re: Comey was ‘disgusted’ when President Trump 'forced' a hug on him in White House

This thread is in part related to the Comey question I was asking you yesterday.
Comey seems to have had a weird perception of himself and others. He felt he could carry on revealing conversations with journalists, but shun similar contact with the President. He had little apparent interest in shutting down classified leaks, and may have even been a source himself.
He aggressively pushed for conclusion to the HRC investigation, but refused even so much as publicly validating that Trump was not personally under FBI investigation. He willingly usurped the AG's role in July sullying the FBI in the process, yet claimed to stand for a "wall" between the Executive Branch and FBI.
While, he emphasized strict independence of the Bureau, he himself had multiple direct and personal conversations with FBI officials when he was at the WH and his friend Mueller was FBI Director.
I hope Mueller can set his long-standing relationship with Comey aside, and clarify for Americans what the FBI Director's role should actually be. Specifically I hope he points out the multitude of problems that Comey's July behavior created for the FBI.
Thoughts?

Just what all has Comey spoken about with Wittes? I believe here is clear evidence of an illegal leak.
WHY does this man have the knowledge he has about likely confidential level conversations between the President and Comey? Which he has proceeded to leak to the media?
The NYT article from yesterday also stated that two other individuals BRIEFED on the conversation went to the media. Comey obviously knows who these people are, it seems like the FBI should have a nice long chat with Comey and these people. And then perp walk the whole bunch.

Well spoken, NC.
Comey is a fine example of the "lukewarm" version of PC politicos, where sensitivity to offense becomes a pernicious and societally harmful impediment to doing their job.
Comey's job is to INVESTIGATE...and report...ALL FACTS. With no regard to elections, culture, feelings, etc. He became partisan when he erred on the side of caution, believing that his IMPACT in reporting facts, would harm one side (Dems/Hillary)...and that reporting that there was no evidence of collusion re Trump/Russians would help Trump.
Comey is a wreck. I would not be surprised if he pulls a Chelsea Manning and goes female. Thank God Joe Liebermann is taking the reigns.

quote:I've opined that Comey should have been fired at least three times prior to last Tuesday--the July press conference, the October letter, and the day Trump took office (in case Obama was reticent to seem vindictive over what was widely perceived as actions damaging to his party). Obviously the guy was faced with some unique challenges investigating a high-profile person during a campaign for the presidency she was favored to win. But I doubt anyone ever told him that being FBI director was supposed to be easy or simple. I'm sure as with most situations he did a lot of good behind the scenes (our frickups tend to standout more) but in public his handling of this entire thing reads as incompetent, bordering on bizarre--if not worse. Obviously some review of the investigation that's taken place so far, including an examination into Comey and the FBI's decision-making throughout the Clinton investigation, is warranted as part of Mueller's probe.
