James Comey Would Like to Help
New York Times ^ | 12 October 2019 | Matt Flegenheimer

Posted on 10/12/2019 4:25:45 PM PDT by Magnatron

James Comey [snip] daydreams about deleting the civic-minded Twitter feed where a bipartisan coalition pronounces him a national disgrace.

He sleeps soundly — 9 hours a night, he ballparks — and organizes the self-described “unemployed celebrity” chapter of his life around a series of workaday goals. “One of my goals has been to get to 10 consecutive pull-ups,” Mr. Comey said in an interview, legs crossed on the back porch [snip]. “I’m at nine now. So, I’ve been doing a lot of pull-ups.”

He writes and thinks and reads and worries from a tidy downstairs office surrounded by the trinkets of his past: the White House place card from the night President Trump asked for his “loyalty” as F.B.I. director; a book by Nate Silver, the political data whiz who believes Mr. Comey’s explosively ambiguous letter in October 2016 about the Hillary Clinton email investigation probably handed Mr. Trump the election; a page from a quote-of-the-day calendar, saved for its resonance: “Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.”

“It reminds me so much of the F.B.I.,” Mr. Comey said.

But then, a lot of things have lately. Another Trump-branded election interference scandal is upon us. Institutions are wobbling. And Mr. Comey, as ever, cannot fight a nagging conviction about it all: James Comey can help. He must help.

“I feel stuck,” he said. “Like I can’t do something else. And I couldn’t look myself in the mirror if I went and did something easy.”

What he is doing, exactly, is not entirely clear even to him. Rather than proceed with the standard arc of an erstwhile intelligence leader — think tanks, corporate boards, studied political silence — Mr. Comey has pledged to spend the next 13 months working to drive Mr. Trump from power.

You’ll have plenty of time for pull-ups in the Big House, Jimmy.

I have some rocks that need broken at Leavenworth, some painting at Gitmo and some floor sweeping at USP Florence ADMAX.

His choice.

Never forget that “poor Comey,” who is meandering about trying to appear cool is the man who initiated spying on a duly elected president of the United States, a seditious and treasonous enterprise of interlocking government agencies and foreign intelligence services, liberal fascists all trying to conduct a coup to thwart the electoral results willed by American citizens.

Short of being in front of a firing squad, he is definitely orange suit material.

True. Upsetting as it means bad guys skate and good guys go to solitary confinement. That cannot lead to a cohesive populace in any nation including ours.

The social fabric is about to be shredded at the seams.

We call justice bringing the corrupt to trial and punishment if found guilty.

The left calls "justice" revenge against Trump for legally winning a fair election. Grounds? They hate him and his hair style and tweet style.

Maybe it’s the white wine, bourbon, anal nitrate, and anti-anxiety pills talking but I think James Comey’s pronouncements a month before the 2016 election is what truly sank Hillary’s chances.

I prefer the last cigarette, blindfold, and ten shots to the heart for traitors like Comey.

I’m betting that he wrote the whistleblower’s complaint.

I bet Comey commits suicide in the next 5+ years after his cover as being an honest most trustworthy person who even went against the Bush administration got unraveled by TRUMP

I don't think Comey can handle his disgrace lol

Just don't face the wall while you do them.

I hope he does. But Unless assisted by Hillary Clinton, I very seriously doubt that he does.

His workout routine should consist of making little rocks out of big rocks 10 hours a day rain or shine.

Jimbo, you’d do better to practice bending over in the shower, and spending time on your knees.
