Aside from revealing that President Trump is guilty of exactly nothing but winning an election, James Comey sure did reveal a lot about himself. His feelings are easily hurt, he gets scared in Trump's presence, he gets nauseated, is weak, gets confused and stunned. He is sorry his workforce had to hear what Trump said about the FBI, that it is in disarray. He sounded like a college snowflake on almost any American college campus in need of a safe space.
After a lifetime as a lawyer, U.S. attorney for the Southern District, U.S. deputy district attorney, and corporate lawyer, this is a man who never should have been appointed as director of the FBI. He does not have the temperament for the job. We learned yesterday that he unlawfully leaked his own memo, property of the FBI, to the press to "spur a special prosecutor" and cover his own backside. Why not turn it over to acting director McCabe or the DOJ? Because he's malicious. He likely leaked a whole lot more to the press that is so in love with anonymous sources. The guy was positively Machiavellian in his attempt to smear Trump and protect himself. But Machiavelli would not be proud; Comey was too clever by half. He essentially admitted that Trump had done nothing wrong beyond making Comey uncomfortable, being a compassionate man regarding Michael Flynn, and not using the approved vernacular or prescribed handshake of the D.C. establishment.

“The higher you are in the Establishment, the greater is your fear of losing power.”
So true! I’m now a clerk and constantly fear being demoted back to the mail room.
Thank you for this analysis. Very interesting and timely.
He’s a genuine pussy. Under him, what happened with Benghazi, the SS mess, Fast and Furious, Hillary’s computer, the Clinton foundation? It looks like under him, the feds haven’t done much. Trump should have fire him on day one, as it was obvious then that Comey was inept.
His kind makes my skin crawl,
This is exactly who that demonic Obama creature would use to provide cover for his lawlessness, a weak vacillating double-minded pasty white guy,
One who has an outward appearance of formality but in reality is far less than an empty cheap suit.
Would you want your kid to grow up to be a weasel like this pussy?
I watched most of the farce yesterday.
Comey used the language of a snowflake, employed the methods of a snowflake, sniveled and whined like a snowflake.
Sweet MAGA, I think he truly is afraid of President Trump.
Turns out that the (alleged) cross-dressing Hoover was a better MAN than this weenie FBI Director is.
For an FBI Director, I want a real bad-ass who isn’t afwaid of evwything in his widdle wife.
I almost get the feeling this testimony was theater on his part — that he was putting on a show for some reason that we’re not aware of yet. Nobody is that pathetic and fragile.
Comey is a G-Man: Girly Man.
There is definitely something that needs to be commented on here…. I don’t know how many times last night I heard some talking head or another talking about how Comey talked about Trump lies or Trump being a liar. Is this really the case? To put some facts around this, I just did a word search of the entire hearing… here is what I used https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/08/us/politics/senate-hearing-transcript.html?module=Chatblog®ion=Body&action=click&pgtype=interactive .
And here is what I found….The word ‘lie’ comes up quite a few times but mostly because the word is part of the word ‘believe’ and ‘relieve’. As a standalone word, as far as I can tell the word ‘lie’ only came up twice and the word ‘liar’, once… so let’s go look at those references.
1. Comey: ”And although the law required no reason at all to fire an FBI director, the administration then chose to defame me and, more importantly, the FBI by saying that the organization was in disarray, that it was poorly led, that the workforce had lost confidence in its leader. Those were lies, plain and simple, and I am so sorry that the FBI workforce had to hear them and I’m so sorry that the American people were told them.
2. Comey: And then the nature of the person: I was honestly concerned that he might lie about the nature of our meeting, and so I thought it really important to document.
3. Comey: Probably — my mother raised me not to say things like this about myself, so not I’m going to. I think people should look at the whole body of my testimony, because, as I used to say to juries, and when I talked about a witness, you can’t cherry-pick it. You can’t say, “I like these things he said, but on this, he’s a — he’s a dirty, rotten liar.”
I even heard Krauthammer say on Tucker Carlson last night that “Comey called Trump a liar”. Wait a minute…. The first reference is about something that is completely subjective and would require a survey of the FBI at the time it was said to establish its veracity one way or another. This now can never be proved one way or another because it was dependent on time. The second reference has no reference at all to ‘Trump telling a lie’ because the reference is just Comey’s opinion about something that Trump ‘might do’. The third reference which this time is to the word ‘liar’ has nothing to do with Trump at all.
So tell me…. where did Comey call Trump a liar? Is my word search not working?
Ping to #8, lest we forget
“His voice cracked a little when he called Trump a liar.”
Yeah. Wasn’t that special? Don’t be mean to him; he might cwy.
I just took a huge Comey.
Six foot eight? I didn’t know they stacked bullshit that high.
Comey is not a PJ-Boy......
He is an arrogant, shrewd political swamp creature that is now bent on revenge and bringing President Trump down.....
Yesterday was a carefully crafted and staged act......designed to do maximum damage but limiting damage to himself......
And those are his good points!
For all we know the democrats are working for the deep Soviet state. Proof is now they do not want to dig about Russian hackers but use the ambiguities of Trump’s word to clamor like a 50 cents corrupt cop the President is a liar and obstructor of justice.
We know a dirty cop does not embody justice but obstruct investigations themselves 24/7, attacking innocent people. But that somehow flies above the head of sheeples and is the MO of the fascists. When Comey says Trump attacked the FBI, he simply is creating an obstruction of justice in gearing the FBI against Trump.
Democrats like these tall boys. Disgraced CIA boss Deutsch was one such praised for his height.
Like a snowflake on a college campus. Maybe we should all send him some crayons to play with.
Since Comey and the special council apparently conspired together, I think the POTUS would be justified firing the special ed council and letting the DOJ appoint another one to investigate this whole mess.
