James Comey: How Trump Co-opts Leaders Like Bill Barr
NY Times ^ | 5/1/2019 | James Comey

Posted on 05/01/2019 4:33:32 PM PDT by CaptainK

People have been asking me hard questions. What happened to the leaders in the Trump administration, especially the attorney general, Bill Barr, who I have said was due the benefit of the doubt?

How could Mr. Barr, a bright and accomplished lawyer, start channeling the president in using words like “no collusion” and F.B.I. “spying”? And downplaying acts of obstruction of justice as products of the president’s being “frustrated and angry,” something he would never say to justify the thousands of crimes prosecuted every day that are the product of frustration and anger?

Comey knows what is coming. Barr is going to hold him accountable. Comey must demonize Barr so can call his coming prosecution a political act.

I’d say Comey is “$hittin’ a show” and is trying to deflect what will eventually HEAD HIS WAY!

And what would have happened to Comey’s soul if Trump had not of fired him? Comey would still be working for Trump as FBI Dir. Idiot!

They are expending tremendous amounts of money and energy to create what is in effect an alternate reality. They are doing this in anticipation of devastating disclosures and releases by PDJT.

They are going to try to control the narrative by creating mass confusion, hoping their control of the legacy media will be sufficiently influential to pull them through.

They are developing a model for the even more immersive-media future, when virtual reality will allow them to bring even larger segments of the population under their complete control. Separate realities will exist for different political factions.

The models for this are the “flat earth” and “moon-landing hoax” cults on the internet.

James Comey is a textbook sociopath.

Can barely wait for his criminal indictments!

I don’t think it’s a coincidence he penned this screed shortly after reading Rod’s resignation letter.

So now Comey’s saying that Trump is a Jedi Master?

I heard this editorial was on the NYTimes front page today. That's pretty typical for the Democrat Party street corner tabloid. The Teenage Drama Queen probably demanded it.

I read it and many of the comments.

It was mostly all pretty weird. I can’t understand why people are so amazingly stupid.
