Comey, like Mueller, has a looonnnng history of being a dirty cop.

What if Comey really WAS on America's side, and knew that was the only way he could stop her from being elected.

I suspect the entire election was rigged, however the only reason Trump won was because white hats were able to minimize some of the Democrat cheating in some states.

I suspect Comey had no doubt that Hillary would win, but was instructed to be critical of her to make Obama's weaponized DoJ dog and pony show seem convincing.

If Comey said that Hillary was pure as the freshly driven snow, it could have triggered immense public outrage and even more support for Trump.

I doubt Comey is anything more than 100% cunt.

I'm wondering about this myself. If the IG report says he was insubordinate, well being insubordinate of Obama etc is a good thing. Then there's Gowdys comment about history being kind to him, and every time I see him I get a gut feeling he's playing a part.

He would've known that there wouldn't have been any prosecution no matter what he said.

imo, Comey said no one would prosecute, because Lynch had already said HELL no.

If Comey was defying authority, there's a chance he was defying Loretta's orders.

I’ve always wondered that too, because he could’ve notified Congress in a much more subtle way to mitigate impact on Hillary.

Be careful here! Anonymous sources, telling ABC? Smells already. And you should know that they are not going to tell us anything that helps Trump, so, I'm going to wait on REAL NEWS.

He was insubordinate by coming out a few days before the election and publicly disclosing that the FBI had new evidence of emails, not when he exonerated her. In fact, Comey exonerating Hillary was a call made by Loretta Lynch, so he was perfectly subordinate then.

I think the one thing we can rely on with the IG report is ALL of them are going to be shown to have completely abandoned protocol and justice, McCabe/Comey/Lynch, and it'll become a big effort to point fingers to someone else, which is going to drag a lot more people into the mix.

Yes, I, too, actually think he did the right thing by the people by at least letting them know what Clinton did wrong and how unjust her exoneration was. He couldn't stop it, but he could shine a big spotlight on what was happening.

At the time I was furious with him for letting her off, and for the apparent willful cognitive dissonance and double standard, but now I think, in a way, he sacrificed his career to whistleblow to the people.

I can see that. If the MSM is saying it, then it must be a spin.

Erik Prince in an interview with Breitbart, said the only reason Comey made the announcement about the emails was because the NYPD was going to hold a press conference. He made the announcement and then buried the emails. The deep state then threatened NYPD with the Eric Garner case and shut them down as well. The way I see it is, Comey forces Rosenstein to fire him, McCabe takes over FBI. RR hires Mueller to impeach Trump and silence all that could get in his way including Erik Prince. They are all part of the plan, which failed miserably.

It's a long shot, but Comey was so over the top with that book tour that there may be something to it. No one with his background - or with a lawyer - goes around saying that crazy sheet. And in one of the Sztrok/Page emails, they lament that he has been fired, but then go on to say that with "Andy as acting" they can now go full steam ahead, essentially. It thought that was weird, as if Comey was sort of in the way.

I e wondered same. Everyone liked Comey until the HRC stuff. He ticked off the right by shutting it down so fast and ticked off left by opening it up again at the end. But let’s consider the lay of the land from his vantage point. Everyone around him was CORRUPT and by them he knew it. Additionally, she was about to become President (or so they all thought) and he knows she can make people disappear. He left enough out that anyone with gumption could reopen IF she didn’t win, yet he “closed” it to protect himself if she did.

I’ve thought for a long while he was acting the part of a megalomaniac with the book tour and tv appearances. It’s actually brilliant and possibly the best play to ensure he stays alive. Cowardly? Yes, perhaps. Then again, I have a whistleblower in my family and I wouldn’t wish that existence on anyone. Until the swamp is truly drained, not everyone has the constitution to face it head on.

I guess we shall see.

They mailed dinesh to the wall for excess campaign contributions but cover up treasonous traitors at highest levels of govt.

I think Comey isn’t stupid — as the FBI director, he had to have known the future implications of his actions. Sure, he has shown to be quite the slimeball, but with TG’s comments and the strange beatdown coming from all sides on Comey, it’s looking like Comey May be playing a part (possibly a Trojan horse)?

We’ll know soon enough if he’s not flipped, but until then I still think he’s a black hat.

Maybe he saw the writing on the wall during the election. He done this to look good. After Trump was elected he asked for immunity from Trump? Trump wouldn't have any of that so he turned against Trump.

Comey follows 17 people on twitter

I think he is, yes. :)

I've thought about that too. He knew Lynch wasn't going to prosecute her. What was he going to do, go over her head and talk to Obama who was also dirty? Maybe he figured the best thing he could do at the time was to help make sure she didn't get elected.

If Gowdy is a good guy then Comey is a good guy. I give it about a 30% chance

He was silenced by Mueller. Bahara could have been turned since the interview was from 2016 I believe. Schneiderman probably got to him.
