Comey shares family’s July 4 tradition of reading ‘Burnt’ Declaration of Independence out loud

Former FBI Director James Comey on Wednesday shared a peek at his family’s Independence Day traditions.

In an Instagram post, Comey shared a photo of several numbered pieces of paper with burnt edges, which he explained in a caption are printed with the Declaration of Independence.

The former FBI chief said that every July 4th, his family assigns “parts” and reads the document aloud as a group.

“The Comey family Declaration pieces (long ago made “authentic” by our kids burning the edges and soaking it in coffee),” Comey wrote in the caption. “As always on July 4th, we will assign parts and read today as a family to remember the values at the heart of this great country.”

The Comey family Declaration pieces (long ago made “authentic” by our kids burning the edges and soaking it in coffee.

Not authentic. Paper from the late 1700s was made of rag cloth, not paper like now. I have several books and newspapers from the 1770s to 1790s and they are as clean and white as when new except for very light browning on some of the edges called "foxing." I also have some newspapers and books from the early 1900s that are now brown and brittle with age,

One thing for sure, he does NOT understand this sentence…
But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.”

Wouldn’t burning the edges cause global warming?

Who does he believe he's virtue signaling?

I've lost track.

Do Democrats love him or hate him?

Thank Providence, The Constitution and PDJT that we are largely free from Weasel Comey now.

He’s a liar.

It’s not a tradition.

It has never been a tradition.

No. Not directly.

You could be a liberal, in which case YOUR carbon releases into the atmosphere are not included in the modeling.

They must be reading from the Declaration of Independence of another country. One that had a fire.

After reading the Declaration of Independence, Comey concluded that the founding fathers had no intent to break away from England.

burning the Declaration is a piece of cake.

His good buddy likes to do that.

Comey acts like George Constanza’s girl friend who wore chop sticks in her hair.

Hmmm, is it more likely that his family routinely reads the declaration of Independance aloud OR that he finds it useful to wrap himself in the flag and portray himself as a patriot of the highest order? Hmmm, which could it be....?

The only thing I want to hear this ass-hat read is his confession at his sentencing in federal court.

You sparked a nauseating thought: A Jami Comey following Caitlyn Jenner onto women fashion magazine covers.

Having already become the democrat's/media's pajama-boy, he's halfway there.
