The more you learn, sometimes the less you respect someone and I have lost whatever little shred of respect I had for James Comey. I don't know how he got past high school, let alone become the head of the FBI.
The man is an imbecile.
I touched on this once already, but it demands revisiting.
As of April 26, 2018, he still didn't know who funded the dodgy dossier:
Baier: When did you learn that the DNC and Hillary Clinton campaign had funded Christopher Steele’s work?How could he not know? More importantly, WHY doesn't he know? When you sign off on a FISA warrant, aren't you supposed to know pretty much everything to which you attest?Comey: Yes, I still don’t know that for a fact.
Baier: What do you mean?
Comey: I’ve only seen it in the media. I never knew exactly which Democrats has funded – I knew it was funded first by Republicans –
(Crosstalk)
Baier: But that’s not true.
Comey: I’m sorry?
Baier: That’s not true that the dossier that Christopher Steele worked on was funded by Republicans.
Comey: My understanding was his work started funded by – as oppo research funded by the Republicans.
Baier: So Free Beacon and – said that they had Glen Simpson and Fusion GPS on account of a retainer but they did not fund the Christopher Steele memo or the dossier. That was initiated by Democrats.
Comey: Ok, my understanding was the activity was begun that Steele was hired to look into was first funded by Republicans then picked up – the important thing was picked up by Democrats opposed to Donald Trump.
Baier: So it that why – did you tell President Obama that the dossier was – who it was funded by?
Comey: No, not to my recollection.
Baier: Did you want to know who it was funded by?
Comey: I wanted to know what I knew which was it was funded by people politically opposed to Donald Trump.
Baier: Ok.
Comey: Which particular opponents wasn’t that important to me.
Baier: But when did you – So you, still, to this day, don’t know that it was funded by the DNC or the (inaudible)?
Comey: I’ve read that in the media, but I don’t know for a fact and didn’t know, when I was at the FBI, which exact opponent of the president’s funded that.
Oddly, on April 13, 2018, he sort of did know:
James Comey told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos that he did not tell President Trump the infamous Fusion GPS dossier was funded by the DNC because he didn’t view it as necessary.And here comes the bomb:“Did you tell him the Steele dossier had been financed by his political opponents?” Stephanopoulos asked the former FBI director in an interview set to air on Sunday night.
“No, I don’t even think I used the words ‘Steele Dossier,'” Comey responded. “I just talked about additional material.”
“Did he have a right to know that?” Stephanopoulos asked as a follow-up."It wasn't necessary for my goal"“That it had been financed by his political opponents? I don’t know the answer to that,” Comey conceded. “It wasn’t necessary for my goal, which was to alert him that we had this information.”
Stephanopoulos wasn't about to ask him why he wouldn't tell him it was funded by hillary and the DNC. It wasn't Comey's goal to be truthful with Trump.
Comey claimed he didn't know Anthony Weiner was married to Huma Abedin:
Former FBI Director James Comey admitted to the Justice Department's inspector general that he initially forgot that Anthony Weiner was married to Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin, the IG said in a report on the FBI's investigation into Clinton's private email server.The Director of the FBI didn't know? How could he possibly not know that? Everyone else on Earth knew it.In late 2016, the FBI realized that some of Clinton's emails made their way onto Abedin's laptop at home that she shared with her husband, Weiner.
Then-Deputy Director Andrew McCabe thought that discovery was a "big deal," in part because it may have showed how classified emails might have been sent to a private, non-government computer.
But Comey indicated it didn't register with him why this news would be important.
"Comey said that he recalled first learning about the additional emails on the Weiner laptop at some point in early October 2016, although he said it was possible this could have occurred in late September 2016," the IG report said.
"Comey told the OIG that this information 'didn't index' with him, which he attributed to the way the information was presented to him and the fact that, 'I don't know that I knew that [Weiner] was married to Huma Abedin at the time,'" the report said.
Then he also forgot about the emails

When in doubt,dazzle’em with BS...
In my day, a goober like Comey would have had quite a few black & blue marks on them throughout their high school career.
He’s just stonewalling.
They all are.
LOL
I’d bet Comey got beat up a lot.
By being tall?
I’m sure he did great in school.
I am also sure he was the guy who would remind the teacher if she forgot to assign homework.
Also the guy who beta orbited the pretty girls and whined when they didn’t date him.
And the guy who periodically got his ass kicked by people who couldn’t take him any more.
Great meme. It should say “... unless it is a Republican” however.
He cheated. He’s a cheater, dirty cop, and all around nogoodnik.
“It wasn’t necessary for my goal, which was to alert him that we had this information.”
And with Comey’s “goal” Clapper then called CNN and said, “Hey, that report you’ve been waffling on? It was just briefed to PE Trump”.
CNN then ran with it and the rest is history (other than the drip-drip-drip of facts regarding how this complex plot was crafted).
Obviously too complex for little ol’ simple man Comey...
I heard Newt say Comey has been rehearsing that face for decades or something!
The impact of a lack of intellect is greatly magnified when one believes they are smarter than they actually are.
He likely has a GED.
Basketball scholarships?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Comey
He seems to have had a pretty good career in general.
However, I think when tough judgement calls have to be made that he simply isn’t always up to making the right ones.
Someone may make a great office manager, but not be capable of making CEO type decisions.
Think of Theresa May. She is generally quite a tough & smart cookie, but she has made a mess of Brexit.
Imagine if you had to give the order to put one of the most powerful Democratic politicians in America, Hillary Rodham Clinton, in handcuffs.
Mueller’s investigation is proof positive that you don’t want to mess with the Clintons. They believe in painful payback.
“The impact of a lack of intellect is greatly magnified when one believes they are smarter than they actually are.”
Sad case of 1 IQ point per inch of height..serious ailment striking back in those days when he was born...LOL..
