While Comey strongly defended his FBI team against any “personal political motivations,” the passages show a different point of view regarding Obama and Lynch, whom he believes both “jeopardized” the credibility of his investigation with their statements prior to its conclusion.

“Contributing to this problem, regrettably, was President Obama,” writes Comey, according to a pre-release copy obtained by the Washington Examiner.

Describing Obama as a “very smart man who understands the law very well,” Comey wonders why “he spoke about the case publicly and seemed to absolve her before a final determination was made.”

Comey also criticized former Attorney General Lynch’s insistence on characterizing the Clinton email probe as a “matter” instead of an “investigation.”

Comey Throws Obama And Lynch Under The Bus

It's the other way around.

Obama long ago threw Comey and his Deputy under the bus.

The latter is true because the former is false.

So Comey, as the FBI Director, couldn't stand up to Lynch when she was telling him to do things he wasn't ‘comfortable’ with?

Watching Stepinitopolus, his only concern was for what Comey did to Hilary.

Describing Obama as a “very smart man who understands the law very well,”

I wonder on what basis he makes this judgement.

I very much doubt that the Director of the FBI spends much time with the President in any administration.

It was only a matter of time until they started turning on each other. No honor among thieves.

Hillary is King when it comes to throwing people under the bus. Comey is competing for the title now.

You know, the more I look at what has come out and think back to his behavior during the election with “investing Hillary or not”, it really seems like he was just in way over his head after all. No genius strategy” just an “Oh @! I’d better do SOMETHING....”

I thought there would be a thread reviewing the interview, but I guess no one cared enough to start one.
