Richard Cohen: James Comey a bad choice for FBI - WaPo OPINION piece - July 1, 2013
Comey, too, is a hard-charger. The Wall Street Journal's editorial page compiled an impressive list of Comey's prosecutorial excesses, including the prosecution of two lobbyists for the American Israel Public Affairs Committee under the 1917 Espionage Act. The case was finally dropped, but not before both men lost their jobs, a whole lot of money and, I would suspect, a whole lot of sleep. ...The OpEd goes on to say Comey is not a bad man. I disagree. Comey is a bad man. He will stab you in the back, he is a liar, he is (as you say) conniving, and he is duplicitous.Comey has exercised his power in disturbing ways. Just as Obama overlooked Eric Holder's role in the 2001 Marc Rich pardon, the president is now overlooking the warning signs in Comey's record -- ticks of a disturbing zealotry.

Wow! I had no idea Comey was that bad. Your post is the first I’ve seen of his prosecutorial excesses. The worst I’d read was that he’s made a career out of getting the crime-family-Clintons off the hook. But his absolutely unjust *destruction* of those two Jewish (I’m assuming) guys is sickening. Just horrible.
I really shouldn’t be as shocked. If Comey were not all the things you mentioned—a bad man, a backstabber, a liar, conniving, and duplicitous—Obama wouldn’t have picked him. I’m serious. A profound lack of integrity seemed to be Obama’s litmus test. I’m so, SO glad he’s out of the WH.
Oh, and incidentally, antisemitism would have played beautifully with Obama too. Those were eight years of hard time we did under his vile tenure. We are so blessed that Trump won.
