James Comey Says Loretta Lynch Order Gave Him a 'Queasy Feeling'
time.com ^ | Jun 08, 2017

Former FBI Director James Comey said that Attorney General Loretta Lynch's handling of the investigation into Hillary Clinton's email server gave him a "queasy feeling."

Testifying before the Senate intelligence committee for the first time since he was fired by President Trump, Comey said that Lynch directed him not to describe the FBI inquiry as an "investigation," calling it “one of the bricks in the load” that led to his public statement.

“At one point the attorney general had directed me not to call it an investigation, but instead to call it a matter, which confused me and concerned me, “ Comey said Thursday. He later testified that the directive gave him “a queasy feeling.”

He said he did not know whether or not it was “intentional,” but Lynch’s suggestion that the investigation be called a matter suggested to him that “the attorney general was trying to align how we describe our work” with the Clinton campaign’s rhetoric.

Comey gets confused a lot for a supposedly competent lawyer.

BS! Loretta Lynch was a scapegoat! That was Comey's perfect excuse to let Hillary off!

Jim Comey is a corrupt FIXER for Hillary!

It’s becoming hilarious! All the descriptive adjectives Comey claims for his variety of reactions, we should start a list.

Queasy
Uncomfortable
Coward
Nauseous
Concerned
Afraid
Bewildered

This guy is a rhetorical illness on stilts. Therapy is recommended.

I have never in my life heard a lawyer use words so incompatible with the profession? He always uses emotional adjectives of feelings in an environment where fact is all that is required.

I think that before he would get confused boiling an egg, he would get confused turning on the gas first.

It’s no wonder Trump fired this strange man. He comes across as highly unstable.

Comey is the classic "limited access figurehead"

In small brief limited snips the guy comes off as impressive. With repeated and lengthy appearances however he is proven a buffoon.

Lynch got a good feeling from the fat bag of cash she got from the Clinton foundation

Comey is a dead man if he is not put under secret service protection.

The big bosses of the crime cartel the democrat party namely Hillary Clinton will murder comey before he sings as they did Seth Rich and countless others before him.

He knows that there’s a lot that could come out on his Dem dealings, so he’s risking bringing this up at all in order to try to give himself some wiggle-room deniability and distancing if Sessions’ Justice Department comes across too much with a little digging.

It’s not the Federal Bureau of Matters, Mr. Comey.
