James Comey says he's backing Biden for president

Politico

Former FBI Director James Comey announced that he’d voted in his first ever Democratic primary on Tuesday, backing Joe Biden in the race to challenge President Donald Trump in November.

Comey, who led the FBI during the Obama administration before being fired by Trump just months into his presidency, said on Twitter he pulled the lever for the party “dedicated to restoring values” in the White House and indicated he cast his ballot for the former vice president he once worked under.

"I bet this is the first time Comey ever voted for a Democrat in his life". If Biden becomes the nominee, I bet we see a lot of that.

He can never be forgiven for what he did to Hillary Clinton in 2016 which may well have cost her the election and given us Trump.

more important than any other factor. They were more important than every other factor put together.

Comey dominated that race from start to finish. And I see no basis for doubting that he absolutely cost her that race.

Why the hell would he think anyone in the Democratic Party would want his endorsement.

Shut up and STAY AWAY, Mr. Comey.

His actions were illegitimate. Hillary didn't catch a bad break--she was sabotaged. Comey made it nearly impossible for her to win, and he did it over and over again.

Why does this man continue to shine attention on himself when anyone else would want to disappear from view when it comes to anything politically related?
