Comey should have resigned after the election. He was stupid. I guess he thought he could appease Trump and do damage control (oops, I guess he shouldn't have been nauseous that Trump won). What a weasel.

Remember, one day before the election Comey cleared Hillary, saying that they went through the 650 000 emails on Weiner's laptop (a feat that could be accomplished by that Alien postal worker in Men In Black) in a matter of days and found nothing of value! Did Comey hoped that Killary would win and all would be swept under the rug?

I do remember that, and it was right before the election, wasn't it? So yes, in retrospect he wanted her to win. I actually spoke to an agent in mid October and asked about Comey, asked about the Lynch plane incident and asked what he thought. He said Comey was "stand-up" but seemed to agree that the tarmac incident stunk. A week later Comey reopened the case so in retrospect, I think the idea that it was pressure from lower ranks that forced Comey to reopen, and that Comey was protecting Hillary all along. He couldn't keep his job if all his agents quit, and they must have been seeing what we saw. I do think she lost because Comey reopened the case but I think Comey had to take that chance and make an effort to appease the ranks or face his own disaster.

You remember how crazy they were to flip the electoral college. I don't remember any election ever where that was even consideration. I had hoped Comey was on our side because he had been a kidnap victim himself, but I guess in the end he liked the perks, or he is afraid of Clinton Body Count. Either way, I'm glad he's gone and McCabe is already exposed. Swamp-draining in progress.
