I liked when he pointed out that Comey would be a disaster as a witness for the procecution.

Also anyone who pleads guilty to lying offense is worthless as a witness.

It is worse than even being a disaster as a witness.

I began this thread last night: VANITY: The Inspector General Report was very important...Here's why... where I listed eight key points the IG report was significant, and two points in particular destroy Comey:


POINT #2: COMEY USED PERSONAL EMAIL ACCOUNTS FOR OFFICIAL FBI BUSINESS. Comey admitted he used a personal email account for official business. And he is running the probe into someone accused of using a personal email account for...official business. This destroys Comey utterly, and he had to know it. It also means any idiotic (and we all knew it was idiotic from day one, but that never meant it wouldn't happen) "obstruction of justice" charge against Trump for firing Comey is...stillborn. If it ever went to a point where Comey is called to testify in any obstruction of justice proceeding, he would be shredded. He knows it, too. One can imagine this exchange (and one can imagine this as the lead-off question, too):

DEFENSE FOR TRUMP: Mr. Comey, what were you in charge of investigating regarding email during the 2016 Presidential campaign?

COMEY: I was running an investigation into whether then candidate Hillary Clinton had been using a personal email account for official government business on an unauthorized server.

DEFENSE FOR TRUMP: Mr. Comey, have you ever, in violation of the law, used personal email accounts for official FBI business?

COMEY: Er...uh...yes.

DEFENSE FOR TRUMP: These proceedings are closed.


POINT #3: COMEY DID NOT KNOW HUMA ABEDIN WAS MARRIED TO ANTHONY WEINER. Really? Really, really? This might not destroy him legally, but at best, it is going to destroy him intellectually. Could he REALLY be such a cloddish dolt? Could he really, REALLY have been this totally uniformed and ignorant, especially as it relates to to one of the single most explosive, controversial, and historically impactful FBI investigations in American history. This is not an insignificant thing. And to even consider he may not have, at the time of either the FBI probe or during the IG interview with him is stunning.


Good Lord. How on earth did we get here?

Gowdy is being smart about this.

When the whole discussion revolves around Mueller's investigation of Trump, there's a certain degree of public acceptance of it.

But when it is turned into a discussion about Mueller's investigation of potentially innocent victims of a crooked FBI apparatus, the whole dynamic changes.
