Turns out Comey gave Hillary a pass on emails because he thought she would win
American Thinker ^ | 04/13/2018 | Monica Showalter

Posted on 04/13/2018 7:27:38 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

James Comey's memoir, pompously titled A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies, and Leadership, set for release on April 17, is out from the reviewer class, and all but one seems to have missed the bombshell in it: that Comey neglected to prosecute Hillary Clinton for her refusal to properly handle the nation's top secrets through her illegal private bathtub server, and exposed those secrets to  our nation's enemies, because he thought she would win the 2016 election.  Some Boy Scout, as he and his allies portray him.

Quite a few of the reviewers focus on Comey's descriptive powers, something that could make anyone look negative if the view is biased enough, which Comey's is.  He natters on about Trump's hand size, the bags under his eyes, his tie being too long, and other stylistics that mark Comey as a vain little man obsessed with looks, little different from David Brooks and his fascination with the crease of President Obama's pant legs.  Sounds about par for a preening fop, which I guess Comey is.  I didn't know there were guys who did this.

There also is focus on he-said, she-said exchanges, which, given Comey's penchant for lying, raises questions as to the accuracy of the supposed recollections.  Supposedly, Gen. John Kelly was all broken up about Comey's firing.  Well, maybe – he's a swamp thing, after all, and he's said to be a nice person, very empathetic, but who knows?

Then there are the pointless anecdotes, which the Daily Wire rightly classifies as "nothingburgers."  Are we supposed to be surprised that President Trump didn't like the "pee tape" about himself, in a dossier put together by his enemies and their Kremlin "sources"?  Or to think it unnatural that President Trump wouldn't want his wife to believe it?  It all seems natural and predictable.

Comey is an example of how BAD our big government is and why we need smaller government and more accountability.

The guy is basically mentally ill and ran our biggest government law enforcement agency. Scary

He gave her a pass because the “polls” had her ahead and he thought she would win.

SO...if the TRENDING narrative is asking us to decide if we line up behind Comey, or line up behind Trump.
I choose Trump. Comey NEVER did his job to bring to JUSTICE the lady Hillary, he was always looking out for her making sure she would be elected. So WHO IS LYING, and WHO is the one now who says he is full of integrity.
I am not buying his narrative.

I don’t believe this for a minute.

Comey was privy to private polling data and desperately attempted to cover his ass for an impending Trump victory.

Thankfully our wise President saw through this charlatan and defenestrated him

The second part of that quote is Matt Lauer needs to be fired thereby admitting ABC news was part of her campaign.

First she uses him to clear herself, then removes exhibit A permanently. He might have dodged a bullet, a real one.

Yep.

People misunderstand when someone points out that the Democrat Party is like the Communist Party in the old Soviet Union.

They think that the person is saying that the Democrats want communism. They don’t. They would have to pull turnips in a true communist state.

Americans have a hard time separating “the Communist Party” from “communism”.

The Communist Party in the Soviet Union just became a tyrannical tribe that ruled over Russia.

That is what our Democrat Party wants to become. The Democrat Party wants to become a tyrannical tribe that rules over the US.

Nancy Pelosi’s and Hillary Clinton have absolutely no desire to be true Communists and work in the fields pulling turnips.

A federal prosecutor could have a field day with that book. I hear GITMO has some vacancies.

I respectfully disagree with your assertion, re: communists; Communism is for the people, not the communists. Always has been, always will be.
