Posse Comey Tantrum
Mark Steyn On-line ^ | May 10, 2017 | Mark Steyn

Posted on 5/10/2017, 5:15:13 PM by Twotone

I'll say this for the suddenly departed FBI honcho James Comey: He's caused enough cases of whiplash to collapse Obamacare before the end of the week. The left in particular likes its cardboard heroes and cartoon villains drawn in bright Sharpie colors, and Comey insists on jumping back and forth between one role and the other like a movie stuntman leaping the roofs from northbound to southbound train.

Comey's not going to charge Hillary? What a stand-up guy! The very model of a dedicated public servant!

Comey's re-opened the Hillary investigation? What a partisan hack! He's just thrown the election to Trump! This is literally a police state!

Comey's investigating Trump's ties to Russia? Thank God! This career civil servant is all that stands between us and that fascist dictator!

Comey's fingering Huma Abedin for forwarding emails to Carlos Danger? God, this Trump stooge won't let up, will he?

Trump's fired Comey? How dare he? This is a crisis for the integrity of our institutions...

Amusing as all this is, I felt after his most recent diva turn in Congress that this guy is just too weird to be a policeman - even for one of those Brit telly coppers where the guy comes overloaded with traits: Inspector Comey Investigates, and Prosecutes, and Convicts (or, If He Doesn't, Trashes Your Reputation in Public). He'd be better off cast as one of those witnesses who can never stop talking, and keeps digging himself deeper and deeper.

In a few hours Comey has gone from incompetent liar to best FBI director in history given libs rantings.

The political Left needs to make up their minds over this. Otherwise, they’re going to become a laughingstock in no time flat.

Yep. Everyone should be required to read the letter from Rod Rosenstein before making a comment. It’s obvious that Comey was not doing his job, but everybody else’s job. Talk about a bull in a china shop!

I think they all agree that Trump is guilty of something.

They cant agree on impeachment or impeachment plus jail.

They are opposed to the death penalty or they would be talking about that.

Best post of the day, and every Freeper should read Steyn’s full article. Deputy AG Rosenstein’s letter details Comey’s actions which demanded his firing. Absolutely damning.
