Will it? Real hard for me to give a shit about what happens to James "Ferguson Effect" Comey (arc). Like, even if that shitbag gets off again, there are tens of thousands of human being who are still going to be in ICE concentration camps the next day, but most of their names probably won't get headline treatment anywhere.
Comey was bounced into releasing the memo. He was wrong to do so, but there's no evidence that his intent was to influence the election.
There's overwhelming evidence, though, that Trump has ordered the DOJ to get Comey.
Wtf are you talking about? That article I linked has him making the same remarks at multiple public events while reading from notes, and that was just one of many incidents with this bullshit. His clear intent throughout his career was to make it harder for people to hold bastard cops accountable for their violence and misconduct.
As for some election, again I have no idea what you're talking about, and it sounds like that may be one of those memories I've repressed to keep myself from having an aneurysm so I also really don't care, but whatever happened there I doubt it was as bad as the crap the FBI pulled on the Black Panthers, so probably you just needed a better candidate who never would have let it get close enough for FBI to interfere
Granted, this is a leopardsatemyface trial, but it’s still important because it’s a high-profile indication of trump’s DOJ weaponization against his enemies.
Which was highly, highly predictable and makes me wonder why people like Comey didn't go after him harder. Shit- even Biden had the foresight to pardon Hunter. Doesn't seem so crazy now...
Makes you wonder how deep the kompromat goes
Yeah, I don’t feel bad for comey getting bit, he should have known what Trump was about long before he decided to try to swing the election in 2016. I don’t know how anyone could have trusted Trump even back then before this last decade.
We can't talk about the 2016 election without talking about how it never should have been that close to begin with and how the Dems ended up with such a terrible candidate, tho
Regardless of that, the stupid shit he said about BLM and the years of work he put into preventing law enforcement from being held accountable makes me wish the media would just stop talking about him and focus on people like Fauci's aide who got arrested recently or all the people in immigration detention
It is. But alsointeresting in that Comey considers himself, as he believes law should be, outside of politics. Not that he doesn't see what a shitstorm he created, or that he doesn’t have opinions, just that in his worldview, the law is the law, facts are facts, and that’s how it’s supposed to work.
By itself that’s not the worst thing in the world. But since that’s just not the casein the grand scheme of things, he was tricked into kneecapping Clinton’s campaign, ate a bucket of shit under trump, was illegally fired for trying to find out who in russia was paying for his presidency, and is now having to show up in court to answer charges that he was mean to a demented rapist sociopath.
It’s kind of funny. If he had just inhaled he might not have been in this position.
He wasn't tricked into kneecapping her campaign. Her campaign was being kneecapped by ratfuckery and he was trying to soften it.
Republicans handed something to the FBI that would force them to reopen the case, knowing that it wouldn't show anything new, just so that they could then wail about the FBI keeping it quiet to help Clinton.
My understanding was that Rudy's peeps at SDNY were sending (fake) messages about how they'd found shit on Weiner's computer and this would force them to re-open and Comey's DC peeps always in some sort of dick-measuring thing with SDNY wanted to jump on it first.
Also, even that would have been less than having a press conference to announce the reopening. That was the big kaboom. And anyone in DC knew it. He knew it. Then- as obviously sweet fuck-all came out of it - he later realized it was bullshit.
