re: And this was our FBI director: "Don't leave me alone with him." Pathetic!

This thread is full of new faux intellectual liberals spewing bigoted comments. Where is this new wave of uneducated useful idiots coming from?

It's a bullshite investigation like going on a fishing expedition in the Dead Sea.

Here is what we have.
1) Butt hurt sore loser in Hillary Clinton
2) emails that were stolen and wound up in Wiki Leaks hands
3)WikiLeaks publishes some slightly embarrassing emails about real collusion albeit not criminal between Clinton and people at CNN
4) Wiki Leaks is based overseas and tus far Julian Assange has vehemently denied that he got the info from the Russians
5) THus far even the intelligence community has said there is no, zero, nada , zilch evidence of coordination between the Trump campaign and any foreign entities or anyone domestically associated with the Russians...Clapper is on record as saying this, Brennan is on record as saying this.
6) Michael Flynn is being excoriated and put under undue suspicion because he in his capacity as NSA - designate attempted to start back channel meetings with the Russians. Thus far all intel people who have testified say no deals were made and no promises were made other than to setup a frame work for future discussions
7) This is not illegal

8) Flynn did not register as an agent of Turkey....OK a mistake, but he was a registered lobbyist for a Turkish firm that may have benefited the Turkish government....wait I thought this was about Russian interference

9) According to the reports, Trump asked Comey to go easy on Flynn , butwas adamant about that the FBI stop investigating his campaign and him on Russia because it NEVER happened!!!

Any sane person who knows he did nothing wrong in terms of what he is being investigated for would do the same thing .

Don't hand me the old " well, it's the seriousness of the accusation and therefore needs to be investigated" That's not how things work. Using that logic, the Democrats or even Republicans can just constantly throw up outrageous allegations and hamstring any President in the future with wasteful investigations and employment for quasi retired former public officials.

This guy was the top LE official in our nation, and he was afraid of being alone with Trump? I know the NYT thinks this is a slam on Trump, but my Lord it makes Comey look like he was out of his mind

Maybe Trump was right when he said something was wrong with Comey

Comey didn't answer to Trump and as the FBI director, his job was not to play party politics, but it was obvious Trump had some type of agenda and didn't want to be put in a situation in which it turned into a "he said, she said" deal.

Comey told Trump he would be honest, but Trump wanted loyalty. Do you want a FBI director who is loyal to the president opposed to being honest about what turns up in their investigation? By all accounts, Comey was actually a good fit for the position.. Didn't Trump praise Comey at one time?

It seems to me that Trump wants someone who will be loyal to him. Someone he can depend on to do what is in HIS best interest opposed to what's in the best interest of the country.
