Fired FBI Director James Comey fired off a cryptic tweet Sunday evening after Attorney General Bill Barr confirmed that Special Counsel Robert Mueller found zero evidence that Donald Trump’s camp conspired with Russia during the 2016 election.
But Comey seemed to forget that -- with the hoax he helped to start now lying in an ash heap -- he has a LOT to answer for, legally.
Lindsey Graham helpfully reminded him.
Comey posted a photo of himself in the deep woods. “So many questions,” he captioned it.
So many questions?
It was Comey who set this whole fake Russia ball in motion after he was fired as FBI Director on May 9th 2017. Comey gave portions of his Trump memos to a friend to leak to the New York Times to prompt a special counsel investigation into President Trump.
Comey also conspired with disgraced former intelligence chief James Clapper to push the Russian Dossier hoax, lied to Congress, leaked classified materials, signed off on a FISA warrant (and thus lied to a Federal court) based on what he knew to be unverified DNC opposition research , and on and on...

That’s why we have elections, [deleted]. The President has total authority to appoint a special counsel. And who gives a living crap what the demoncrats think?
USE IT OR LOSE IT!!!
Close down the G-damn border and appoint as many special counsels as needed to bring these high treason co-conspirators to justice.
Time was of the essence 2 years ago. He either has control of the executive branch or he doesn’t. And don’t give me impeachment crap.
We were on borrowed time 3 years ago. He either gets those 2 things done or the people will have to...
I don’t believe the Pres has the authority to appoint a special counsel.
use what or lose what?
Your never-Trump horseshit became annoying long ago poser.
Who would then? The chief executive, the commander in chief, the top AG, the big kahuna...IOWS, the POTUS IS THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH. The reason why we have an election every 4 years.
And there’s plenty of historical precedent of Presidents appointing special counsels and special prosecutors.
The reason why so many people are uninformed about this subject is because they watch idiots like Alan Dershoshitz on TV.
His executive power, obviously. Jeeez
I reiterate, what powers do you suggest he use, specifically?
Drunknet2,
You’re not very bright, are you?
He’s the commander in chief with total authority over national g-damn security. He could have temp fencing up across the whole of the border in 2 weeks with 100’s of thousands of miles of concertina wire. As many troops as he needs. He can SHOOT the invading foreign nationals if he wants to. There is no excuse for allowing this invasion to continue.
He also has total authority to appoint as many special counsels as needed to bring much needed justice to the irreparably corrupt swamp. There is no excuse here, either.
So, he’s either in control of the executive branch or he’s not. It should concern even the dimmest of bulbs out there and God knows there’s a WHOLE LOT of MORONS out there.
You make an allegation and then ask if it’s true. For a poser you’re not very slick.
Blaa blaa blaa. When the stage lights dim, Graham, Pelosi, Schumer and comey will retire to an antechamber and swill lobbyist provided expensive white wine from tax payer funded crystal stemware while complimenting each other for making their base think they are defending their interests. This is kabuki at it’s most cynical in a time that political operatives attempted to overthrow an election and president. If they were serious they would be weighing bodies to measure ropes.
The first federal special prosecutor, John B. Henderson, was appointed by Ulysses Grant in 1875 to investigate the Whiskey Ring scandal. After attempting to stifle Henderson's investigation of the president's personal secretary, Grant fired Henderson on the basis that Henderson's statements to a grand jury regarding Grant were impertinent.[8] Following criticism, Grant appointed a new special prosecutor, James Broadhead, to continue the investigation.
James Garfield appointed the next special prosecutor, William Cook, in 1881 to investigate the Star route scandal. Cook continued his investigation into the Chester Arthur administration. Under the Theodore Roosevelt administration, special prosecutors were appointed to investigate two scandals. In 1903, Roosevelt appointed two special prosecutors (a Democrat and a Republican) to investigate allegations of bribery at the Post Office Department. In 1905, Roosevelt's attorney general, Philander Knox,[9] appointed Francis Heney special prosecutor to investigate the Oregon land fraud scandal.
Calvin Coolidge appointed two special counsels, Atlee Pomerene and Owen Roberts to investigate the Teapot Dome scandal. This appointment was unique in that it was mandated under a special Congressional joint resolution, and was subject to approval in the Senate, similarly to a cabinet appointment.[10] This process was unique in the history of federal special prosecutors.
In 1952, Harry Truman appointed Newbold Morris "special assistant to the Attorney General" to investigate the corruption at the Bureau of Internal Revenue following Congressional pressure and calls for a special prosecutor.[11] After Morris submitted a lengthy questionnaire on personal finances to be completed by all senior executive officers, he was fired by Attorney General Howard McGrath, who was in turn fired by the president. Following the appointment of a new attorney general, the investigation was continued through regular channels.
“This is kabuki at it’s most cynical in a time that political operatives attempted to overthrow an election and president. If they were serious they would be weighing bodies to measure ropes”
Finally, someone with an IQ above double digits.
I thought Trump may have wrote it and told him to post it.
Comey is an idiot who will probably face charges now that he’s lost most of his support from democrats, since he wasn’t able to help take down Trump. They’ve gone back to blaming him for Clinton losing now. Honestly, I wouldn’t doubt if he’s protected. I still don’t trust Graham or Barr. Comey is an establishment republican similar to the Bush family. They’re too dumb to avoid eventually turning everyone against them. Maybe he can cut a deal by giving up Obama now.
LOL!
Can’t see any way anything short of a mass hanging will satisfy for these crimes. These people committed bona fide acts of war against us... and nearly succeeded in installing an occupation government.
Comey is a self serving narcissist. He could be the first to roll over if given a deal. He doesn’t deserve one but there are bigger fish to fry.
