IG investigation into FBI concludes that Comey sucks, but not biasedly
Posts
If he had done that, then sure, it might have come out that it was done because the agents there had a massive bias against Clinton and were a national security risk due to that. In fact, thats the sort of thing you might have a press conference about in order to be as clear as possible as to why it was done. Yes, that might have been problematic for either campaign depending on the exact spin the media put on it, but in that case Comey could have made a real and clear defense after the election as to why he did what he did.
Well, yes, that's what we all suspected. He staged a soft-coup against Clinton because he was more concerned with how the Right within the FBI and without (same shit because his FBI leaks like a sieve) then anything else.
Pretty much the only thing I would say with certainty from this evening is that he hates DJT

Hates him now sure, but didn't do shit against him when it mattered. Had to have been fired to give a shit.

As we're seeing with congress, losing one's job or other very tangible personal harms are among the few ways to get even a potential re-spine-ectomy or whatever the hell it should be called look I'm not a medical guy here.
Bullshit! "One candidate may have inadvertently sent classified information over unsecured email" and "One candidate's campaign staff keep seeming to court Russians in an attempt to influence our election" STILL have significantly different levels of importance and NOT in the fucking direction you went!

He got a multimillion dollar advance on his damn book, so that's already happened.

That reads to me like bullshit to throw Lynch under the bus. I've never heard anything about her outside of "OH MY GOD SHE TALKED TO BILL ON THE TARMAC"

Well, I think regardless of how you feel about Comey and Trump, that shit was dodgy as fuck and the second dumbest thing Bill Clinton ever did.
But yes, it's possible that Comey is trying to position a theory that he was insubordinate because he felt LL was compromised in some way. The alternative is that she *was* compromised in some way. Maybe a rebuttal from someone "in the know" will come out in the next few days now that the accusation has been dangled, as I don't think anyone would simply let the accusation be left out there unchallenged.

Also a sexist.
Get the fuck outta here Jim
I can has cheezburger, yes?
Too late. His memo's that he shared with his buddy were already retroactively classified.
But when the head of an agency does that, they are generally protecting a subordinate from a fuck up.
Pretty sure "left wing" media covered the email scandal more than any other issue in the 2016 campaign combined. I blame Comey more than any other one person or single event for the results of the 2016 election but he certainly wasn't alone in prioritizing Clinton's emails. His both-sides-ism is remarkably similar to that of mainstream public media if you ask me.
EDIT: I think so they can make him testify behind close doors and create a false narrative.
They're both symptoms of the same problem - the need to "prove" to the right wing that they aren't "biased", because the right wing defines "bias" as "insufficiently deferential to them".
I'm feeling pretty glum about our chances as a country again, how about y'all.
What that someone who had a clear anti clinton bias and made one anti trump text is the real mastermind behind Trump committing several real felonies? Yeah sure this will shut it down.

Just...fuck. This is literally the definition of hypocrisy.
oh fuck you, Comey.

If you don't trust them, and that's an excellent reason why, there's Splinter News report.

There are other news sources on Google, so this story has legs from multiple angles.
Comey is a fucking embarrassment. That he's a star in the FBI is a massive problem for the institutes already flawed internal culture.
We've known about this for a while. Aside from the fact that it was reported in June. We've had multiple government officials explain that this is a common occurrence and why it's not a security issue. We had Colin Powell come out and say he did the same thing. We had people explaining that this was an unimportant bit of political fenangling in 2016.
So let's go back
In 2016 it was reported through multiple outlets that the FBI had been pushed into the investigation because of a group in the FBI New York Field Office that was basing their evidence on Breitbart writer Peter Schweizer's book "Clinton Cash". This group had released misleading information to Jason Chaffetz in congress who immediately leaked it to the press, as well as providing "leaks" of their own. This was both part of an anti-Clinton and pro-Trump belief at the FBI.

At the time it was acknowledged that Comey may have been 'forced' into his statements in order to try and wrestle the narrative from the far more partisan parts of the bureau.
So back to this "breaking news".
This isn't new information and it has been part of a long list of releases by conservative groups this year, particularly by groups like The Transparency Project which is also doing things like suing Hillary Clinton's lawyers over her emails, and filing FOIA requests into the Seth Rich murder (which is the focus of conspiracy theories about Clinton having him killed).
Or groups like in the Post article above: The Cause of Action Institute. A conservative funded "watchdog" group that normally spends it's time fighting government regulation, but strangely turned it's interest to Comey.
So, it's not new information, and while yes it's bad it's just as bad as it was either last year or two years ago when the information first came out. This has been part of a theme this year for conservative groups to 'suddenly' release FOIA information about Comey. I'm not saying "false flag", I'm not saying the information isn't real, and I'm not saying Comey is some kind of sacrosanct saint. However, what I am saying is that this is old information about Comey that has been regurgitated over the course of the year, regularly by conservative groups and on conservative media.
It's not bad information, it's just that it's being reported like it's new and I think it's being used as propaganda to try and make the, under investigation, firing of Comey more palatable.
They also *wanted* a scandal because reversals and last-minute revelations make good drama and good ratings.
Doesn't mean Trump didn't fire him to obstruct justice.
The one consolation I have is that there is at least a little part of Comey that seems to realize he is to blame for President Trump.
I really don't find it comforting that Comey was merely motivated by being anti-left rather than pro-Trump.
