He knew Obama’s Justice Department would sweep Hillary’s violations under the rug, so he played along.

Before we turn first to leaking, some disclosure. I am fond of Jim Comey and have been for 30 years. I vigorously disagree with both his handling of the Clinton emails investigation and the manner in which the FBI has conducted what is supposed to be a classified, counterintelligence probe of Russia’s interference in the 2016 election — not a public, government-orchestrated campaign of insinuation that Trump was complicit in Russian perfidy.
No doubt because of my personal regard for him and respect for his high-end ability, I am inclined to cut the former director slack. He was thrust into a no-win situation: It is not his fault that Democrats nominated a criminal suspect, or that Republicans nominated an irregular politician heedless of the norms of discretion and distance that a president should maintain when dealing with his law-enforcement subordinates. Comey aside, I had no better friends in nearly 20 years as a federal prosecutor in New York than Dan Richman, the Columbia Law School prof through whom Comey transmitted information to the New York Times, and Pat Fitzgerald and Dave Kelley, Comey’s lawyers [and yada yada yada]....

Comey was not without his reasons. Trump had ominously and falsely suggested that there were secret recordings of his conversations with the former director. Although the president’s intimation was that Comey might lie about these conversations, Comey believed any tapes would corroborate his version of events. So, he reasonably figured that, by disclosing his account of the Flynn meeting, he might force disclosure of any recordings Trump had — perhaps through a special-counsel investigation of whether the Flynn conversation amounted to obstruction.

Comey, Clapper and Brennan plotted to take down Trump and disenfranchise Millions.
Yeah, McCarthy doesn’t mention they’re his good friends, too.
This is only allowed because Sessions has the same double standard as Clapper, Comey, and Brennan.

Interestingly Trump’s “jabs” at the FBI so dizzied Saint Comey that he lost his place and had to write a book of lies to explain himself.
It's just the warm up for what is coming down on the corrupt FBI scumbags and dirty cops.
The memos are being highlighted at this point because they completely exonerate President Trump and prove conclusively that the entire Mueller investigation is a fake investigation initiated to frame the President and remove him via a soft coup using fake charges for impeachment
This is sedition at best and it's beginning to look more like treason everyday and your self described best buds are the ring leaders
Even worse, they initiated coup to protect themselves from the crimes they committed while in office working for Obama .
Your disrespect for President Trump blinds you to the fact that he is the most media savvy sophisticate ever to hold office and he is scripting and stage managing the downfall is of your BFFs at a level you do not even realize exists
YUP!
Sorry, I'm not buying any excuses.
“McCarthy’s never-Trump slip is showing.”
This McCarthy guy may have a fine legal mind. Rush relies on him a lot in deciphering legalisms.
But what kind of guy finds friendship in the duplicitous and sanctimonious sorts of Comey and friends?
Andrew C. McCarthy your words are the very reason(s) I voted for Donald J. Trump to be president. The law business has darn near destroyed our Constitution.
Notice how they are all connected? They went to school together, they worked together, their kids are friends or whatever. And then we wonder why an outsider such as Trump is not tolerated.
The deep state is so used to listening to their own voices in that huge echo chamber called Washington, D.C. that we don’t stand a chance of getting through. We need this toilet flushed.
I like his writing a lot, except for the gratuitous Trump bashing. Now I have to wonder what he is leaving out of his columns, to protect his Trump-hating friends.
Boo, hiss.
McCarthy has admired Comey for thirty years - and still likes him.
And this... expert... is extolled by his fellow lawyer, Mark Levin.
Lawyers run DC; that is the problem.
They all have Marxist professors - all!
As so many of our young people do also in the indoctrination centers across this nation.
I had the samel reaction that you did. I used to hold McCarthy in high regard. He seems to be too chummy with all the swamp people based on this piece and it is clouding his normally clear judgement.
It will be interesting to see if Rush addresses this on his show Monday.
