I believe the FBI agent in question was a retired FBI agent at the time he was receiving payment and making requests.

OT: while reading Charlie Pierce and realizing I have to postpone sexytime since my son is home from school because he doesn't feel well (welcome to every day of my adolescent life) and getting distracted by Chris Evans, my gaze also fell upon this gem: http://www.esquire.com/news...

Haha! Despite it being public knowledge that this is how we caught Bin Laden, apparently this is still considered 'in depth' information.

Tinfoil Blowback: When the conspiracy theorists are actually in charge

Expand full comment

There was an article in the conspiracy side of the net suggesting that the New York G-men were going to come out with the anti-Hillary stuff anyway and make Comey look biased. To save himself, he came out with it first, so that his investigation into Trump would remain untainted by hint of bias.

Oh yes. The main problem with Trump? It doesn't matter how stupid he is, the GOP base is supporting him. Keeping him on under the theory he'll screw up is cutting Democrat's throats.

Replacing Trump with Pence will cut the knees of Republican support.

No, I doubt that. Better to hope that some of the GOP scum turns on the others to keep from being dragged under with them.

I'm happy that Comey is supposedly doing his job, but I'm not going to get my hopes up that anything will come of it. When Donnie falls, it won't be from a punch we saw coming; it will be over before we know what happened and we'll be saying "Where did that come from?"

The part that I enjoy about this is the sheer existential pain Comey must be suffering right now.

He KNOWS more than anyone else in the country, that everything he believes is utter bullshit. There is not a trace of evidence anywhere that Hillary is guilty or that Trump isnt a traitor, and he knows it. It's all on his desk.

yep, feeling the heat cause no matter what he knows he was wrong in doing what he did, when he did it. his only hope would be to come out of this with enough of a hide to maybe get a job being a security cop at a closed down mall.
