James Comey's name hopefully will always have the adjective treason permanently affixed to it.

In the excerpts he claims that he thought Hillary would still win despite his late release of the additional email investigation. To me that means he was covering his bases and would be able to play up the release to the Republican overlords. And he was WRONG! The email story cost Hillary more than enough votes to inflict a blight on the Republic.

In the interest of fair play (sic), he failed to release the the Trump campaign sold out to the Russians. Notice that Comey conveniently fails to mention that minor point Why did he fail to mention the Russian interference? Because he is a selfish Republican lackey!!!!

After the election he learned that Twit-for-brains was even slimier, greedier and dumber than he imagined and his honor kept him from full integration into the grift machine. That shred of dignity that he exhibited ended up costing him his job and he now feels free to openly retaliate against a traitor of a different stripe. Whoop-de-doo!

Here is my take:

Imagine a chap is driving down the road in a huge, expensive SUV, armored against most small arms, who decides to reply to a text he receives. He gets distracted while typing and veers into the opposing lane killing a family of five ina Ford Fiesta, escaping with only scratches himself.

Afterwards he feels remorseful and cries on TV.

Does this guy deserve any solace or absolution? The answer is a resounding NO!

Life has consequences. You are judged on results as well as intention. If the results are heinous, it matters little what your intentions were.

No absolution for Comey. No forgiveness. He merits nothing but disgust. Traitor to America should be carved on his headstone.

I’m getting it bc I can’t get enough of anti-Trump insults. Comey can still go fuck himself re Hillary’s emails though.

Given that Comey is five inches taller, I’d imagine the aerial view.

So in his defense-and I believe he changed the election and probably the course of history-he had a terrible choice to make, as did Obama. And it's easy for us to say now that they were both incredibly, ineffably wrong. They couldn't predict the repercussions of either choice. What a decision to have to make. What do you all think?

"( ... or would that just be too obvious? Oh well, fuck it.)"I am kinda into the too obvious stuff. Like, no way would Donnie turn down a Golden Shower - has he ever turned down a Golden *Anything*? I think not. Dude has a golden commode FFS.For example.

If I'm not mistaken, Comey violated the Hatch Act https://en.wikipedia.org/wi... but what do I know? I cannot find it in my heart to forgive him. Maybe someday, not today.

I have an anatomical question. Can Intelligence Briefings be administered rectally?

I think we're letting Jason "I HATES HILLARY TO PIECES" Chaffetz (R-UT) off the hook to easily.

Look, all Comey really did was send a memo to a few important people in Congress: "Hey, just a heads up, we found a couple more e-mails. They probably don't amount to anything, but I thought you just needed to know." And because he was chairman of an important House committee, Chaffetz was one of the people who got the memo. HE was the one who "came" to the press, saying "HOLD EVERYTHING! The FBI is re-opening the investigation!!!"

I love that Trump apparently knows his word is worthless to Melania if he wants the FBI to prove the pee tape is false. That's a great marriage you got there! ha ha ha ha ha

I had forgotten that why are we not talking about him?

I know, right? "I'm a germaphobe" and "I just start kissing them" can't be reconciled. It's like whatever the germ thing might be, it isn't enough to deter the sex thing.
