Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., is praising FBI Director James Comey for his "independence" while investigating politicians on both sides of the political spectrum and for not kowtowing to political pressure during the 2016 presidential campaign.

In a short piece published Thursday honoring him as part of the Time 100 Most Influential People list, the Arizona Republican referred to Comey's "integrity" and argued that it "never wavered" over the past year, despite the presidential campaign that made him a household name.

"Integrity is a word that doesn't get used a lot in Washington anymore. But that is the quality that has defined James Comey's service to our nation," McCain wrote, pointing to Comey's career prior to joining the FBI before touching on his decisions over the past year.

Does any Freeper have a good theory of why Comey is still there, and why someone who knew about dozens of felonies by Hillary and Abedin and Podesta let them all go free without forcing them to have their day in court and wasn’t replaced?

Comey, like J. Edgar Hoover, knows where all the skeletons are buried. All those immunity deals for Clinton staffers are evidence enough that Comey is corrupt.

[RatRipper]

That settles it for me. If McCain says Comey is a good guy, he must be irredeemably dirty and evil.

[Scrambler Bob]

His old ears heard: “And de pants off” has never faltered.

[boomop1]

Comey has the goods on McCain.

[HarleyLady27]

Oh Dear Lord: Is there any way we can rid our Nation of these kinds of idiots? Amen.

Does any Freeper have a good theory of why Comey is still there,

Keep enemies closer.

[FreedomGuru]

Hey John boy shouldn’t Comey be ‘dependent’ on law and order?

[Nifster]

Well gee McShamey what do they have on you?

[A CA Guy]

Based on McCain’s blessings, he must be into some really bad stuff.

[Two Kids' Dad]

McCain is owned by the same cabal that coordinates with the Clinton Crime Syndicate, and so is Comey, so they have to support each other.

I wish Sarah Palin’s running mate would STHU.

Based on McCain’s blessings, he must be into some really bad stuff.

[NormsRevenge]

John, did you forget to take your suppository this morning?

[Mariner]

Praising his criminal co-conspirator.

[Boomer]

Well if Juan is 'lauding' Comey then we know something is hinkey with Comey.

[Vehmgericht]

If Trump was the real article thousands of people would already be in jail. Did Al Sharpton pay his back taxes or is he in jail? The corruption was widespread. Where are the jail sentences?

Any recommendation by McCain is suspect as McCain has clearly lost his mind

[exit82]

McLame and Comey are joined at the hip in complicity in nefarious doings—illegal doings.

They both need to be prosecuted.

And neither have a shred of integrity.

[BookmanTheJanitor]

I can’t believe that McCain was available for an interview. What a scoop. (extreme sarcasm)

[SaraJohnson]

His attack on Trump during and after the election was dishonorable and partisan.
