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

His implication was left leaning... not corrupt. Unless he wants to also imply anyone corrupt is also a dem... that's a whole other set of problems

My take on this article has nothing to do with whether Comey is against Pres Trump or not. For me it is about how far outside the box Comey colored.

As a U.S. tax payer, I fully expect that the individuals that lead the federal agencies will discharge their duties in a fair and equitable manner no matter how painful it maybe to them.

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.

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?

I was just flipping through the channels, and Comey is on The View right now. From the couple minutes I could barely stand to watch, Behar and Whoopie where grilling him about his announcing of the reopening of the Clinton investigation. Implying that he cost Clinton the election. Comey was double talking like a good politician. He was denying stuff that the hosts kept reminding him was in his book, which caused him to double talk even more. It looked like they had him on the ropes, but I couldn't stand to watch anymore.

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.

Fidelity, Bravery, Integrity—The FBI Motto

Let's break it down and use Dictionary.com


fidelity [fi-del-i-tee, fahy-]

noun, plural fidelities.
1. strict observance of promises, duties, etc.:a servant's fidelity.
2.loyalty:fidelity to one's country.
3.conjugal faithfulness.
4.adherence to fact or detail.
5.accuracy; exactness:The speech was transcribed with great fidelity.
6.Audio, Video. the degree of accuracy with which sound or images are recorded or reproduced.


bravery [brey-vuh-ree, breyv-ree]

noun, plural braveries.
1.brave spirit or conduct; courage; valor.
2.showiness; splendor; magnificence.



integrity [in-teg-ri-tee]

noun
1.adherence to moral and ethical principles; soundness of moral character; honesty.
2.the state of being whole, entire, or undiminished:to preserve the integrity of the empire.
3.a sound, unimpaired, or perfect condition:the integrity of a ship's hull.



Comey was the Director for the FBI. Based off the definitions of their own motto he has displayed none of the above descriptions. If anything he has shown the polar opposite! What do the DNC have on him???


The Director can be removed from office by the President.[6] Since the Director serves "at the pleasure of the President", the removal from office can be either with or without cause.[citation needed] After removal until a replacement is confirmed by the Senate, the Deputy Director automatically acts in the role.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Director_of_the_Federal_Bureau_of_Investigation 


From what I've heard from Comey's own mouth and read transcripts of, he outlived any usefulness once Trump was sworn into office. Game over. The fool went "all in" with the carpetbaggers. So sorry, to bad, so sad. Sucks to be him. Then again, he put himself there. The President is looking like the one upholding Truth in this spat...

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/15/us/politics/trump-comey-tweets.html 


Comey KNEW the status of the dossier that was used to obtain FISA warrants. He KNEW whom paid for them and whom created them! Christopher Steele was fired from being a FBI informant because he admitted he worked for the FBI!!! This whole red-herring game the DNC wound up has spun out of the reality of control. They created it, paid for it and are trying to delegitimize a sitting President with it. Now, Comey wants to profit off of it? He'd better hope it makes enough to pay for those attorneys he's going to need.

Comey does come off like a little b!tch to me though.

He knew where the bodies were buried and knows the lies told because he was on the "inside" and most likely was part of the planning of all this. That is slimey. He has already told lies as well. Still don't like the Twitter act for Trump as it's not very Presidential like, but he isn't lying here. Not with this guy.

I didn't like his admitting to making a "political calculation" before making his announcements/letters to Congress about the Hillary email investigations before the elections. The DOJ policy had always been to avoid those announcements about any candidate before an election, and yet he chose to ignore the policy. Some say he swung the election in Trump's favor by doing so, he says that he was sure that Clinton was going to win...

That is troubling...we should demand neutrality from our law enforcement authorities...enforce the law and go after anyone who violates the law.

He's there as an arbiter of Truth. He violated that. He's not an honorable man...at all. His interview with Mr. Bimbo Eruption only showed how far to the left he is. He thinks he's doing something right when he's actually violating the law and showing how he did it and why!

And as far as your accusing him of committing crimes?

Research Donald's history/ rap sheet. If anyone is a greedy criminal type, it's the Don.

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.
