Democrats blast FBI director after probe revelation
Associated Press ^ | Mar 20, 2017 5:32 PM EDT | Jonathan Lemire and Sadie Gurman

FBI Director James Comey’s testimony Monday that the bureau has been quietly investigating possible links between associates of President Donald Trump and Russian officials since the summer enraged Democrats who already blame him for rattling the 2016 campaign’s closing days.

For the first time, Comey confirmed that the FBI had opened a probe into the Trump campaign in July, the same month he called an unusual news conference to announce the agency had finished its investigation into whether Hillary Clinton mishandled classified information — and three months before he scrambled the White House race a second time by announcing that the Clinton probe was continuing just days before the election.

The revelation drew the ire of Clinton supporters who called out an apparent double standard and a breach of bureau norms that caused their nominee’s surprising defeat. …

Comey mentioned many times today the Ruskies hated Hillary Clinton.

That claim makes no sense. If they hated her so much, then why did they pay her millions of dollars for our uranium?

The corruption about the Clintons has been out there for years, decades. It has nothing to do with Russians. Democrats and their media lap dogs need to get a grip.

WASHINGTON - Federal investigators are examining whether far-left [ie. ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC, ESPN, NYT, WaPo, LAT, etc.] news sites played any role last year in a Russian cyber operation that dramatically widened the reach of news stories — some fictional — that favored Hillary Clinton's presidential bid, two people familiar with the inquiry say.

Could happen....

Fill in the blank hates Hillary Clinton.

How can that possibly be newsworthy?

Remember...Barack Obama appointed Comey to head the FBI. In his autobiographies, Obama openly declared himself to be a Marxist. So do you think Obama nominated Comey because the latter is anything other than a Leftist? Comey is a snake, people. Wake up!

So, the liberal left dislike Comey, and the Conservative right dislike Comey - -

So, he is either doing something really, really good... or really, really bad.

I’m biased towards JUSTICE....I would ask for his resignation.

It’s funny, FBI director says the Russians hate Hillary, but never says why. Is it the uranium? Maybe it’s crappy uranium. He says they wanted to help Trump, and never says how they know this. Maybe Bill spread an STD over there.

Comey must be part of the vast right-wing Russian conspiracy.

My question to all the bozos out there is why would the Russians hate Clinton and want Trump? Clinton ok’d the Russian Uranium deal. Clinton sounds like a friend to Russia to me.

Clinton ran right to Russia as SOS and gave them the reset button. Wasn’t Clinton supposed to be a brilliant SOS?

Comey is a worthless POS. Both sides hate him. I say fire him, and get Rudy G in there.

I saw an interview with Andrew Klavan a few days ago. He thinks that the Russians fully expected Hillary to win, they weren’t trying to help Trump. They just wanted to give her some trouble to deal with.

When has someone done something really, really good while earning the ire of actual conservatives?

Russians hate Hitlery so much for that Uranium deal, boy howdy.

It seems that no one in Washington wants to bring up thie uranium deal. I certainly see why the Dems and the leftist media (I repeat myself) but I don't know why Republicans have not been shouting about this. Any ideas?

Comey also said something else that was of interest: he said that they will continue with the investigation into the Russians vs the election, “no matter where it leads”....

I would REALLY like to know what he meant by that. And I would also like to know why Trump kept him on board.

And why was Trump, a private citizen, under investigation for YEARS?

It looks like the FBI needs to be dismantled and reorganized from the fish head down.

It is sickening. Truth is nowhere to be seen or even heard of.

I agree. All we have to do is tell the truth.

The Democrats are not after the truth. They are after President Donald Trump. The truth, or untruth is irrelevant to them. Their mission is to delay, stall, and prevent President Trump from implementing his agenda. And If they can nail his hide to the door, so much the better.

Comey’s loyalty and allegiance is to Hillary and Bill Clinton. If you don’t believe it check his employment history.

“I’m starting to think he’s some kind of really twisted psychopath.”

Is sadism a type of psychopathy? To me, he appears to be a sadist, doing whatever he needs to do to mess with people’s minds — and taking extreme enjoyment in watching them squirm. He’s one sick SOB.
