Jim Comey deserves a special place in the annals of sanctimonious frauds in Washington, D.C. He leaked, lied, bent rules, treated FBI material as his own personal property, violated confidential conversations, and generally acted like a government unto himself. But now he has the gall to write it all up in the sonorous nonsense language of “constitutional crisis.” His forthcoming memoir amounts to nothing more than the sour grapes of a self-serving operator over a wholly justified sacking.
The media is already burbling over its fatuous contents. Ever the leaker, Comey tossed a pre-publication morsel of gossip from the book to the liberals at the Daily Beast — Comey’s claim that General Kelly commiserated with him over his “dishonorable” firing. The White House has denied the claim. So Comey is already cashing in on betrayed confidences, all while lecturing others about “loyalty” and probity.
What Comey calls “higher loyalty” is just adherence to the interests of an unaccountable ruling class and the needs of his own ego. Comey slithered out of the swamp and now plays the great conscience of Washington. He sighs, looks heavenward, quotes Reinhold Niebuhr, tries hard to look very thoughtful — only to relay low hearsay and peddle anti-Trump dreck. Who cares? Comey’s wounded ego is not a constitutional crisis. The scandal is not that he lost his exalted job but that such a pompous creep once held it.
To understand the depth of Comey’s leaking and lying, all you have to do is go back and look at his scummy maneuvering in response to Trump’s “wiretap” tweets. Those tweets turned out to be entirely accurate: The Obama administration was intercepting communications at Trump Tower, both during the campaign and the transition.

bingo
I still don’t understand why this 7 foot length of leaking lower intestine has not been arrested for stealing gubmint documents and leaking them to the media. It would be very sweet if Sleepy Sessions wakes up, has the FBI raid the home, office, and hotel room of Comey’s friend-in-academia-turned-personal-attorney who leaked the documents to the media. Ready? Go!
“...He leaked, lied, bent rules, treated FBI material as his own personal property, violated confidential conversations, and generally acted like a government unto himself...”
And, like Lerner, Holder, Lynch, Clinton, etc., remains free from prosecution\jail.
Two Americas on display.
Comey lies coming and going when it comes to Donald J. Trump proving he’s just a Democrat hack appointed to do political dirty work at the FBI which I think has been its sad history even back to J. Edgar Hoover’s day.

If only Jeff Sessions hadn’t died, he might have investigated such a perversion of the use of the FBI.
un-Americans
Will somebody do something about his Bullchit lies? My gawd they are letting this POS get away with this?....

Comey has always worked for Obama and there lies his loyalties. He still is working for him as his book proves.
If he was certain that Donald Trump was going to be elected, I suspect he might have had Hillary Clinton dragged out of the Democratic National Convention in handcuffs.
All these people had been illegally spying on Trump, and when he was elected they desperately covered it up and tried to bring Trump down. This included Comey. McCain, Brennan, Clapper, and many others.
amen....
So, there was more than a “smidgen” of corruption under Barry’s watch? SHOCKED! Why isn’t this jerk in prison?
Washed-out Mueller CANT SEEM TO FIND what is really out there. He’s like a one-eyed prospector who knows “there’s gold in them thar hills,” but Mueller keeps coming up dry with every jab of his pick-axe.
The following investigations would yield paydirt.....(but Mueller knows his handlers, power-stricken Democrats, would scream bloody murder):
(hat tip VDH)
In his search for instances of lying, Mueller might re-examine the false testimonies given to investigators by McCabe and by Clinton aides Cheryl Mills and Huma Abedin.
In his search for Russian collusion, Mueller might also investigate Steele, Glenn Simpson of Fusion GPS and the Clinton campaign. All used Russian sources to leak unproven gossip and smears to the press in an effort to warp the 2016 election.
In his search for obstruction of justice, Mueller might also investigate whether top DOJ and FBI officials deliberately misled the FISA Court before and during after the 2016 election cycle by withholding evidence that the Steele dossier was flawed. Did Justice Department officials inform the FISA Court that Steele’s dossier was hired research paid for by the Clinton campaign? Did they tell the court that the FBI had stopped using Steele as a source for purportedly leaking information to the media? Did they tell the court that Comey was on record as saying the Steele dossier might not have been credible?
In his search for felonious behavior concerning the leaking of classified documents, Mueller might determine:
1) Whether the memos regarding presidential conversations that Comey leaked to the press were classified;
2) Whether former top national security and intelligence officials — among them John Brennan, James Clapper, Samantha Power, Ben Rhodes and Susan Rice — requested that the redacted names of surveilled Americans be unmasked, and whether officials then illegally leaked those names to the media;
3) Whether FBI officials such as Comey and McCabe leaked confidential findings from their investigations to the press during the 2016 campaign and lied to investigators about it.
Heck, why leave all the good stuff for Mueller? Trump does have a DOJ, doesnt he (snicker)?
Comey has a long history as a Clintoon fixer.
It would be very sweet if Sleepy Sessions wakes up
***************
Yes it would, but not going to happen. Sessions is a Deep State plant. He was likely the “insurance policy” that Strozk and Page referred to.
A good, concise comment! Pretty much sums up the traitorous cabal in a few words.
