Was I the only one reading pee hookers? Weird history in Studio 54 with famous gay Roy Cohn and his evil apprentices, like famous Roger Stone and his having an orgy coincidentally timed after the release of the Macron emails? General Flynn and the blond British-Russian at Cambridge who made the intelligence services "uneasy" and their "Moscow Mischa" cutesyness? The hacked texts of Manafort's family that claimed [REDACTED] had been bullied into participating in orgies?

Believe Comey, who is pathologically driven to tell the truth EVEN IF IT DAMAGES THE COUNTRY, or believe Trump.

Hmm.

Gonzales' amnesia--"I don't recall remembering"--about why he fired Republican prosecutors for failing to pursue charges against Democrats should forever bar him from employment in any serious position.

That is a question that Comey will live with for the rest of his life.

Sometimes I think its like "Does even the WORST attorney think you're violating ethics??"

there's a very good chance that comey had no choice, either in order to pre-empt the rogue elements in the new york FBI office, or because his office was 'phished' into it (or both)...here's a possible (tho lengthy and sometimes sketchy) explanation...but it more likely fits what we know about comey from his orevious actions as described above by dok, and what we know from the last few weeks...this is a very good blogsite, btw, and has been on top of and mostly accurate about the whole sordid affair way before any other news source>>>>

I read in an Israeli article that Israel was getting screwed because they relied on Trump's appearance and associations with conservatism to support Israel. But Arab countries had apparently observed that Trump is vulnerable to flattery, so they went on a 'charm offensive' and have gained his ear. In other words, buyer's remorse.

Yeah. He could do whatever he wanted cause he and the Vice Chancellor were best buddies.

Thanks, but I can do without seeing that. Did you know he made his staff in the A.G.'s office join in a prayer circle every morning? He was our Governor for 8 years too. Longest 8 years of my life.

Sounds familiar.

Comey referred a greater story to tell in January. We may need to wait until investigations are done before we know the whole truth. But the case against Weiner has gone oddly quiet considering they were weighing child porn charges just a few months ago.

Here's another take on the mysterious teen, Weiner, and the timing of the Comey letter: http://www.alternet.org/new...

Technically, Chaffetz was the one who dumped it all over the news.

Comey has done some very stupid and unethical things in the last 12 months, but it does not look like he lies. Whereas Trump lies all the time. Even during his campaign. So I would go with Comey, even though he is a dick.

Bullshit. Just more cover your ass by Comey apologists. Talking about doors and leaks is no justification for what he did. And sitting by silently for nine days while the rumor and spin mill went into overdrive while maintaining total silence just seals my opinion. The letter was based on total speculation. He did not even have a warrant. He ignored decades long policy about not doing exactly what he did without consulting anyone. And as far as leaks, he could have send a notice out that any leaks on this would result in dismissal, and if leaks occurred, he could have tried to publicly tamp down the speculation by saying what was obvious, they had nothing showing those emails contained anything new. Essentially, he preempted the leaks by leaking it himself, then clamming up.
