James Comey, dead man walking

[Ziggurat]

Yes, reasons I've already explained.

Reasons which amount to nothing more than arbitrary declarations.

You lie. You said youself that I didn't use the words and that you had to interpret the meaning. Now you're pretending that it meant that all along. Stop lying.

There's a reason I didn't use quotation marks, because I never meant it as a direct quotation. You paraphrase too, and have done so in this very thread. Everybody does, and there's nothing wrong with it. And you ALWAYS have to interpret meaning when reading. If you don't, you're doing it wrong.

Although, on second thought, that would explain a lot....

Yes, irony was the whole point of my comment: you are engaged in the exact behaviour you decry from others. Beam in your eye and all that.

That's funny, coming from you.

Seems like you have no counter-argument at all.

Face it: your interpretation was wrong. Move on.

That's funny, coming from you.

You do realise that since I've just told you that you accuse others of doing what you're doing, flipping around again simply proves my point, right?

 

[Ziggurat]

Seems like you have no counter-argument at all.

And it also seemed to you like I was "selectively accepting numbers" (oh, look, I used quotation marks! Guess what that means?). What things seem like to you has little connection to what things are.

Still not seeing an argument from you.

...and the FBI increasingly acts as an extension of the GOP carrying out investigations into political opponents of the GOP at the behest of the party.

Well, you can't spell Gestapo without GOP

Do you really think the FBI is going to let itself be used in that way, by one party?

Well it's more a case of the way in which the sympathies of a large number of senior FBI officers align, politically conservative (as evidenced by the eMail revelation and Twitter leaks) and looking out for the interests of the FBI.

With a Republican President, House and Senate, funding for the FBI is secure and so any requests to investigate people on the other side of the political divide will likely be well received and pursued vigorously - as long as the requests are not illegal. It's also likely that much will be made of people being investigated, anything that hints towards guilt or malfeasance will find its way leaked into the press while the final report exonerating the person will come in a much more low key announcement.

All of the above IMO

I am wondering why the Americans still bother to organise elections. Would it not be much easier and clearer to let the director of the FBI decide who will be the next President of the USA?

It's hardly surprising if some groups are better disposed to one party than another. Law enforcement, military, border control and the like prefer the GOP, those involved in welfare, human rights and science would prefer the Democratic Party.

Or maybe Comey just 'pardoned' Hillary?

Say there was a smoking gun in the emails just discovered. Intentionally bad search makes the evidence inadmissible. Comey's "ooops" lets Hillary walk. Trump will replace him.

Why would we say that with ZERO evidence ?

That being said, IDK comeys fate at this point.

Looks like he will be able to keep his job.

I don't know - that's a republicker thing. They do seem to like it though!!! Possibly like a secret handshake.
