I’d wonder if DJT is working on a “Say as I do.” command.
Resulting in Comey’s complicity, wherein, he will resign.

Hope there’s some kind of logic behind this.

Anyone kept over from the Obama administration, especially someone with Comey’s long history, is a simply wrong. This guy is compromised. Surely President Trump can find someone more credible to head the FBI!

I don’t know. He knows where the bodies are buried and could be very useful if flipped.

This may be true, but I am not about to believe it at first jump one the word of the New York Times.

Well, he knows where the bodies are buried in the recent unpleasantness, so at least there’s that, and I don’t doubt that he’s fawning his behind off to avoid prosecution himself.

Why?

He told the truth about Hillary. He probably has the entire Encyclopedic set of case files on the bitch...ready to deliver to Sessions.

That should be Sessions call
Comey knows where the Clinton skeletons are buried for sure
But I would think he is too politically tainted to be effective in actually prosecuting

I guess that’s the end of hearing Trump going on about “Crooked Hillary”

This coupled with his gushing about his great “respect” for Bill and Hill on Friday and Barry apparently not feeling a need to give Hill a pardon gives me a sinking sense about the agencies that could well do Trump in.

Knowing where the bodies are buried is about to turn into a Thailand moment, lol.

Comey made it sound like he wanted to prosecute Hillary and had ample evidence to, but had been directed not to. Might be smart to retain the guy.

Probably that he doesn’t need yet another confirmation at the moment. Especially this one. Sufficient unto the day... :-)

Hearsay from an enemy source. Doubtful.

No he didn’t, he contorted all sorts of lies by which he concluded she and her staff had no intent to do anything wrong. He also made sure that key players weren’t questioned under oath, had time and means to coordinate stories, didn’t hand over critical evidence, etc., etc.

Nothing Comey could half-heartedly say or do could make up for his obstruction of justice in a case by which Hillary should already be “locked up”.
