FBI Director James Comey’s ruinous year

What a year it has been for James Comey!

At the start of 2016, the FBI director enjoyed a reputation as a public servant of high integrity, earning bipartisan acclaim for his stewardship of the nation’s preeminent law enforcement agency.

[artichokegrower]

And an ugly conclusion is becoming difficult to escape: He singlehandedly caused Donald Trump to win the presidency.

Nope James it had to do with:

Unpopular candidate Poor campaigning Obama's legacy Race baiting Open borders Poor economy Failed foreign policy Overall disgust with liberal policy

[JudyinCanada]

Everything the Clintons are involved in turns to ruin.

[Terry Mross]

He helped Hillary be clearing her of any wrongdoing ... TWICE!

[Mr. K]

He could have achieved the exact same outcome as we have now, and kept his credibilty, if he has said “Turning the matter over for prosecution” rather then the totally ridiculous statement “no reasonable prosecutor would pursue this”

[b4its2late]

Still whining on the left coast.

[hal ogen]

I hope they have reason to whine for the rest of their pathetic and miserable existence.

[Uncle Sam 911]

One person single handedly got someone elected President of the United States? If he has that much power, Trump better treat him with kid gloves!!! Trump’s election had nothing to do with the arrogant, law breaking, who cares record of his opponent of course. One of the greatest things about being a left wing lunatic is never having to say you’re sorry. That’s because you never do anything wrong. Just ask them.

Can't blame Comey b/c Hillary was an unpopular candidate running on Obama's (gag) "progressive legacy"......his race-baiting, letting millions of terrorist cross our borders, plus all of the cockamamie ideas that contributed to a poor economy, failed foreign policy....and so on and so forth.

The Clinton campaign team proved to be a ruinous gaggle of entitled, smarmy, elitist, know-it-alls. Their entire world revolves around "I, me, my, mine."

Imagine a Hillary administration of Jennifer Palmieri clones, telling US what to do, as they loll around eating kale chips and quinoa, counting the number of brown people in govt, cashing US govt checks 9-5.

2016 is the year Americans simply had had enough of liberalism.

Poor Dana. His time is over and past just like Hillary's.

Deep inside I'm blue
So take a good look at my face
You'll see my smile looks out of place
If you look closer, it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

Nope, my take is he was flummoxed, caught in a web of deceit and world class corruption. His ingrained cop instincts ran up against the overwhelming corruptness of the Clinton's while facing enormous pressure.

He was melting down.

[Just mythoughts]

How could Comey have predicted Weiner would have all the ‘hidden’, supposedly bleached emails of pay to play with Hillry? Those ‘bleached’ emails were just waiting, for Weiner to display to the world again, his obsession with his weiner. Comey lost ‘control’ of Hillry bathroom server networking, hence he claimed he reopened the non-existent white-wash investigation.

[DJ Frisat]

I think the only one Comey screwed over was himself. As far as I’m concerned, he has no credibility or honor.

He needs to be fired, even if it makes lefties happy...

[FiddlePig]

What lil’ snowflake Dana is confessing is Hillary was done in by truth... the mortal enemy of Leftists. Truth is to be overwhelmed by an assault of lies! In this case truth prevailed so now liberals wail!

[eyeamok]

WOW, you talk about delusional!, Comey did everything humanly possible to help Hillary, that is why she is not in PRISON RIGHT NOW, where she belongs.

As for Huma’s Laptop, why isn’t her and her perv husband in PRISON as we Speak for their POSSESSION OF CLASSIFIED MATERIAL WITHOUT ANT SECURITY CLEARANCE????

Comey is a Traitor and Corrupt.

[kabar]

DANA MILBANK!?! Who cares what that a$$hole has to say?

[b4its2late]

Definitely! Fun to watch but some get down right dangerous.

[Buckeye McFrog]

If Hillary were not engaged in malfeasance there would be no Comey letter to be debating here.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Comey is a Traitor and Corrupt.

The lesson here is that the Clintonistas/Obamaites have managed to corrupt and politicize EVERYTHING inside the Beltway. It truly is time to Drain the Swamp.

[Jeff Chandler]

DANA MILBANK!?! Who cares what that a$$hole has to say?

I know, right? She's such a jerk.

[Zeppo]

an ugly conclusion is becoming difficult to escape...

That part, at least, is true.

It's difficult to escape the ugly conclusion that Dana Milbank is a sycophantic follower of Hillary Clinton and 'progressive' idiocy in general, who never met a leftist lie that he didn't salute.
