FBI Director James Comey says Americans should be mindful of foreign efforts to undermine confidence in U.S. elections.

He says people should be aware of the possibility that what they’re reading is shaped by “troll farms” looking to push particular messages or disinformation.

The FBI should be sensitive to the Constitution and people's right to Free Speech. IQ, is the problem and that is pretty much tough luck and not accounted for in the Constitution not believing what dems demand you believe is not a problem.

The real problem is the government, Google, Twitter, Facebook etc., deciding for us what we are allowed to look at....taking away our freedoms to see what we want to see and believe what we want to believe.

These groups and government departments are becoming dangerous.

Okay comey, enough with the DNC BS talking points.

I wonder how much the socialist-democrats paid comey to get PIAPS off the hook?

Or do they have full color HD video of him participating in a DC “pizza” party?

Why is this guy still at the FBI? He should have been one of the first people shitcanned by the Trump administration. Not resigned, FIRED!

Seeing that the FBI is something that exists contrary to the Constitution (unaccountable executive department), it’d be impossible for them to have regard for that document since it does not mandate their existence and actually prevents it when applied originally.

Anything that is not democrat, globalist propaganda is considered fake news by the FBI.......basically anything that supports the Constitution or flyover country's Christianity morals and view.

Scary!

Yup! I keep asking the same question and never get an answer.... Let’s hope DJT is using him to get at “others”!

Ideologues don’t need to be paid off or blackmailed. Comey’s resume indicates a very leftward slant and a bias towards the Clintons in particular. He was appointed by Obama specifically to get Hillary off the hook.

Hmmmm....

Forgot about that angle. Wasn’t he involved with HSBC at some point?

Also Loretta Lynch?

Wasn’t HSBC busted for laundering drug cartel cash?

If they were flipping money for the cartels, maybe they were doing the same for shady politicians and their “foundations”?
