Good to know that the head of the FBI kicks the can down the road by blaming Obama…what a stand up guy. :unamused:

Blame it on Obama. Always the safe play.

Sure - and recall that McConnell effectively threatened Obama that such a move would result in a huge political backlash. Obama’s call was correct, as much as I hate the results. Someone acted on principles and the dignity of the office – and it surely wasn’t McConnell or Comey.

Comey: My party won because Obama had ethics and I didn’t. I don’t regret a thing.

Added to the OED as an example for the word: risible.

And there would have been no political repercussions for that, huh, Jim?

You know damned well that would have resulted in EVERYone screaming foul. Including you.

Are you kidding me, Comey?

You’re going to play Blame the Black Guy?

I take back every goddamn good word I have said about you.

Mr. Obama could have declared martial law and postponed the election to a chorus of screaming that would make the Comey screaming sound like a kitten yawn and have left us…where exactly?
As it is, our main domestic suspect is, at least, oath-sworn and by it subject to historic penalties via trials that could prove necessary beyond this case and nationally, politically cleansing…

I’m still sore Obama let the Atlanta Falcons collapse against the Patriots in the Super Bowl.

Had Obama done that, the right-wing media machine would have kicked into high gear and the usual willing accomplices to support the right-wing noise such as the NY Times, would have very loudly supported McConnel and Ryan. The political press is still a huge problem in this country in that they love to tear down political leaders as long as they’re Democrats. The fact that Trump made it as far as he did during the primary, during the election and still hasn’t been brought to justice through public outcry alone is a failure of the media to properly inform the public.

Franken wasn’t taking his pathetic excuses, but it was Feinstein who sounded furious.

To be fair to the others, none of them were buying his hero complex I couldn’t conceal…for the sake of the Republic! schtick.
