14. I don't understand either, it feels like we're living in an alternate universe.
I hate to say it, but where are congressional Dems? They should be in front of cameras 24/7 telling everyone. Can you imagine if a dem tried to pull this shit.
Oh but they have dummie. Fast and furious? Benghazi? Bueller?

26. COMEY'S actions did effect those races
I think it was a study somewhere, published maybe in Mother Jones
Comey was their hero in July, their goat in October, and now they want him hung.
Now this dummies pisses on their parade:

3. Rather late. But I guess
better late than never. Although, it will be dropped like a dirty sock in 10 days.

7. Let's see how he likes the hot seat!
Probably. They may be doing it just to clear him, as they are also investigatino some Clinton related stuff.
Now, he is less likely to resign, unfortunately. There were a lot of factors in losing the election, but he was the final hard blow (as well as many by him in between ). How can he stand himself? I hope he goes to prison, and I usually want to pardon everyone and reset. He is as smug as DT, and maybe more mendacious, plotting.
DT can't hold a thought long enough to plot, which is why he needed Bannon
This dummie appears to understand the reasoning behind the investigation then goes into full dumbass mode. Must be a mole.

13. I've wondered the same thing, but I suspect his rewards
are delayed and well hidden, like being taken in to well paid investments, maybe some of DT's deals with putin.
Something is there.

27. Obvious by his behavior yesterday
As he smugly sat there and hypocritically testif
Comeygate!!!!
WhiteTara (19,180 posts)
25. I fear that Comey will put the big kabosh
on any investigation into TinyHands. Be great if it were true that it would have to continue. I'll hold out hope for that!
Man ain't even in office yet and they want him investigated.

4. Is it possible that the Comey investigation (sure does have a nice ring to it) is already
underway and that they are just announcing it now????
Nope. Not a chance.
Alice11111 (94 posts)
17. Yes, nice ring...Comey Investigation! Pound it, RM, CNN, Joy
Comeymas!!!

9. My concern is that Comey is needed to counter Trump
Most of the heads of intelligence like Clapper are political appointees who will be replaced by Trump with people he will expect will tell him what he wants to hear. He will instruct them to shut down any investigations where he is targeted.
Regardless of what we think of him, Comey thinks of himself as an honorable man, who will stand up to Trump as needed and he is appointed for a 10 year term. If Comey is forced to resign, Trump will put in his own guy to be FBI Director.
Another dummie pissing on the Comeygate parade.

15. Don't think he is honorable. Who could be worse?
The only advantage of Comey is he might have to tow the line now and be less reckless, since he's been caught. He tries to project himself as honorable. No honorable person would do what he did after an election started, with such bs to back him up. That is 3rd world. Plus, he withheld REALLY IMPORTANT stuff on DT, that clearly disqualified him 4 office.
Who could be worse? Ummm Clinton?
CajunBlazer (5,190 posts)
31. Who could be worse?
Someone personally picked by Trump to make sure that the new appointee would not dare confront him with evidence of the Russians hacking or with the possibility that the Russians have blackmail information on him.
We have to look beyond simple payback - Trump is going to be in office 4 years, unless he is impeached first. If there is ever reason for impeachments we don't want a "yes man" running the FBI.
OK is Comey back in the good now?

22. Unreal ,,,,a FBI guy of ours...the GOP must have paid him some money to keep quiet....
Dem and scandal are nothing new.

30. Comey is pond scum and lacks any professional or other ethics
Well he is a dem.
That is it for now. I figured it would be a huge bonfire given the topic. Boy was I surprised.
