13. Comey is SEVERELY damaged goods.

He's totally compromised now. Who wants to risk trusting him, at this point? If push ever comes to shove, this guy's gonna protect his own ass, and the rest of it be damned. He's in business strictly for himself. Looking out for #1. Typical republi-CON. I once thought he was a pretty straight shooter. But not now. Not after this lousy timing. Not after his superior officer recommended he not do this - which sounds like insubordination to me.

What would YOU do - with a rogue agent like this in your company's/organization's hierarchy? If you were the head of it? What would YOU do? Would you feel comfortable trusting this guy? I certainly wouldn't. And the CONS are just fooling themselves if they think he's on their team. He's on no team but the James Comey team. He'll stab them in the back, too, as soon as he thinks it's his neck or theirs.

He's just proven beyond any doubt that he can't be trusted. If I were in charge, I'd get rid of him as soon as possible. Put him on suspension first, maybe. But get rid of him one way or another. Demand his resignation. Or fire him - for cause.

I second what Mr. Painter wrote/said. nm AmericanActivist Oct 2016 #1
