Comey was obligated to answer questions of the President honestly, instead he mislead or lied by omission. I wouldn't expect you to know the difference.

Donald has never entered the political realm except for running and winning this Land's highest office.

Comey can be attributed to several crimes not even counting the carpetbagging server issue or the dossier! Nice try.

There's only one incident where Comey might have lied. And it concerned Hillary and the Weiner emails. Comey told Congress he would look first before writing his letter, that he and the FBI would have completed their review within six days. He jumped the gun.
Hillary Clinton, as all the data prove over the last 11 days in crucial battleground states, would be president today.

So Comey stands accused of writing the letter not because he had to in order to fulfill a promise to Congress but because he wanted to protect his political rear end from anti-Clinton Republican partisans. Not unlikely.

Im curious dr, as honesty seems to be some sort of moral imperative to you, ever researched how many times Trump has either exaggerated or flat out lied?
Probably not and never gonna happen. Because, the way I see it, you're less concerned with honesty and the truth than you are in claiming the moral high ground. He lies FYI. A lot.

You saying "connect the dots" isn't actually providing any evidence.

It's been a popular claim recently, and only recently, that the FBI is somehow in the bag for the democrats. No one has actually provided evidence.

If you have no evidence then that's fine. It just makes it clear what kind of person you are

And how do you believe the FBI has politicised their position of power? What have they done which implies they are not discharging their duties in a fair and equitable manner? What proof do you have (actual proof) to support these claims?

With all due respect Burner, sounds to me like you're describing Donald and not Comey.
1. Donald doesn't do any of his thinking inside the box. He said it himself, he likes chaos!

2. Trump's detractors, and not the media, but the masses of people that didn't vote for him think his agenda favors the wealthiest people in the country and not the middle class eg tax cut. Most of these same people don't think being 'equitable' is even in his vocabulary.
(Omit joke "along with many other words ")

3. Polarization is at the core of Donalds success. You do see that, right?

Since our country's inception, federal employees have of course held personal political opinions. I agree that federal agents should never act on their partisan motives. But I dont see comey as someone with a political agenda. Just a personal one.

Is Comey a grandstander, sure, an entrepreneur yep, a Republican that helped Donald win the election, that too. His strong, granted, profitible objection to Donald is NOT based at all on Donald's politics, it's based on his character.

I'm not condoning the timing of the book or much of what he's been saying (small hands etc) but I think the message he's sending is apolitical and frighteningly valid. He's a whistle blower the way I see it. In the final analysis I see a flawed patriot.

One last thing: nowadays everyone seems to have an agenda. Even fact check sites. Do I know Comey so well that I can vouch for him entirely? Course not.

Huck, on your three points:

1. I would encourage individuals to think outside the box. When they start coloring outside the box in most cases is not good.

2. As far as Trump goes, the left should of had a better message and a better candidate. No one to blame but themselves.

3. The polarization I see for the most part is the left will not accept the fact that Trump won and Clinton did not. The left has taken on the role of the Federalist from the early 1800's and the Federalist creed of "rule it or ruin it." It really gets old.

Of course I can't agree.
I'm beyond amazed at how anyone who's witnessed Trump's time in office hasn't concluded that this guy is dangerous, and taking us in a clearly bad direction.

Trump was part of a perfect storm for the right.

You're right, the left had no viable candidate. Or message. But it wasn't losing the election that's killing the left, it's losing it to this loose cannon fruitcake

Here's to hoping we get it together midterms.

You like Trump?

There is no room in our society for the politicization of these positions of power. If allowed we are headed down a road of no return.
If a person feels that politicization of the positions of power is acceptable then that person is part of the problem.

burner wrote:


(here you state your issue is not with the "partisan" but the "politicizatin". so... by that measure, you don't want him to politicize his position for either the right or the left. That's fine. But accusing the FBI of being political, requires evidence as well.... so as you can imagine, I asked for it)

And how do you believe the FBI has politicised their position of power? What have they done which implies they are not discharging their duties in a fair and equitable manner? What proof do you have (actual proof) to support these claims?

to which I will re-direct you to:
1- your initial statement that the FBI is partisan
2 - your walkback of that statement to it being "politicized" and "There is no room in our society for the politicization of these positions of power." which implies you believe these positions of power are politicized.

I'm not putting words in your mouth. I'm asking you to explain the statements you are making.

Dearest Vickie,

In my above response to Huck, I'm saying yes that the opinion piece is partisan but to the FBI.

In my best guess Huck was saying it was right leaning

One may say that my response was somewhat sarcastic but the fact remains that the article was partisan toward the FBI. Which, I have no problem with.

And again, I will point out that no where in this thread did I trash the FBI.

But in your rush to argue (never seen that before) you missed the point of my trashing of Comey and anyone in our government like him that puts themselves above the institution they represent.
