"Comey may have done more to influence the election than the Russians." MoonRiver Sep 2017 #51

He was focused on himself, wanted to avoid delisen Sep 2017 #55

I'm willing to believe ThirdEye Sep 2017 #56

So exactly why do you think he pulled that stunt? MoonRiver Sep 2017 #50

To address a predictable future issue with a Madame President ThirdEye Sep 2017 #62

That's ludicrous. He was simply doing his job as a prosecutor. MoonRiver Sep 2017 #63

Wah? ThirdEye Sep 2017 #64

I disagree. MoonRiver Sep 2017 #65

IMO - it isn't either Cosmocat Sep 2017 #52

This was the THIRD time he was involved with investigating the Clintons. MrsCoffee Sep 2017 #69

IMO Comey did not want for Donald to become President. He is disgusted by Donald. Madam45for2923 Sep 2017 #5

Then why the Oct. 28 letter? louis c Sep 2017 #6

Because there was a change in status which he had already announced was closed. Madam45for2923 Sep 2017 #9

I think he will admit that he made a mistake louis c Sep 2017 #13

He fucked up fer sure. My point is that he was not acting in cahoots with Donald. Madam45for2923 Sep 2017 #14
