that he even told them things they were looking at BEFORE they started looking - cause transparency ...
But now, his lips are sealed and he's keeping everything as close to his vest as possible - cause confidentiality.
So, is Comey a political hack who went after Clinton but is protecting Trump? Or was he naive and got burned by Congress so he's no being much more careful?

(28,811 posts)i thought he had integrity once upon a time, now i just don't fucking know. but his actions re: hillary and email may be the one thing that changed history, and not for the better.
whatever is driving his actions now, i don't trust him.

(218 posts)I sincerely hope he has a truckful of noxious evidence on Trump and he's blocking it from EVERYONE and just waiting to unleash it on the American public...
But in reality......I'm hoping that sketchy server turns out to be an embezzling link between Trump and Russia, because I'm scared they don't have anything else.

(10,078 posts)Comey proved his bias to me when he released that letter prior to the election, even knowing that there was very little likelihood of anything new. All he had to do to head off the NY rogue FBI agents was to release information that they were trying to skew the election had they gone ahead with their threats (working with Guiliani). He is guilty of violating the Hatch Act and should be prosecuted. The FBI has been sitting on the Trump-Russia information for months. Why? Comey seems more interested in playing games and stringing this out than in being honest with the American people.

(391 posts)Comey will never reveal anything legally actionable against Trump, no matter how clearly supported by the evidence. On the other hand, even lunatic rumors are enough to have him throw the entire weight of the FBI onto the trail of HRC, WJC, BHO, or any other Democrat brave enough to run for POTUS.
I'm telling you, this is all just a lot of PR to give cover to Trump and other Republicans for their acts of treason. After all, Comey was complicit in the whole Russia affair, whether by commission or omission.
This whole thing stinks to high Heaven, but don't count on any Republican to lift a finger.

I'm actually serious.
