I seem to remember that at least some of that was down to Rudy and a few of his old buddies at one of the NY federal AG offices who were planning to release the last minute bs Clinton emails hit job, and to some extent this was Comey trying to get out ahead of it.
Even if that’s true, fuck Comey. He did their job for…

I almost threw my coffee this morning at CNN when Jeff Daniels was on, hero-worshipping Comey. How has it not crossed anyone’s mind that he was the first who came up with the idea to make a buck by going from loyal to disloyal with Trump? Or that even he admits his reason for going after the emails was because he had…

this is what I keep going back to again and again. If you’re going to disclose one, you need to disclose the other, or vice versa. I know the whole purpose of this is to deify Comey but the way they ignored this important question (even as his wife and daughters are freaking out about how he’s sabotaging Clinton) was…

If you think about it, James Comey is basically Jar Jar Binks. His guilelessness conspired with his pretense of having no politics to make him the perfect political tool.

He might actually be personally responsible for this mess.

He also stupidly sabotaged Trump’s opposition just before the election, let’s not throw him a parade or anything. He might actually be personally responsible for this mess.

As a person who works in politics, this is one of my least favourite things to hear. I can barely pay my bills, don’t have much of a social life, and eat way too many canned foods because I do what I can to try and improve the lives of others in a structural way. It’s true that lots of people in politics are out for…

“Both side are the same” stopped working as a meme back around the time when the first government run torture camps were set up.

Nah, he’s pretty much Rudolph Hess who fled to Britain in 1941 and told the Brits lurid stories about Hitler’s sex life. Political defection or flight to save his own skin, he was still a top Nazi leader for 8 years before fleeing.

Actually, if you think about it a little bit harder, James Comey is basically every man. He believes in Truth, Justice, and the American way, worked very hard his whole life in the belief of those ideals and the trust in them, only to be fired by an incompetent greedy rich amoral sociopathic byproduct of generations…

James Comey abused his office and lied to get Trump, his party’s candidate, elected, and didn’t decide that Trump was bad until Trump fired him. I think “Is he a good guy or a bad guy?” has a pretty easy answer.

Every politician—and anyone who is granted power—needs to be monitored constantly. Whether you believe that power corrupts (Acton) or power reveals (Caro), the fact remains that people in power often use that power to malign ends. I don’t think it’s particularly helpful or accurate to say that “all politicians are…

On paper I’d say Comey’s story is much more interesting than Mueller’s (who mostly just did his job and then return to his life), especially his need to cash in/rehab his image rather than just accepting his involvement in a catastrophe and moving on, but it’s not anything I need or want to see. I know there’s an…

Not sure about that. A lot of people on the left (on your left’s left, which I call the left, because damn is the USA’s left on my right) have a hard time settling for the lesser of two evils, and consider that anyone but their own pure-hearted candidate is equally diabolical.

This just happened we all remember it. I don't fucking care to watch anyone's creative interpretation of it. Why must we insist on rehashing this already? Can't wait for the Pandemic/Election 2020 movie to come out in 2021. 

Again, fuck Comey. He’s a pompous, self-righteous ass who willfully chose to reopen the Hillary investigation two fucking weeks before the election, while also failing to disclose the ongoing federal investigation into the Trump campaign.

Comey is such a boring fucking guy to put on a standard of this fucked up period. Even Mueller works better because “tired old guy” is much more entertaining to watch than “boring dude”.

You mean the Snyder version ? The one who starts with an absolute disdain for collateral damage and ends against an enemy whose main weapons are explosive bowls of pee ?

And like Zack Snyder’s superman, he’s painfully boring and helped put in motion the deaths of tens of thousands
