Comey didn’t merely “diminish” his credibility, he destroyed it.

The greatest irony is that Trump succeeded in baiting Comey to a degree that even Trump could not have imagined.

So Comey's unethical and illegal behavior is due to Trump.

Excellent article, thanks for posting.

Comey has blown his integrity if he ever had any.

I think Mr Jonathan underestimates the Emperor. I'm sure he had Comey nailed as a criminal, cowardly, egotistical windbag years ago.

Another liberal admitting that Comeybowl was a bust.

I’m guessing Comey’s “woe is me” Congressional exhibition was to build a popular defense against whatever allegations are stalking him.

Indeed

if he ever had any.

Whatever he had he surrendered back in July with that irreconcilable press conference.

I’m getting the feeling that President Trump has Comey in a legal bind. When Trump was asked today if he had tapes of
Comey, he gave that grin of his that tells you he nailed it, and just said “soon...soon” :)

Fox just reported that President Trump’s lawyer has been investigating Comey and the FBI for leaks since early March!!! I think Comey knows his testicles are in a vice and so he goes out there and admits he leaked the memos, knowing that the Senate will give him a pass, thereby setting public opinion on his side going forward.

Does he really think President Trump will give him a pass??? It could be his only play and I’ll bet that is exactly why he met with Mueller first and I’ll bet Mueller was the one who told him to play the “hero” by saying he leaked the memos “for the country’s sake”!

Best election ever:)

Comey broke several laws as listed in this article. He admitted same under oath. why would they need a further investigation? Is this going to be whitewashed like Clinton’s server. she admitted the crimes to the public and Comey said, its not criminal. what has to happen to arrest these a$$Hats?

Do you mean his "He Broke Me" act isn't going to work?

COMEY: "He Broke Me!"

LMAO.

TDS appears to have a strong effect on the judgment of the uniparty types.

Please let’s remember Comey did NOT leak his actual memos. He had someone read very select portions deemed damaging to Trump. He withheld the (presumed) exculpatory parts of the memos, but he’s now testified to many exculpatory details of his meetings with Trump.

Comey also caused or allowed false reports of his memo/ testimony - for example that he would testify he never reassured the president that he wasn’t under investigation.

I believe he ultimately testified to the facts helpful to Trump because Trump scared him by implying there might be tapes.

Just adding to the list of Comey’s unethical behavior.
