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!
This may be another case of Trump being ahead of the crowd. Comey knew, after the meeting between Lynch and Clinton, the Justice Department would never prosecute Hillary.
So he lays out a case and then says he’s not going to recommend prosecution. Why? He knows the “fix” is in, but he DOES get the details out to the electorate.
With Sessions as AG, there is a good chance the case will be reviewed and a few “pertinent facts” emerge changing the dynamic of the case. Election over...Lynch gone...Hillary without pardon...could be time for a Grand Jury.
Trump, takes the high road and lets Sessions be the bulldog. If he wanted to really destroy the Clintons, he could let everything play out. Let her and the Foundation be indicted, tried, convicted, sentenced and then pardon her for “the good of the country.”
It could be devastating to not only Clinton, but the Democrat party as a whole. Not to mention it would expose the overseas influence in the State Department (which would immediately be purged by Tillerson).
Could be a very interesting couple of years.
Sheriff Clark comes to mind.
Rudy?
“Surely President Trump can find someone more credible to head the FBI!”
He could do that by rousting out a homeless guy down in the slums.
And Comey has had legal dealings with Hillary, and his brother works at the Clinton Foundation. Does not compute.
Well .. I don’t agree.
I believe Comey was threatened to “obey” or else.
Seriously, I believe Comey did what he did .. as a result of the DOJ’s threats (which I’m more than sure happened); and those threats came right from Obama’s WH.
Comey was not going to be allowed to destroy Hillary Clinton .. ever.
I suspect Trump knew that .. and decided he would challenge Comey - do you want your credibility back - by proving he can do the job. But, of course, some of the Repubs may not like what Comey may have to do to get his credibility back.
Anyway, this is just my opinion .. you don’t have to agree.
