James Comey's very bad day
Flopping Aces ^ | 12-15-19 | DrJohn

Posted on 12/16/2019 9:29:13 AM PST by Starman417

I warned him.

I told him back in April that then would probably have been a good time for him to leave the country. His malfeasance was already recognized:

Comey violated FBI protocols to try to nail Trump.

Comey exonerated Hillary Clinton long before she was even interviewed by the FBI.

Comey leaks, but when he does it he does not believe it is a leak.

To this day Comey says he doesn’t know who paid for the Russian dossier.

When a Chinese spy was found working for Dianne Feinstein she was given notice and she fired him. Comey never gave Donald Trump a heads-up about attempts by the Russians to corrupt the election.

Comey did not tell Trump that it was Hillary Clinton and the DNC who paid for the dossier. He said “it wasn’t necessary for my goal.” Which was to frame Trump, of course.

Three times Comey told Trump he was not under investigation but refused to say it publicly.

Too late. Keep that last one in mind.

Comey is guilty as hell. He knew in the spring of 2016 that Carter Page was a Confidential Human Source (CHS), July at the very latest.

But they conveniently omitted that fact from their phony FISA application.

Comey also left this out

Today all his blustering and pomposity vanished. Mostly.

A mere few days after claiming exoneration, Comey was admitting he was wrong, but it really wasn't his fault:

Former FBI Director James Comey admitted on "Fox News Sunday" that the recently released Justice Department Inspector General’s report on the launch of the FBI’s Russia investigation and their use of the surveillance process showed that he was "overconfident" when he defended his former agency's use of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).

This comes days after Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s report and testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee detailed concerns that included 17 “significant errors and omissions” by the FBI’s investigative team when applying for a FISA warrant to monitor former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page. Horowitz referred “the entire chain of command” to the FBI and DOJ for “how to assess and address their performance failures” during the probe, which was conducted while Comey was in charge. "He's right, I was wrong," Comey said about how the FBI used the FISA process, adding, "I was overconfident as director in our procedures," and that what happened "was not acceptable."

Comey refused to have his security clearance reinstated so he wouldn't have to answer any questions from Michael Horowitz. How convenient. Watch as Comey dodges the facts:

Did you catch it? Comey claimed that Trump wasn't under investigation. Monumental lie. Trump fired Comey precisely because while Comey three times told Trump privately that Trump was not a target of the investigation Comey would not say it publicly.

Trump was a target and I suspect this might be one of those things with which John Durham disagrees.

We can live safer and better without the FBI 24/7 $crewing with our lives, politics and our rights guaranteed by our constitution.

Very Bad Day? Comey??

Never happen.

IF he ever went to jail - then that. That would be a VBD.

But that won’t happen.

Pride goeth before a fall.

The guy was just plain stupid to say "told ya so". And I'm guessing that's why they let him pass. They were certain it would puff him up....and Voila!!

I thought Feinstein’s spy was allowed to retire with benefits and no charges.

No?

He along with many others were convinced Hillary would win and that the whole mess would be swept under the carpet.

Comey appeared on the program without a neck tie. It was too uncomfortable to be reminded of the noose that is encircling his neck.

He is still waking up in his own bed a free man.

That’s another bad day for US.

“Never happen.”

Ranking members of the political class are not punished. Comey is close enough to being in the political class that he’ll be protected. It’s like being a wise guy in the mob.

And besides, Comey knows were a LOT of bodies are buried.

I know many of us do not like Chris Wallace, but give him his due on this interview. It was brutal and Comey’s answers were inadequate at best and contradictory to his prior statements at worst. If this was a preview of his future, Comey is in a very bad spot as he seemed incapable of answering questions satisfactorily and on top of that, he was forced to acknowledge that his previous answers before congress and statements to the media were wrong.

The damage is done. Stop and consider the angst this man put the nation through with his swampy machinations to have Mueller appointed to investigate a crime that never existed and an investigation that never once corroborated the original allegation. His behavior and judgement will forever taint the investigation of Clinton in the minds of millions of Americans.

What a mess. We have lived with it drip by drip for 3 years, but when you step back and look at the entire picture beginning with the email investigation all the way through the Trump persecutions it is incredible.

Thank you DrJohn .

That clarifies the situation, Comey ios as slippery as an eel and he keeps spining.

This is no spin.

Comey should be jailed for espionage.

This leads all the way to the magic community organizer president of dirty name.

Comey, I’m thinking, is the male Kamala Harris.

I think the most pertinent point in all of this, the one that even low info voters will find compelling, is: Why didn't you tell Donald Trump of your concerns about people close to his campaign? Unless you had it in for him.

And as for Comey distancing himself to things "7 levels below" his puffy white cloud...that makes sense if they're investigating moonshine at a Chickahatchee County farm, but this was a US Presidential campaign and later a presidency. Stuff of global significance, stuff about which you might even be forgiven for bothering President Obama with a heads up.

Will Comey be prosecuted, though...

Nope.

Well, nobody likes Comey. Perhaps Wallace holds a grudge for the way Comey dinged Hillary a few days before the election. Many have said she'd be POTUS if not for Comey.

spot on analysis - Comey deserves a lot more bad days to follow. Obviously, he has yet to come truly clean about what happened and why. Hopefully, a grand jury can coax that out of him.

Comey is the result of an illegal alien being able to usurp the Presidency (twice)!

Second democrat leaving party.

State Senator John Yudichak of Luzerne County, Pennsylvania said that he will be switching his registration to become an Independent. He will caucus with the Republican majority.

Yudichak has criticized an increasingly liberal Democratic caucus that has led to this decision.
