Most of me thinks the same, but knowing the Clinton's penchant for snuffing out their opponents, they may have upped the ante on this one by threatening Comey's family members. It's one thing to risk your own life, but how many of us would want to be in that unenviable position?
Instead of trashing Comey, I've decided to view it in a positive way (mainly to keep my blood pressure in normal range!)
This needs to be a warning for future political/govt appointees of the Dems and the GOPe (i.e. The UniParty): Don't take the job if you're not willing to be put in this impossible situation. You KNOW how crooked they are!
Also, Comey actually gave Trump a gift — an extremely flawed candidate. If Trump plays this right, many Dems will stay home in Nov rather than vote for Hillary. And many will vote for Trump, more people than were going to already. The trick here is if Trump can stay focused and ignore the "death by a thousand cuts" insults that will be coming his way. This Twitter-esque, spontaneous personality trait is fine in business, but his family needs to convince him it makes him an easy target in politics. It is what it is, and he needs to display extra 'cool-headedness' just to offset and upset Hillary's game plan of portraying him as "The Impulsive Don."
And finally, Comey just showed the NeverTrumpers what's in store for our Republic if they continue trashing Trump and splitting his support — Hillary may win. The only NeverTrumpers who won't be influenced and persuaded by this very public display of a corrupt, two-tiered legal system ("one for Thee and another for Me") are the Establishment Elites. They are the corrupt UniParty who masquerade as Conservatives and will ALWAYS put Self before Country in the end. (The TPP fiasco is a good example). Trump has already exposed most of them, but Comey's inaction and refusal to enforce the rule of law among the Elites will leave NO doubt about who has chosen the Clinton Crime Syndicate over Freedom & Liberty. (Incidentally, I saw that "Republican" Rick Wilson on MSNBC within hours of Comey's announcement. That guy has some serious issues.)
Finally, never forget: God is controlling this. I firmly believe that if enough of us are left who will turn to Him, He will save us from the fate of becoming a totalitarian country.
He had his own life to take before he betrayed MILLIONS of Americans. He chose the cowardly way and a pension no doubt. The man deserves to be trashed along with every other Obama ass-sucking piece of anti-truth, anti-freedom filth.
This 'gift' he gave Trump is one devoid of legitimate government sanction or endorsement on any level. What he 'gave' Trump is free license to deride an evil government we all know we have, but a ride that is not supported by any quarter of an honorable government. It is corrupt and evil through and through right down to the security guards and the secretaries, frankly.
Indeed, your comment about Trump being an extremely flawed candidate is acceptance bullsh!t and defeatist at best. Any sunshine one can dig out from this is a futile diversion that puts the onus on right triumphing over evil. Americans don't have to accept that - they should condemn it LOUDLY and VEHEMENTLY with very ounce of their being. In my opinion, Comey's offal pronouncement is the foulest shit up with which we should not put.
