I think the thing that’s so troubling is the idea we could have elected someone who hates America so much.
Comey writes: “All who believe in this country’s values must vote for Democrats this fall. … History has its eyes on us.”
Well here’s a news flash for Director Comey. They should’ve voted for Democrats in 2016 but he did his best to keep them from doing so. This Comey rehabilitation tour is really gut wrenching. Had he done what his office required of him we’d not have a President Trump. No Gorsuch. No Kavanaugh. No families would be separated, net neutrality would be in place, the wealthy would’t be soaking in tax money, Harley Davidson would be making bikes and they’d still be making nails in Missouri. And Russia would be in deep shit. But this Saint had a duty to do. And he did it and now we are where we are.
Republicans are going to end up not liking this guy.
Funny. He didn’t call Trump “careless and irresponsible”. All Trump did was betray 100 years of Presidential policy. But Hillary…she had a private email server.
Comey is merely stating what has become obvious: the Republican Party, along with its propaganda apparatus on TV and the internet, has become a malignant entity in the United States body politic. It must be defeated and if not disbanded, burnt to the ground so that the stereotyped bad faith politicians that now represent it (McCarthy, Nunes, Gowdy, Goodlatte, McConnell, Cornyn, Rand Paul) are turned out of power.
The GOP has been on this path since the Reagan Era. They and their propaganda media arms need to be defeated.
Jim, you already had your History Is Watching moment. And every action you took was a plus for Trump and a minus for Clinton. You failed. It’s unlikely Clio will include your feeble attempts at redemption.
No need to worry about the darr household, Mr Comey. GOPer won’t be voted for by us.
Bringing up that server that way trump did was completely divorced from the question asked. Which in that moment showed that trump is completely owned by Putin. I have my suspicions as to the Kompromat and it isn’t pretty. That was a Corleone move by Putin.
and HER server was never hacked by the Russians, nor did she delete any emails of any consequence, nor did she withhold any from the FBI, nor did she refuse to cooperate in the the multiple politically-charged investigations of her, subjecting herself to 11 straight hours of Republican Kabuki Theatre on national TV to uncover…nothing.
When the corrupt and Kompromat NYC FBI office illegally told the same Republican Congressional Committee members who were leading a pogrom against Hillary a LIE that the Anthony Weiner Laptop contained NEW DAMMING EMAILS the MSM and a cowardly FBI Director Comey all ran with it to please them (even though Comey KNEW it was a lie, but he was too busy covering his own ass to care.). But none of it was true. Upon examination by actual FBI agents, they found…nothing.
BUT the damage had been done. The Russians had successfully avoided their worst nightmare: President Hillary Clinton, and the MSM had raked in tons of cash during the campaign by focusing exclusively on the Dancing Drooling Idiot Donald Trump who then became President even though he LOST the election by over 3 million votes.
And now, here we are, with an insane, Kompromat President recklessly destroying our institutions and international partnerships that have served us for over 70 years and licking Putin’s bloody boots on international TV for all to see.
BUT…her e-mails!!!
Mr. Comey? Do us all a favor: SHUT THE FUCK UP! You’ve had a hand in influencing electoral results enough, thank you very much.
I think I’m the only person here who can’t bring himself to hate Jim Comey. (And yes I know the story of the election very well.)
Well, it’s easy to hate him but it’s also easy to pick a side in this fight. I don’t disagree with what he’s said here and maybe it will help some.
I doubt she’d be amused.
Bush 43 deleted/lost/purged 22 million emails (22 million is not a typo). The press never mentions it. Comey is desperately trying to find a port in the storm he created. Fine, tell people to vote for Dems, but you did an enormous amount to put Trump in office, so there’s that.
I don’t hate him. More a mix of anger and pity. That nausea of his will never go away.
(I believe he’s come to hate what he did almost as much as we all did in the moment.)
Hopefully he convinces other traditionally Republican-leaning voters.
Truly, there are no words… This was your doing, you horrible jackass!
All these republicans are going on an apology tour because they feel guilty for having propelled a fascist into power that will have implications for decades if not for ever (supreme court comes to mind). People like George Will, David Frum, Comey, Scarborough, and so on…knew about the dangers of electing the orange and yet did everything they could to do so (I guess Will and Frum were never trumpers from the get go). I wonder how much influence, if any, their urging will have on the voters.
STFU Comey. You’re not our friend and you’re not “helping”
Dems were already going to vote Dem. And James Comey isn’t going to persuade any R’s to vote Dem. I doubt he’ll even persuade any Independents.
