comet, looking to portray trump as a liar, himself came off as the liar in all this- even as someone who committed perjury and possibly broke the law by leaking-

What in the world did comey think he was going to accomplish by appearing? He came off as weak, unqualified to be FBI, and a liar and possible law breaker

[HLPhat]

Clever spider in a clever web.

Nobody is smart enough to lie.

He knew if he appointed a special council on Hilary she would lose the election. Pure partisan politics.

> Comey wanted to prevent the appointment of a special counsel for Hillary Clinton, who was the subject of an FBI investigation, but he wanted to “prompt” the appointment of a special counsel for President Trump, who was not the subject of an FBI investigation.

That’s it entirely. Comey has been running a smear campaign, fostering the impression of scandal were there is none.

[Nifster]

Comey is a lying traitorous coward

[Reddy]

Great article.

Comey deserved to be fired. He is a partisan hack.

If any FBI employee still supports Comey after proof of his egregious agenda has been exposed, they deserve to be fired too.

Comey has brought lasting damage to the FBI.

[Lou L]

How did Comey know, without any doubt, that there was nothing on Clinton? On the other hand, he seemed to know with certainty, that Trump might be investigated? Seems like we could save a lot of money if we just ran every case through Comey, and he could tell us if it’s warranted.

Is it time to label this former top G-man with a crude moniker?

How about Crummy?

Naw too dull.

James Dummy?

James Homey?

Anybody?

[Sacajaweau]

I feel queasy this morning.

[Boomer]

Comey should be looking at 10-20 years in prison for this one act of criminal behavior alone. I’m sure more would be found during the trial. He may never get to spend his $10 Million book deal money.

[4rcane]

funny how he felt the need to leak memo to get special, counsel appointed but didn’t feel the need to do that with hillary? Comey is a pure partisan

[djpg]

It doesn’t matter how petty, dishonest, and illogical Comey is. His friend Mueller is going to support him in his efforts to cripple Trump. And the Republicans will let it happen. The only things that can stave off a disaster would be recordings proving beyond a doubt that Comey lied, but I doubt that they exist.

[CptnObvious]

“After former President Clinton met on the plane with the attorney general, I considered whether I should call for the appointment of a special counsel and decided that would be an unfair thing to do because I knew there was no case there,"

Barf! The had classified info on her rogue server and worse. That's at least worth one FELONY. Shows Comey is PARTISAN when it comes to the LAW.

[Liz]

It became clearer why the glib Comey dropped all those bombs....one right after another.......

.....he’s got a 10 million book deal......

Everything he calculatedly managed to say at the hearing......distilled into a sound beat.....is going to make a great chapter heading.

[philman_36]

It seems to me that he was trying to get ahead of getting thrown under the bus by throwing others under it first.

And you have to wonder how he could be stupid enough to then go and throw himself under the bus saving others the trouble.

35. Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.

Collusion seems such a...gauche...term to use regarding #35.

[Flick Lives]

Comey wanted to prevent the appointment of a special counsel for Hillary Clinton, who was the subject of an FBI investigation, but he wanted to “prompt” the appointment of a special counsel for President Trump, who was not the subject of an FBI investigation.

He understood that the appointment of a special counsel “would send the message, ‘Uh-huh, there’s something here’” and that it would be “many months later or a year later” before the special counsel would announce that, in fact, “there was no case there.”

---

Translation: Comey wanted to smear Trump thru a leaked fabricated memo to prevent Trump from being exonerated.

Lynch = Obama puppet
Comey = Clinton puppet

Sometimes their strings get crossed. Witness Congress’ punch(Lynch) & judy(Comey) show.

When did Trump tweet about the possibility of the tapes?

When did the NYT run the article.

Is it true that the tweet came after the NYT article?

Please help me sort this out.

[trebb]

I woke up in the middle of the night on Monday night because it didn’t dawn on me originally, that there might be corroboration for our conversation. There might be a tape. My judgment was, I need to get that out into the public square. I asked a friend of mine to share the content of the memo with a reporter. Didn’t do it myself for a variety of reasons. I asked him to because I thought that might prompt the appointment of a special counsel.”

What he really meant was that he wanted badly to find out if there was a tape so he would know how much he could lie and get away with it......he used his contact as a scapegoat to leak his own memo in an attempt to find out if the truth was out there in hard form which would open him to perjury if he testified the way he wanted to.
