The attacks on the FBI are an attack on our system of government but it is important to remember that Comey is the one who politicized the FBI to begin with when he deliberately meddled in the election.

They can't just pluck somebody off the streets into that position, can they? I'd have thought it'd have to be someone within the FBI ranks, no?

You say, “I totally missed Comeys 86” year old dad.... It should be in the possessive form, “Comey’s” — what you’ve written is the plural version.

Have a good night.

Seems a lot of punctuation marks have been affected. In another thread I wrote about trump and his “best words”. The quotation marks didn’t make it into the finished subject line.

I make it a point not to use apostrophes. If used in the title, it will not show up.

First is with a forward slash proceeding the apostrophe. Second is with a backward slash proceeding.

straighttalkers. I know, his email outing. He tried to steer a line, both times. Surely
misjudged RW media spin, and should have said nothing both times. Except ... if he
had been silent the first time, RW media would have manufactured guilt from it. The
second time they would have made guilt from anything he said, even if he said nothing
at all.

Those comments, (both times) were NOT part of his job. But since the findings cleared Hillary Comey went off just to derail Hillary and favor trump.

…if this is helpful to the "don't trust the FBI" narrative Trump is ginning up.

Can make it look like Comey is very influenced by his father etc etc.
