Nursing Election Grievances, Hillary Clinton Supporters Curse Comey
New York Times ^ | April 16, 2018 | By MICHAEL D. SHEAR

When it comes to James B. Comey’s book-tour crusade against President Trump, the question for hard-core Hillary Clinton fans boils down to this: Curse Mr. Comey, or cheer him?

Curse him, mostly.

They may be card-carrying members of “the Resistance,” who oppose everything that the president stands for, but Mrs. Clinton’s former aides and advisers are still too angry at Mr. Comey, the former F.B.I. director, to see past what they view as his egregious actions that handed the White House to Mr. Trump.

In interviews, Twitter posts, television appearances and private grumblings, Team Hillary is using Mr. Comey’s tell-all book to relitigate their grievances, even at the risk of undermining Mr. Comey’s credibility and handing Republicans — and Mr. Trump himself — more ammunition to question the character of one of the president’s most high-profile political adversaries.

“The damage Comey did to the country by the role he played in the election far, far surpasses any credit he now gets for calling Trump out,” said Jared Bernstein, who served as one of Mrs. Clinton’s senior economic advisers during the campaign. “History will remember and judge him for the former, not the latter.”

Comey did say Hillary was too stupid to have understood what she did was wrong. I think he called her “unsophisticated” but did imply she just didn’t have it.

I could care less what Comey says about Hillary or Trump - he’s a fraud.

Why are they mad? Because he failed to hand the election to her by exonerating her for crimes that would have landed lesser people in prison?

Good. If Trump ever feels the need to fire Mueller and his legal witch-hunters, he can cite the FBI’s incompetence, politicization to all the leftist Hillary supporters who will scream so loudly.

Clintonoids believe language was invented to lie to lesser humans—they will say she is stupid to exonerate her, brilliant if they wish to promote her...

Really a very perceptive article, with this great line:

They may be card-carrying members of “the Resistance,” who oppose everything that the president stands for, but Mrs. Clinton’s former aides and advisers are still too angry at Mr. Comey, the former F.B.I. director, to see past what they view as his egregious actions that handed the White House to Mr. Trump.

Now we at least have a four sided firing squad, all firing at each other: Comey firing at McCabe, who's happily shooting back; the Clintonoids shooting at Comey; and Loretta Lynch shooting at McCabe and Comey. This pretty well screws their ability to hang together in ongoing OIG investigations and, hopefully, (Jeff Sessions, are you listening??) trials. It's really different from what happened under BJ where everybody hung together, stonewalled, and lied. Also a good chance this venomous disarray will keep a bunch of anti-Trump jurors from becoming "OJ jurors" and letting any one of these backstabbers off, possibly except for LL, who isn't a cracker.

It seems to me that, what always gets lost in the shuffle, is that the late October actions by Comey, were triggered because they found Hillary’s emails on Weiner’s computer.

And Hillary’s aide Huma Abedin was off the campaign trail in those final days before the election. Hillary’s top aide wasn’t with her at the very end.

And we know that Weiner was under investigation for all the sexting underage girls business.

Anyway, I seldom hear anyone mention the Weiner angle as part of Hillary’s troubles.

Hillary never accepts reponsibility for anything.

That's why she would have fit right in as the next democrat president.

She could have kept the party tradition alive.

The only people Hillary hasn't blamed for her election loss are Hillary herself and possibly Webb Hubbell's daughter.

Yeah, Comey’s got the entire team of yapping Clintonista hyenas howling for his blood. Fortunately he has his good friend Donald Trump to protect him. Of course, I could be wrong about that.

“The damage Comey did to the country by the role he played in the election......”

Comey actually “helped” American avoid Hitlary’s potential chance to become the countries first female dictator. If anything he needs to be praised and thanked for doing such.

Hitlary and her ilk need to fade away into the un-worldly darkness they live in.
