Comey is a petty idiot

[Skeptic Ginger]

Yeah, he doesn't exactly come across as top CEO material.

He really doesn’t - I expected much more gravitas from someone who’d held a top law enforcement job.

Comey getting it wrong.

Comey told interviewer George Stephanopoulos that the FBI was unaware of the salacious and unverified dossier until after the bureau formally opened its counterintelligence investigation of President Donald Trump’s campaign.

The investigation was opened on July 31, 2016. Comey is contradicted by extensive reporting that dossier author Christopher Steele provided the FBI with information from his dossier on July 5, 2016.

Once again you are copying text from a source without making it clear those are their words and not yours. From the second and third paragraphs of the news story you link to:

Lol Trump supporters complaining about petty idiots. Irony, obtuseness, hypocracy, or all 3?

That is, after all, the form of government the GOP has been advocating for the past few decades.

Trump is its distilled essence.

(Or did you mean "hypocrisy"?)

 

[quadraginta]

Trump lies so often I've seen him contradict himself in the same news conference.

And even then it is generally with yet another lie.

How is Trump different from a broken clock?

He can't even manage to be right twice a day.

 

[Roger Ramjets]

Comey's media blitz and I assume his book are nothing but him rationalizing that he wasn't to blame.

He blames Lynch, circumstances he had to address, and of course, it's the voters' fault, not his.

Just like Hillary!

He's right though, the voters are to blame - and anyone who denies it has no right to accuse him of deflecting.

It is pretty amusing, pettiness might be Trump's most distinctive personality trait. Above all else, I am most astonished that a guy get live 70 years on earth, run an arguably successful business in the public eye and still have the pettiness of a toddler.

I like that.

Hypocracy = Rule By Hype?

But Hypo in Latin means beneath, or below, or less than normal.

Which could also lead to a funny interpretation.

Bull, she never denied her own failures like Comey still is, denying his last minute reopening of the case actually mattered. He keeps repeating that even when it is pointed out to him by reporters trying too hard to be polite. But it's off topic and you've no doubt already ignored the facts.

He's right though, the voters are to blame - and anyone who denies it has no right to accuse him of deflecting.

He's not right. Trump lost the popular vote, people were at least somewhat misled by underhanded campaigning, hacked emails, voter suppression, and I have every right to accuse Comey of his part in sabotaging the election.


In addition, Comey's claimed that Trump should be voted out in 2020, not impeached. WTF, he's the ex-head of the FBI and he knows full well they are investigating criminal activity within the Trump campaign, including impeachable offenses. How stupid to then speak of voting Trump out and not mentioning impeachment if crimes are uncovered.

Comey is telling himself in a dozen ways he didn't have an impact on the election when he took the unprecedented action of discussing one candidate's case in public and not the other's.

 

[ahhell]

To be be fare to Comey, if I were in anyway responsible for electing Trump, I'd deny it too. To myself and everyone else, loudly and frequently until I believe it.

The Comey memos do more to corroborate the Pee Pee dossier than undermine it. There may be something to it after all.

Steele was a career British intelligence agent who served in some top positions. His dossier is raw intelligence. It's information gathering. Each piece of information is not vetted, as I understand it, only the source. The source has to have credibility, had to have been in a position to have had access to the information they claim to have, or it doesn't make it into the dossier.

The Golden Shower could well be true. I doubted it at first, but The Dunce is such a total lowlife, everything's in play. Now I have a hunch -- that's all it is -- I have a hunch it happened.

I don't have an opinion either way about Trump's golden showers. And I really don't care if he's a freak. Steele reports it as a rumor circulating and not as something that is reliable. From my view it only matters as possible Russian blackmail. Whether this is what the Russians are using to blackmail Trump or if it is something else, that makes it dangerous.

And that is the one thing I ABSOLUTELY believe to be true.

Especially since Trump had to say something about Russian prostitutes in the conversation. Kind of like one of those 'I'm guilty' lies.

Yeah, we probably shouldn't be pee fetish shamers.

Disgruntled ex-employee...?

"I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose voters," Trump said at a campaign rally in Sioux City Iowa. Link

Fixed that for him.

"I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody have a prostitute give me a golden shower and I wouldn't lose voters," Trump said at a campaign rally in Sioux City Iowa. Link

Why would it cost him any support? He expresses their views!

 

[theprestige]

I like how the progressive narrative around Comey was that he was a scrupulous professional whose unbiased investigation of Hillary's email server was proof enough that she had done no wrong... right up until the moment he became an incompetent partisan troll who cost Hillary the election.
