On his storied pursuit of style guru Martha Stewart, Comey unpacked his tortured logic for the ABC audience: “I almost hesitated and almost didn’t bring the case against Martha Stewart, in hindsight, because she was rich and famous. And decided that if she were anybody else, any other ordinary person, she would be prosecuted.”

Apparently his heady algorithm of “what matters in the long run” and “what does my country stand for?” dictated that Martha Stewart be prosecuted.

Those norms were apparently suspended when applied in the case of Hillary Clinton.

dictated that rich and famous Martha Stewart be prosecuted........yet he apparently surrendered his
"fly-by-night altruism" in the case of Hillary Clinton.

REALITY CHECK--Hillary would have the power to elevate him to a better-paying federal job........Martha did not.

Martha was convicted of Obstruction of Justice and lying to the FBI.

Hillary and her Cattle Futures weren't even investigated.

[ James Comey prays at the altar of James Comey ]

Wow, and this outta Massachusetts, too. I'd say he prays at another altar. I see these people every day at Yahoo when I go for my email. They truly are this delusional.

Things that ought to grab the attention of any Christian who understands Bible Prophecy:

The guy you have a man crush on took a dump on the USC daily.
He and the hag you protected from going to the clink is as corrupt as they come.
And you?
You’re a very tall poofer who should be in jail as well.

Come is a fraud and hypocrite much like the character of Reverend Arthur Dimmesdale in “The Scarlet Letter”.

‘We hold these truths to be self-evident,’ right? Truth is the fourth word of that sentence. That’s what we are. And if we lose that, if we lose tethering of our leaders to that truth, what are we?”

That kind of smarmy, self-serving condescension goes even beyond Hillary Clinton, and into Nancy Pelosi/Marlo Thomas territory.

Just heard Comedy say on TV that “everyone” needs to buy his important “book”. I’ll bet he hopes they do. He’s going to need the money to hire lawyers to keep him out of prison.

He busts Martha Stewart but let’s Omar Mateen go because he claimed racism and profiling. Then he shoots up a gay bar. Comey is a politically correct policeman and that is dangerous.

James Comey us the Kim Kardashian of the Deep State.....and hero of the Anti-Trump Republicans, and the hero-whistle blower Uni-Party Resistance Movement.

I heard a clip this morning of Comey, with that strange feminine thing in his voice, condemning Trump for calling for his arrest, a private person.

No, Comey is definitely NOT a private person. This man walked up and down the corridors of the highest government power for years. Trump called for his accountability for what he did while holding that immense power.

Comey’s voice is what makes me shudder. He maintains this sweet, syrupy quality that I think he deceives himself into believing makes all his motives and ideas pure. He is floating around in the puffy clouds of a make-believe phony morality which enables him to condemn in Trump what he has been busily engaging in himself.

Comey’s mental image of himself - we ARE the government, and we ARE great - is what most deep staters acquire - a far to lofty, arrogant image of themselves.

Comey’s actual complaint and problem (unstated by him) is very personal and emotional. He joined the ranks of so few FBI Directors (only William Sessions comes to mind) who lost their job because they were sacked. He’ll never have the legacy of most modern FBI Directors who stayed in office until they chose to leave or retired.

There is nothing worse for the Washington D.C. set than to leave high appointed office in disgrace or by being sacked. It’s a high humiliation. And there sits Comey. I understand his emotion, and now, with his book and press interviews he’s venting his feelings. Too bad. Doesn’t improve his standing or change many opinions of him.
