Comey isn’t a man.

He’s a dirty weasel.

Weasel weasel weasel

If there were any ‘ethics’ involved in DIRECTOR Comey’s actions with General Flynn, they were of the ‘situational ethics’ mode, one that is subject to an unbiased interpretation of “what can I/we get away with!” Despicable morality to boot!

The reality is you don’t speak to the FBI.... ever. Not one word, even with a lawyer.

Alternatively you just say “F*** You” over and over.

It is amazing that Comey is and has been a law unto himself for so long, and gotten away with it. He himself deserves to be before the court on many criminal charges. He is worse than what he has accused the President of. Unforgivable.

He is doing what the Deep State wants.

He is doing what the Media/Democrats/Progressives want.

They have been protecting him by proclaiming any action against him is obstruction of justice, for which they will impeach.

The civil lawsuits against Comey, McCabe, Strzok, Page and others is going to be massive...

“Flynn ultimately bears responsibility for any false statements to FBI agents.”

Really? If the agents lied, misrepresented or misled Flynn is that still the case?

My God, I guess if POTUS Trump could do it all over again, some of his initial personnel decisions would be much different and a better attempt at total swamp drain.

The President never really recovered from Chris Christie’s ‘help’. Christie BFF Christopher Wray at FBI is a prime example.

"End the FBI."

I disagree. There are countless examples of how they bust terrorists and organized crime and individual criminals every day. That said, take a damn bleach-filled scouring brush to the leadership.

It's the same as the problem with our Navy with all their recent mishaps. Admirals (some Captains) looking for their next star and/or political gain are to blame. The rank and file in the FBI and the enlisted in the Navy just want to their jobs. I don't trust anyone above 0-3 (Lieutenant)in the Navy anymore, much less the women who are pushed through for PC.

“and we should not forget that Flynn ultimately pleaded guilty to lying”

Under extreme pressure and without knowledge of what Comey had actually done.

Comey is guilty of far worse then not remembering all of a phone conversation. Flynn was head of the DIA, he knew his call was monitored and certainly said nothing that he thought was out of line.

"He said, “Something we’ve, I probably wouldn’t have done or maybe gotten away with in a more organized investigation, a more organized administration."

1) He was the man in charge. It was his job to provide the leadership to enforce the "organization". This disorder was his fault any screw-up is on him. That he chose to deliberately take advantage of the disorder he allowed on an incoming administration is his shame and culpability alone. He created the problem he pretends to diagnose.

2) The disorder he talks about extends deep into the Obama administration and their end justifies the means approach to the law. It involves violations of both procedures and laws and political targeting of the Trump administration.

“take a damn bleach-filled scouring brush to the leadership”

That’s been said over and over a thousand times.

The organization itself will always produce people like Comey, Strozk and McCabe — it’s the inevitable result of the way the organization itself is set up.

Our ancestors - well, mine anyway, can’t say about people Comey and Mueller - didn’t shoot at their British overlords to create some monstrous police state. That’s exactly what they were against.
