James Comey: How Trump Co-opts Leaders Like Bill Barr
NY Times ^ | 5/1/2019 | James Comey

Posted on 05/01/2019 4:33:32 PM PDT by CaptainK

People have been asking me hard questions. What happened to the leaders in the Trump administration, especially the attorney general, Bill Barr, who I have said was due the benefit of the doubt?

How could Mr. Barr, a bright and accomplished lawyer, start channeling the president in using words like “no collusion” and F.B.I. “spying”? And downplaying acts of obstruction of justice as products of the president’s being “frustrated and angry,” something he would never say to justify the thousands of crimes prosecuted every day that are the product of frustration and anger?

HA<HA: I am loving watching these rotten rats and rinos scared of their own shadows...

Comey’s time is coming, don’t know when or where, but his time is coming...

You did hear that Hillary, you know the cabbage smelling old bag that also smells like urine, is holding ‘meetings’ with all the rats that are running for Prez. I have to laugh, she is about as worthless as the rats running around the streets in New York, I am talking about REAL RATS, not the rats in government...

...anyway, the PAIN is coming to all of those that have tried to destroy OUR COUNTRY!!!

This man is seriously mentally and ethically ill

Just like his co-hort Hellary. They just won’t STHU, but on the other hand, maybe that’s not a bad thing.....I hope all this blows up in all their faces!

These people are really pushing it. They're not going to rest until they either destroy Trump or themselves.

>I do not remember Mark Felt/Deepthroat serving any jail time. What year(s) was he in the can for Watergate?

He’s the reason Bill Ayers is guilty as sin yet free as a bird. He violated the Weather Underground’s civil rights with black bag operations to wiretap these known Communist terrorist agents.

Looks like no actual time may have been spent in jail (or was there a hold cell/time served thing?)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Felt

fast forward to 2016...
fraudulent FISA warrant has to be a violation of civil rights and there were taps...

Can’t wait for these hacks to start singing. Barr can not let anyone of the hook with “timed served” This collusion will filter back to Odunga, Canklebeast, Congress, Media....it will be glorious.

I'm pretty sure (but not 100% sure) that Comey’s name is one of the many names that I've heard Joe DiGenova mention when listing the people who will soon be needing a good criminal defense lawyer.

If there is a God, Comey will spend the rest of his life in jail.

I’d better outlive Hillary! LOL.

How does Hillary get wobble and fall down and then get tossed into an suv by burly guys in 2016 and arrogantly and spitefully insult Trump and us deplorables last month on tour again? I thought she was nursing secret ailments and on her last (fat) legs.

On us being old guys: Frank Sinatra had a great toast: May you live to 110 and the last voice you hear be mine.

Comey is slowly and continually going crazy, heading towards a total psychotic breakdown.

And remember, this POS was the head of the FBI for a long period of time as well as having a long career in it. No one knows how much other damage he had done to it, YET!!!

convenient he had two op-eds waiting for today. Not that he would know much of Trump, having been fired rather quickly and subsequently banished to the outer limits of power.
