political team must have known from the start that Mr. Comey was no John Adams. Not the Adams of Founding Father fame, but John Adams when he was a younger man, who in 1770 agreed to defend British soldiers accused of massacring Boston colonists. The legal task was so unpopular, so dangerous, that nobody else would do it. Yet Adams believed that the law trumped politics, and that the men deserved a fair trial. In taking the case, he risked both his economic and political future. He took it anyway.
Mr. Obama announced Mr. Comey’s appointment by praising his “fierce independence and deep integrity.” And the press drooled over several episodes in his history that had given the former Justice Department official a reputation as tough and impartial. What this missed was that Mr. Comey had risen through the ranks precisely by being the opposite of tough. Washington rewards officials who are best at currying public favor, best at surviving, best at creating unfounded legends. And Mr. Comey had been steadily rising in Washington a long time.

translation: President Trump needs to fire him on Day One, and the next FBI director MUST be somebody who has NEVER worked in Washington.
“even if Mr. Comey had served in the George W. Bush administration”
Even if? The brutal fact is that each of the last four administrations have been globalist, not nationalist. They have also been elitist and progressive. There is not that much difference in any of them, except the friends list and who gets which plums. Their dogma is mostly the same. Expect the same results from Trotskyite neocons as from neo-Marxist Democrats.
The LSM keeps insisting that Comey is repub. That is an outright lie. He is NOT a repub.
Comey caved and allowed himself to be corrupted much like Roberts with the Obamacare decision.
I had a secret clearance in the Army and if I had an email server in my bathroom with secret documents on it because I wanted to hide all my communications from my First Sergeant or Company Commander ... guess what would happen???
I would have received a dishonorable discharge and be rotting in Leavenworth prison for several years.
Hillary Clinton, with help from corrupt Comey, Lynch and other government scumbags gets off scot free.
Where is the justice in that? No, there are definitely two different standards of justice - one for the powerfully connected and another for the little people.
Their judgment day is coming.
What part of the term 'FELONY' do you NOT understand, Comey?
Comey was disappointing. He seemed to struggle with logic.
Trump should tell Comey to resign in his VICTORY speech. Do it before Dec. 31 to avoid more investigations + vacation pay. He not only pulled a John Roberts. Think of Colin Powell’s kid at the FCC when he sided with the Democrats. Colin Powell himself has Republican officeholders to thank for his success. That plus Affirmative Action. I knew he would support Obama. Calling Harry Belefonte’s ‘house slave’ comment unfortunate was probably just for show.
I was able to watch the House hearing yesterday just past where Comey volunteered that he was a registered Republican but is no longer registered. Do you -or any other Freeper - know if any R on the committee asked him whether or not he’s registered with another party or is unaffiliated ? Thanks.
Replace him with Sheriff Clark
Comey announced that despite evidence of “extreme negligence by Hillary Clinton and her top aides regarding the handling of classified information through a private email server, the FBI would not refer criminal charges to Attorney General Loretta Lynch and the Justice Department.
Curiously, Berger, Lynch and Cheryl Mills all worked as partners in the Washington law firm Hogan & Hartson, which prepared tax returns for the Clintons and did patent work for a software firm that played a role in the private email server Hillary Clinton used when she was secretary of state.

I’ve been reading Scott Adams (Dilbert) blog recently and have come to respect his saavy analysis. He speculates that if Hillary was taken out due to criminal charges; Trump’s “mandate” as President would be diminished because he would have been “handed” the election, therefore it is to Trump’s benefit to face Hillary in the general.
Worth reading, along with his other posts.
BTW, Scott Adams has repeatably stated that Trump is the best persuader he’s ever seen, and that’s coming from a student of persuasion.
How dumb are you? Don't you understand the FBI Director is appointed to a 10 year term and no president has the authority to remove him? Comey was confirmed in 2013, so get someone to help you do the math.
Try to refrain from posting on subjects you know nothing about - but be sure to stop in to say hi every now and then so we won't wonder about you during long absences.
Saw that same article.
Here’s another one that if true to me goes towards debunking the no other prosecution drivel.

What are the chances that Obama named him to that position without having 100% confidence that he would heel off leash?
“How dumb are you? Don’t you understand the FBI Director is appointed to a 10 year term”
Coming down a bit hard on the poster Buckeye McFrog aren’t you? It must be nice to be as smart as you. Maybe more people would spend time around here if a know it all like you would educate someone instead of berating them.
Crooked, Corrupt Comey is a SNAKE...A DEMOCRAT SNAKE who Prosectued Scooter Libby for NOTHING!!
