He may be a nice guy with integrity but he used his position to try and effect people’s actions during the election and he continues to do so.

That is why he did what he did to Hillary’s campaign,

The tone-deaf stuff Comey implies is absurd. "Don't impeach Donald Trump" because it will clear the American people? WTF does that even mean?

Just another flippin' ego.

may hamper Mueller.

I hope to High heaven someone posts a clip of Melbers remarks.

I expect many here to not agree with Melber.

They are Russian farmer trolls and other sorts of trollers.

unwillingness to take responsibility for the role in helping to put Trump in the WH. It pisses me off that Comey puts the blame on the voters when Clinton won the popular vote so the majority of votes did not vote for Trump. Comey's attitude that, instead of holding Trump accountable for his illegal activities we are expected to allow Trump to serve out his term and then vote him off really ticked me off.

I had pre-ordered Comey's book but I have cancelled the order. I have no interest in giving any of my money to him. Comey needs to shut up and go away.

Order was cancelled.

As much as I love Rachel, I don't plan on watching anymore Comey interviews.

Going to yoga on Thursday night and will not set the DVR. I've heard enough from Comey to last the rest of my life.

past mistakes. Comey is STILL making huge mistakes (weighing in on impeachment during ongoing investigation).

has a way to go to be able to admit that he had fallen for anti-HRC propaganda and was not acting as impartial as he thinks.... Someone where in there I feel he knows it...he just hasn't faced up to it yet.


Editing to say that I think he is on the path...his comments that he hopes HRC reads at least some of his book and concludes that he made errors, but was being honest, seem to me to be saying that he realizes, to some extent, he did serious and unrighteous harm.

Instead of doing a book tour, he should crawl into a deep dark hole and never come out.

He sure did an excellent job in explaining what Comey's HUGE mistakes were, and I agree with him 1,000%

I can't quit laughing (And believe me, there's NOTHING funny about any of this at all) about Comey saying that he wanted to protect and preserve the integrity of the FBI,the rule of law et al, and that's why he did interjected HIMSELF in the 2016 General Election

Well for the past almost 2 years, the USA, the FBI and all of our intelligence agencies have been TRASHED, flushed down the toilet and called Deep State by the likes of Lumpy Hannity, inebriated-sounding Jeanine Pirro and Lou "crazy man" Dobbs on Faux Noose on a WEEKLY/DAILY/HOURLY basis and by MANY in the GOP. Fatso's even going in on Mueller now, and we know what Fatso thinks of Comey. The FBI is being trashed. Wonder what Comey thinks about the beating our country's taking now? putin's sitting back, laughing @ and helping to destroy our country. I pray that we as a country/world, intelligence institutions all survive the tReasonous HOG that's installed into the White House. Now to be fair, what Comey did was not the sole reason Hillary lost to Fatso-In-Chief IMHO. There were MANY, MANY reasons why the election was stolen from her. However, Comey's timing and his complete political tone deafness and his "little" statement about Hillary's emails was the icing on top of the shit cake that was and is tRumputin being installed into the White House.

OMFG, Comey said that he'd do it all over again exactly the same way

Let me let him go now. Lord have mercy.
