1. "Too Late Comey" is your new name

Thanks for all of your help, Mr. Comey.

You really stepped up for your country when she needed you.

By the way, thanks for the tweets. They really have an impact.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

3. Nailed it. He could run for office and join the Sanctimonious Caucus in the

Senate. They could all be useless together.

[Renew Deal]

5. He attacks Trump

You attack him.

[BlueSpot]

7. No

Before he attacked Trump, he did serious harm to Hillary.

Don't let your selective memory win.

[LenaBaby61]

10. "Before he attacked Trump, he did serious harm to Hillary."

THIS^^^

Don't hate him, and sure don't love him either.

The long-lasting damage that right-winged court will cause unless Neville tRump;s choices on the court are removed, and there's no mechanism for that unfortunately.

15. No, he didn't. That's why everyone was shocked by the results. The data showed she would win.

Even Trump was surprised.

Everyone was surprised because...he DIDN'T win. Russia hacked it.

The polling data showed she was going to win. Her numbers didn't move much after the October surprise. Comey didn't do any serious damage at all. I think the public didn't react much to it because people were tired of hearing about the emails, and people were already dug in with who they were going to vote for. The country was very polarized.

Jill Stein did more damage than Comey did.

11. He attacked Hillary. He attacked democracy. We will never forget

[pnwmom]

32. He's a Republican speaking to Republicans. The more like him, the better. nt

[NewsCenter28]

2. K and R-n/t!

[oberliner]

4. Thought experiment: Imagine not re-opening the Clinton email investigation right before the election

And announcing publicly that you were doing so.

Ask yourself: "Why did Comey do this?"

No responsible American should ever stop asking, “Why?”

[applegrove]

6. Touchez.

[Freethinker65]

8. +1000

[flibbitygiblets]

9. Or, at the very least, announce that trump is also under investigation

WHY was this lil' tidbit not mentioned???

[Honeycombe8]

14. Trump wasn't under investigation.

Whatever Comey knew...remember that Obama knew, as well.

The reasoning why fbi didn't talk about the Russian investigation is that there is policy not to publicly discuss ongoing investigations. For Clinton's...it was already public, and was not ongoing.

Yeah, he screwed up. Who knows why he did that.

But that's irrelevant to this post. And he didn't cost Hillary the election. Not by a long shot. That's a scapegoat excuse. If his October surprise had damaged the polls, people would not have been expecting her to win. EVERYONE expected her to win, because the data showed that. Including Trump. That's why everyone was shocked.

People were shocked...because he didn't win. Russia hacked it.

[orleans]

16. "who knows why he did that"

1. he was a republican

[Honeycombe8]

17. That's irrelevant, to him. His wife is a diehard Democrat. So what?

He's FBI. He really is one of those nerds who is a straight arrow & tries to do his job in a neutral way.

And though he may be Republican, he's not a Trumper. He, like most of the country, probably didn't like the idea of Trump becoming President. But that didn't enter into his job.

[orleans]

21. maybe.

btw--i think i said "was" republican

[Honeycombe8]

22. "Was" republican at the time....you were saying he intentionally worked for his party...

to help Trump.

Which is false.

[orleans]

23. actually, that is not what i said

[Honeycombe8]

24. Okay, see you're trying to backtrack.

Whatever. Comey did no work to get Trump elected or work against Clinton. That's a ridiculous argument.

[orleans]

30. i wasn't backtracking

go back and read my words again with an open mind and without trying to defend comey so much

he was an asshole to do what he did

why are you defending him?

[ck4829]

26. Why indeed

[bigbrother05]

27. Thought experiment: Imagine announcing that the FBI found no evidence of wrongdoing

in the Clinton email investigation and that the case was closed without additional editorial comment.

Always ask: why did he add the reckless statements?

Being impressed with your own piety is the sin of vanity, a common conservative failing.

[flibbitygiblets]

31. +1

12. Hard to bite the hand that feeds you.

'Like a dog!', as Cheeto would put it.

[Honeycombe8]

13. Good point. I'm going to use that in the future. nt

[applegrove]

18. I saw it somewhere else on the DU. The idea. Didn't post it or it was

already posted.

[Honeycombe8]

19. We've all heard said, and we say, "he never criticizes Putin!" But I mean...

the way this tweet puts it is better, I think. Forms a picture in my mind of a loooooong list of people Trump has berated & criticized. Putin is not on that list.

[applegrove]

20. Yes. I can't quite remember how the list part was put when i read it earlier

this week. Maybe it was CNN. The point is a great one.

[NCTraveler]

25. Ask yourself: "Why is Putin missing from the list?"

No one knows better than you, Comey. Fucking asshole.

[2naSalit]

28. So... what if Comey's

a mole?

I keep coming back to this question... haven't seen/heard a good response yet.
