He was probably doing Susan...........
Comey was also in the middle of the Scooter Libby fiasco, as I recall.
That I didn’t know. Thanks.
Comey has millions. It’s not like he’s a GS-3 and really needed bribe money from the Clintons to pay for his dog’s toe nail surgery.
He’s also done many favors for the Clintons. It’s not like he had to do this to gain favor with the Clintons.
Comey is just a filthy, stinking piece of shirt.
Well Obama does pick losers
So he has lots of practice covering and whitewashing for the Clinton’s
FBI Agents regarding Comey
Lead FBI agent John Giacalone abruptly resigned in the middle of the investigation in February 2016.
pay-for-play involving the Clinton Foundation were not properly vetted, ultimately white washed
FBI agents were blocked from serving search warrants to retrieve key evidence
FBI agents were not allowed to interrogate witnesses and targets without warning
FBI agents had been trying to interview Clinton since December 2015, approval delayed by top brass
FBI agents believed Clinton case was being “slow-walked” to run-out-the-clock
FBI agents stunned that targets Cheryl Mills and Heather Samuelson were permitted to sit in on Hillary Clinton’s FBI interview.
Clinton and aides cited amnesia. In Clinton’s case she claimed due to medical complications.
Attempts to secure Clinton’s medical records to confirm her head injury were sabotaged by FBI Director James Comey
Not if the nature of the game is to destroy the US as we know it.
In other words, to "Fundamentally Transform" it.
I want to see Giulian1 in charge of FBI, Christi in charge of Justice Dept
Nice list. Thanks!
They potentially could have some serious ‘dirt’ on him. That is precisely how the Clintons operate.
I'd rather have Giuliani in charge of the Justice Dept. And Christi perhaps dog catcher in some small NJ town or hamlet.
Wonder how much this ethically deficient “investigator” has bagged covering up the various Clinton crimes? Some choir boy he is.
Could be.
But, then he could resign.
Everyone gets the choice.....
Good or Bad?
He had the choice.
He chose to go with the Bad.
That’s his choice.
Now, he gets to live with it.
He will go down in history as the man who destroyed the American Republic.
Hope he enjoys it.
He's far from being alone in that decades-old scheme.
He will come to epitomize it, though.
He will be seen as the one who introduced royalty into our nation.
IOW, Comey is their go to guy. Bought and paid for.
The dirt they have is what he’s already done for them. He ought to resign in shame but these people have no shame.
