In reply to the discussion: My own 2 cents on James Comey [View all]True Blue American
(17,984 posts)12. Morally unfit to be President
A stain on those around him.
I think Comey made mistakes before the Election, but the real facts of the Russian envestigation were not clear at the time.
There is much blame to go around. The Media, who gave Trump all the space, magnifying every little thing and rumor about Hillary.
Investigative Reporters who neglected to expose Trumps criminal contacts and past actions.
We can blame Comey but in comparison to Comey and his record to Trump,whose past and present are full of criminal actions and collaboration with mobsters and Russians, there is no comparison.

Her numbers dropped, but not that much. She was still leading in almost all polls.

That sounds all it took. It was a combination of dozens of people putting their thumb on the scale

That's pretty much what I think, too. Except I am convinced she did win, but for Russia.

It's wasted words. People much prefer to bash Comey the same as RUMP is doing.

He says he considered it when deciding. And elsewhere says he doesnt make decisions based on those

He certainly acknowledges that he is flawed. In the end he did what he thought was right for

You really can't say that "he had no reason to step out to speak as he did"

He is an ally against Trump now. Attacking him now is idiotic regardless of 2016

The Responsibility fell on the Republican leaders who were briefed before the election.
