Comey: 'You're stuck with me'
Hmmm... so, in this ceremony, Comey mentions that we are "stuck with" him for 6+ years and that “there is no such thing as absolute privacy in America”
Really Comey? No such thing as absolutely privacy? Because from where I'm standing it certainly looks like you are offering EXACTLY this to Clinton and her cohorts as it relates to the various email leaks and crimes. As well as the re-opened investigation based on the evidence held by the NYPD. The clear perjury, obstruction of justice, destruction of evidence and collusion that you so obviously discovered and immediately dismissed during the initial Clinton investigation. I call bullshit.
Release the Weiner/Abedin emails if there is no such thing as absolutely privacy. Instead of buckling, re-opening the case, and then slamming it shut in 5 days once you contained the threat via gag order/tying the hands of law enforcement.
The article ends with:
"Before diving into his 45 minutes of remarks, Comey made clear that he would not take questions from the media or about issues he didn’t want to talk about.
“I’m very slippery,” he added."
So slippery that YOU and those you are protecting can expect absolute privacy? How convenient.
There IS such a thing as absolutely privacy at the highest levels. This is why we are all 100% dependent on leaks to gain any semblance of an understanding as to what is happening at the highest levels of our own government, even if these activities are criminal and/or in direct violation of our constitutional rights.

YOU won't have privacy so that WE can do what we want. That is the subtext here.
But the issue of privacy will soon be subsumed by the issue of censorship. Because I don't care if they know I know. But they care that I do.
The issue of privacy is just a stepping stone to the issue of free speech. Twas always thus.
