It’s not likely he’ll survive the blowback.
Comey has marked himself as a charlatan.
He seems to be trying to influence our Presidential election.
Will this sites editor continue to defend Coney’s act? Hell, Comey didn’t even read the emails in question before doing this. He needs to be fired now.
He needs to be prosecuted for this abuse of power.
Comey must have figured that the incoming president would be asking for his resignation in any case, and he’s got his pick of republican-welfare jobs, so there’s really very little downside for him, except reputation. And that was pretty much on the skids already.
I’ve lost a lot of respect I had for Josh Marshall over this.
Comey’s letter seems extremely careless to say the least. If he felt he had a moral obligation to inform congress that there was a new development ( emails on wiener’s computer) then he could have sent a classified letter to them. Comey did not have a moral obligation to inform the public of new developments. He messed up an election. That is a huge deal. Whether he had intent to mess it up or not, he influenced the election.
Is every available agent working overtime this weekend to wrap this up as soon as possible in order not to influence an election needlessly?
That’s the question I’d ask him since he thinks that keeping a promise about something that may be absolutely nothing is so urgent that an election may be unfairly influenced because of it.
“Although we did not find clear evidence that Directory Comey or his colleagues intended to violate laws governing the handling of investigation leaks, there is evidence that he was extremely careless in his handling of very sensitive, highly partisan information.”
Any similarity to Comey’s July press conference is entirely intentional.
This slob will be fired.
This guy was paid to do this! Guaranteed!
The repukes knew they lost the WH, and certainly the senate. But when they say they were losing the house, suddenly this happens!
It’s NOT her email, or her server, so WTF!?!?!
Perhaps we need an investigation into any and all communications that Comey’s office has had with Republican leadership.
His self-righteousness is breathtaking and wholly partisan, as he was in his initial presser about not going after Clinton in the first place. He hides his partisanship under the veil of professionalism.
Yup.
Where are his emails?
That was lost long ago for me. He just regurgitates what he hears on Joe blow show, and features fox noise…it’s like come on!
Further proof Comey has been co-opted by the endless House Republican political onslaught.
FRESH MEAT ! ---- FRESH MEAT ---- FRESH MEAT !
munch munch … yum –
Government branch by government branch, department by department, I feel like the Republican Party has politicized and corrupted every institution in our democracy. They’ve turned the Congress, the Supreme Court and now the FBI into tools for partisan warfare. The military and the rest of law enforcement may not be far behind. I admire President Obama a lot, but I’m angry that his good-faith gesture towards bipartisanship in nominating a Republican like Comey to head the FBI has now been rewarded with another stab in the back. The Democrats had better wake up to the ruthlessness and recklessness that their Republican adversaries represent, and never make these kinds of mistakes in the future. If Republicans can’t be team players, then they should be shunned absolutely from now on.
Trump has seemed awfully sure that something to his benefit was looming…
