Him.

Shut

Up.

Go

Away.

He, Putin and Trump are birds of a feather.

Who will he non-sequitur quote next, Yoda?

and the world with trump so now he's trying to ingratiate himself back into society.

Dems won't have him, and repugs — I don't care what the fu_k they think.

eom.

...not part of the Trump/Russia scandal, invested in exposing the scandal his office began investigating, clearing his reputation from Trump's charges and lies.

It's karma, imo, to see him caught up in the web he helped weave, but it's not in anyone's interest to dwell on his choices in that election, not anyone who is interested in holding Trump accountable for his firing and interference.

After all, harping on his transgressions against Hillary is Trump's incriminating excuse to Lester.

He knew that the "Clinton email" story he pushed in late Oct. 2016 was from
Russia and it was a lie but he put it out in order to hurt Hillary but he wouldn't
say word one about the facts that Russia was meddling in our elections.

That pretty picture of the waterfalls he posted can not hide his ugly act.

...I think he assumed a Hillary win.

Anyway, it's not exactly in the interest of prosecuting Trump to put all of that before the details of Comey's investigation he began under Obama. It's important, but not as actionable right now as is Comey's subsequent fight to preserve the integrity of his probe and his testimony about Trump's interference.

Eye on the ball.

You make an ASS out of U and ME.

Words to live by, my young friend.

A lot of people ASSUMED that Hillary Clinton would win the election. They should not have banked their futures, nor the futures of all others in this country, on that assumption.

n/t

...I believe he's needling Trump.

Fat load of help that will do now. The mother fucker helped to flip the
election. End of story.

...I can't go back and change the outcome of the election.

Comey may well be the key to bringing the bastard down. He's evidently still determined to see the investigation, he began, end with justice for Trump. That's what I took from his post, looking beyond what's impossible at this point, to what is actionable now.

Not end of story, at all.

that you don't drop a bombshell ELEVEN days before an election, when the candidate has no time to recover.

Meanwhile, no mention of trump bein investigated. He knew exactly what he was doing, which was to push trump over the winning line.

If he didn't intend for trump to win, why do it, why the timing?

I can't believe how many defenders this guy has on DU.

That immoral self-righteous hypocritical scumbag will never ge a pass from me.

...you just can't accept I have a different view of his motive, so you try and smear me away from my opinion.

...this (on DU) I can believe.

It makes no sense that he held all of the animosity to Trump he testified to and was trying to elect him anyway.

Thanks for playing though..

Piece by piece, Comey has become a puzzle to me. At the very least, those tweets of his seem to be well timed and meticulously worded, which seems telling, if not downright peculiar.

I just hope we get to hear the whole story eventually. In the meantime though, when I'm watching a puzzling situation unfold in life, I like to keep as many questions open as possible. I think the role Comey played in this situation still has too many possibilities open for me to say just exactly what he did. So, for now, I'm a Comey watcher. I'm waiting to see what clue he'll give us next, because I think he knows all the dirty details, and wants us to know he knows.

"Thanks for playing"? Really? Come on.

to win. Electing Trump got Neil Gorsuch on the court. They could take care of Trump later.

Lots of Republicans hated Trump and still genuinely wanted him to win.

Come on, he knew it would get leaked. He's was head of the FBI so he also knew it was a violation of the Hatch Act.

He may have fooled some people...

Which he will never admit to since it would make him appear weak.

"No le Busques Tres pies al Gato sabiendo que Tiene Cuatro.", meaning Don’t look at the cat and try to find three feet when you know that it has four.

The whole thing it's quite clear.

the election would hurt Hillary and help trump. Anyone with average intelligence would see that. And he is way above average.

Yes, He thought Hillary could win, so he did his part to derail her, which he did

plus he gave in to pressure from right wing types which he will never admit to since it reveals his weakness.

because it shows him to be a coward.

robert mueller would never have done what he did.

you're the one whose eye needs to stay on the ball

...but distance his office from her incoming administration, a stupid attempt to mollify his critics on the right.

He's not very politically astute, imo.

The 'ball' is the prosecution effort, in which Comey's firing, and his testimony and notes about Trump's interference should play a central part in any obstruction prosecution.

There is zero benefit in parsing or grousing over Comey's letter. We can't go back.

HE NEEDS TO COME CLEAN

..but every time we focus on Comey/Hillary we distract from Comey vs. Trump.

It's clear that's what Trump would like us to do; harp on Comey's credibility and spread doubt about his testimony against the WH., divide and conquer. That's why it makes no sense to dwell on something which is virtually intractable at this point.

That's why Trump clumsily brought it up to Lester as a reason for Comey's firing. The more we bear down on that point, the more Trump is able to use it as an excuse for the firing (with whatever cover he's able to leverage from his Dem opposition), even though we all know he was more concerned with protecting his own skin.

In effect, dwelling on Comey/Clinton is a trap he tried to set. It's not in the interest of prosecuting him to put that concern at the forefront; more important to use Comey as a wedge against the WH.

Witness that he is & all...

GOOD WITNESS after all.

Hillary wins, irrelevant of trump/Russia collusion

It’s that simple

He will testify, which will be viciously and dishonestly denigrated by trump supporters

THEN he can fuck right off

Forever

So many ways for republican traitors to turn this into an enabling act scenario

They have the the entire leg/jud/electoral/media system by the throat

Not to mention the fact that most people don’t know or care what is going on

Too busy going bazinga

They’ll get what they deserve

And drag us down in their ignorant indifference

Good times!!!!

candidacy, and take down Democratic Senate candidates along with her.

Having managed to piss off and alienate BOTH sides in a particularly vitriol filled election cycle.

Probably the only thing that both the left and right agree on is that Comey should have his ass kicked, lol.

really puts their thumb on the scale.

Russia may have pulled it off without him, but I have not doubt that by tipping the scales against Hillary, Comey got Trump elected.

Even Donald Trump could win, in spite of his disastrous campaign, because he successfully tricked the American people into believing HRC broke the law.

Comey may have tried to take down Trump after the election but his first priority was to defeat Hillary. He succeeded.

Knock her down

Run her over

Back up over her

Just to make sure

He couldn't get the job done the first time, so he had to run her over again.

It sounds like someone who is finishing the 15th turn on the rope he's tying for himself.
