1. I want to hear Comey answer for all of this crap.

And I want him to VERY PUBLICLY apologize to Hillary Clinton and the American people.

14. It was the ELECTORAL COLLEGE, not the majority of U. S. voters who put Trump in office in 2016...

especially after Bush vs Gore was previously egregious enough Are we ever going to correct the fact that the only office in the land for which the majority of voters can be ignored is the PRESIDENCY, no less?.This has happened TWICE within two decades. I can see why the Republicans aren't upset, since things "fell out" their way. Othrwise, they were prepared to fight if Gore got less popular than electoral votes and still won in 2000. Our presidential elections would have benefitted. why doesn't this BOTHER the Democratic PTB?

4. I think McConnell blocked Comey from going public

Reid wanted it to be a bipartisan disclosure

11. Reid

should have.

He could have saved us from decline.

12. I kinda hope we get over the desire for

bipartisanship in all things. The hard far right will never give up power for truth. Or even acknowledge truth. If something is true, we shouldn’t need the Republicans to join in. I get the optics politically of bipartisanship, but I think we’re moving beyond it. Or, rather, that the Republicans are moving beyond it in their extremism.

16. Only Democrats care about such things

Repukes can't even understand the word "bipartisan" - it isn't in their dictionary.

5. YEP here's another investigation that needs to

START soon!!

6. And by the Senate, not the House

[bluestarone]

7. Oh YES

For sure!!

8. Comey should have been charged and convicted for what he did.

That was such a blatant misuse of his office and it changed the course of U.S. history and not in a good way.

10. Bunch of old white men

Protecting their status and privilege.

Not saying Reid - and Obama actually! - had an easy call.

I remember all this!

13. The House Oversight Committee, with Jordan and afew others, put the squeeze on Comey....

...and made him promise to return to the Committee if he found any information whatsoever. They had him be the short hairs and he squealed.

15. K&R for visibility. 🤬
