When Repubs have the Executive branch, they purge from top to bottom.

Dems don't (or at least haven't for decades).

In fact, Dems go out of their way to put "bipartisans" (i.e., Republicans) like Comey in.

Result? Over the decades all the agencies have become Republican/right-wingnut bastions.

And DC has become a Republican town. (And in the DC social order, the outnumbered Dems are kept in check. Do something that could cause people to frown at them at the cocktail parties? Unthinkable for most.)

He should resign effective immediately. He'd do that if he had any ethical fibers in his body.

Let's see what he does.

Rep. Elijah Cummings Questions FBI Director James Comey 7/7/16



Published on Jul 22, 2016
In this final video, FBI Director James Comey testifies that the emails were not properly marked as confidential. Rep. Cummings confirms that the State Department indicated a day after Director Comey made his statement, had indicated that even the three emails in question that were improperly marked were also not actually classified.


Rep. Elijah Cummings Highlights How Comey Debunked Right-Wing Media "Talking Heads' Claims Of Bias" In Clinton Email Hearing

"First, the director testified that his entire team of 15 to 20 FBI investigators and analysts unanimously agreed on the recommendation not to prosecute Secretary Clinton. Second, Director Comey made crystal clear that Republican claims, some of the talking heads' claims of bias are completely false. He testified that he would treat John Doe the same way he would treat Hillary Clinton, that he was very forceful on that point. Third, on the claim that Secretary Clinton sent or received e-mails that were marked as classified, that claim has now been significantly undercut. Those documents were not classified, and those markings were not proper. Finally, Republicans have repeatedly cried foul about a double standard when it comes to secretary Clinton's e-mails. But director Comey testified that the real double standard would have been to prosecute her with this completely inadequate -- with this completely inadequate evidence."
