He didn’t botch it, per se.

He was actively covering up multiple felonies and espionage committed by his criminal associates, the Clintons.

Comey should be imprisoned.

Do we have an honest broker amongst us?

Maybe this is why he appointed the Mueller cuz sounds like he might become a witness at some point

And we all know Hillary would have dumped Comey on day one.

We have a missing character here. She said she deferred to Comey. Where is she?

The media has become “the boy who cried wolf” and their credibility is damaged more and more as is the credibility of the GOP and so called “conservative pundits.”

Trump just needs to ignore them and tell the RINO’s to grow a pair and get on with business.

The Comey decision was the right thing no matter what so who cares about timing. If Comey had any honor he would accept responsibility and place the blame where it belongs - on Hillary. She is the one who created the mess in the first place and her husband is the one that pushed an ill-advised (even according to the MSM) meeting with the AG. Had she not violated numerous laws with her email set-up Comey would not have had to pick his poison. He got in bed with the wrong person anyways so he doubled down on the stupid - the smart move would have been to recuse himself and ask for an independent counsel/inquiry by DOJ.

He damaged the FBI.... bigly. His notes present a major problem. Show one and show them all including his meetings with the AG and Obama.

The whole thing is BS, but I am starting to think the independent investigator was the best move. It removes as much of the politics as possible and we already know there are no signs of collusion per Brennan, Clapper, Feinstein, and a whole host of others.

It also opens up opportunity for the one pledge of Trump that I am most disappointed he did not keep. A special prosecutor to look into “her situation.”

Oh that’s an easy one.

The crime was that Hillary lost an election rigged in her favor, and The Swamp isn’t happy about it.

Agreed. PROSECUTE COMEY FOR OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE.

Hillary, Huma, Cheryl Mills, Susan Rice, Loretta Lynch, Bryan Pagliano, Lois Lerner, etc., should ALL be in Federal prison! Comey protected the Clinton Crime Syndicate and he needs to be PROSECUTED for it.

Trey Gowdy says Comey had classified intel that basically forced him to drop the case:

Instead of Robert Mueller to be special prosecutor, why didn't Rosenstein select Vladimir Putin or Ayman al-Zawahri.

Oh wait. There's no difference.

“I wrote it. I believe it. I stand by it,” he said, according to the opening statement provided by senior Justice Department officials. He maintained that Comey’s handling of the Hillary Clinton email probe was “wrong and unfair.”

“Prosecutor” is used incorrectly.

Officially, it’s the DOJ Office of Special Counsel, which replaced the Office of the Independent Counsel and reported to Congress rather than the DOJ as at present. Congress’ Independent Counsel was a prosecutor.

There is also another Office of Independent Counsel that investigates federal civil service employees. That Counsel has not been mentioned in connection with this.

Comey was a flamboyant flop, he should be ashamed and if he continues to lie he should be prosecuted by the DOJ.

Gowdy is an idiot.

There is no information that would make what Clinton did not multiple felonies.

It’s plainly obvious that she broke the law, and it is also plainly obvious that Comey applied the standard of intent to that law, which does not contain that standard.

Furthermore, no one has any faith or trust in the process or the FBI as a result of what he did.

History will not be kind to Comey, because Comey is a criminal and a Swamp snake.

Everyone is assuming Trump is the focus of the special council.

How about Comey and his politically corrupt illegal coordination with the Obama White House ,of the US Counter Intelligence groups, without required Congressional Oversight, as the real target of the special council?

You are all going to dislike me, but, I am going to tell you how the both the media and the Democrat scum and vermin, low life can be broken politically. And, it’s as simple as the nose on your faces.

There are three congressional House special elections coming up shortly, one in Montana, one in Georgia and one in South Carolina. The voters in these congressional districts should turnout out in huge numbers, casting “ALL” their votes for the Republican candidates!!! We have already won held the first of these four seats, the one in Kansas!!

We need three massive political defeats for the Democrat Party...and, in every election this year we should use every resource we have at our command to destroy these low life, “America haters”, Democrats, as a viable and workable political force!!!

Ms. Ronna Romney McDaniel, the current RNC Chairman should make the defeat of these three Democrat candidates her life’s work!!! Please write to her and tell how important these victories will be. IMHO, the Democrat Party is destroying itself, politically and, we should help it in accomplishing that goal at every opportunity that arises. Get to work, folks, with both your volunteer, labor and contributed, bucks!!!

If the Democrats ever regain political power...this country is finished for you, your children, your grandchildren and all American children, yet to come!!! The “GREAT” empires of the past failed because “Leadership” in their once great, societies failed & disappeared. Americans, do not make this historical mistake here in America, the Democrat Party must be politically destroyed from top to bottom!!!
