I have a changed opinion of Comey
It's a theory that with little supporting evidence but hear me out
The swamp in the FBI was operating using networks telephone/email/tor-glyph etc
All were there to be under the radar and evade any record being kept
But the communications were recorded
Records were kept
Either by (possibly) the NSA or maybe even the FBI itself
The glyphs (pic relevant)
And the famous "love bird" (Page, strzok) texts are 2 examples
None of what has been released indicates Comey knew what was going on
In fact, it seems there were considerable efforts to keep it from him
The coordination between page and Strzok when Comey is forced out and the seeming joy they portray at the possibility that McCabe will take over is another indicator that Comey was in the way to some degree
I'm not saying Comey is completely innocent however
I think when he did figure it out or was forced to figure it out it was already too late
He almost certainly tried to cover it all up
But realized, wisely, what he was up against
But here is the part that is so difficult for us anons to get
They never thought she would lose
Now, with that in mind put yourself in Comey's shoes
You just figured out that the candidate that is "100%" going to win has been supposedly using a private server to pass classified information
Then you go to your people and ask them to dig into it and they turn up nothing
So you think well must be something else entirely - misuse and negligence at most
But then you get a call from the NYPD
They talk about insurance file on Weiner laptop
Now you think well how did my people miss this
You put them back on task but this time you're suspicious
You monitor them
Record internet usage, emails, comms
You hear the lies
You see the forged documents that makes up the fake intel that got the warrants
First thing that hits you - FUCK
FISA
You realize 2 things right off the bat
1) this thing is huge
2) I'm fucked, there is no escaping this
The next president of the US has a personal swamp that has operated under my nose and I should've done something about
Whether I knew what they were up to or not is irrelevant
They have set up the opposition to take the fall for everything
The money laundering, the pizza, the Russian deals, the leaks to the press, the classified leaks, the forgeries
Everything
Now take minute and tell yourself
It doesn't matter whether you knew or not
You were in charge and it happened on your watch
For Comey it didn't matter who won the election either
He likely was on the outside of the swamp at the FBI and understood that even HRC won the NYPD wasn't going to let him off the hook
So he staged a very watered down investigation
Just enough to bring attention to the HRC server to show the NYPD "look I tried"
However, he did not bring any charges
He couldn't
Not without anyone backing him up at the FBI
And this is where I think Comey made his bed at this crossroad
Either he white washed all of it covered it up and hunkered down and waited for the election results
Or
He investigated, recorded and archived everything he could before the election
He knew he was going to be fired either way
If HRC won she would have destroyed him right after she destroyed everything at the NYPD
If Trump won he would be removed from office immediately because now he's not just being investigated himself
He is part of the investigation in that he is also an investigator
He is the main witness and the evidence
Notice this in no way implies innocence
He has to be isolated or at least shielded from the ensuing shit storm
He is still equally disliked by both the right and left - perhaps it's intentional
His testimony is what is of prime importance
Let's hope he has his own insurance file
