It's all downhill for Comey now
American Thinker ^ | 04/15/18 | Thomas Lifson

Posted on 04/15/2018 7:39:40 PM PDT by Pining_4_TX

The day that James Comey cashed the multi-million dollar advance check from MacMillan Publishers will turn out to mark the date that we can call “Peak Comey.” It was all downhill from the instant the ink started drying on his signature on the back of the check. He and his ghost writer suddenly faced the unenviable task of making him look like the righteous warrior he had always portended to be, but with the need to fill 300 pages with something. Self-serving rationalizations can’t sustain reader interest over that many words, so apparently they decided that prose about physical appearances drawn from the bodice-ripper school of novels grafted onto Trump-hatred would do the trick.

The result was so awful that even the Washington Post, owned by arch-enemy of Trump Jeff Bezos, felt the need for a satire. The result, written Alexandra Petri, a Post writer whose “Compost” blog is described as “offering a lighter take on the news and opinions of the day,” is downright hilarious. Purporting to offer “further excerpts” from his forthcoming book, her satire takes on the purple prose and wrestles it to the mat.

It is highly possible that all Comey ever wanted was that “multi-million check” and everything else is irrelevant to him. He’d be very much like every member of Congress if that were the case.

Try looking that up on youtube in a couple of days. It might be there. Search for “Gutfeld show Zuckerberg testify” and see what you get.

“However, I fear a method to his madness, but can not put my finger on it. Comey is a experienced political operator. He is saying these provocative things for a cold & calculated reason.”

I’m thinking the same. Perhaps if they have everyone lying and creating mass confusion, it will not be possible to sort out what really went on, and thus not prosecute anyone.

Is Chinatown the closest subway exit to the Federal courthouse?

One can dream....:

Greg Gutfeld’s show stays on Youtube for 3 or 4 days. A must-see this week, the guy is funny as hell. The way one of his hosts looks at him, she has a crush for him.

The title is a typo - Comey’s goal in authoring the book is “Higher Royalty”.

When you realize that Comey was never an FBI agent things start to become clear. He was a lawyer who did work for the Clinton Foundation before he became FBI director.

“oily cadence”! Love your description. I will also listen to both and check it out. (Sounds about right though. Excellent parallel connection!)

Comey is an arrogant, insecure, immature, punk. How many manly men even know about marks around the eyes from tanning beds/goggles? I assure you no man I know uses any tanning bed.
Comey is a very sick narcissistic just like his fag pal Obama.
Supposedly, Comey flew to the island Bill Clinton goes to as Comey likes little boys.

"Greg Gutfeld’s show..."

The only thing we watch on Saturday nights (we're actually a house full of book-readers, but know when to lighten up).

Go to Conservative gReenhouse website to read today’s post about the bombshells coming out in the IG report about the Loretta Lynch involvement in the Huma Weiner laptop investigation two weeks before the election.
Explosive!!

The American people will ‘soon’ be able to judge ‘who is honorable and who is not’


Yes, and they will make that judgement based on who is acting in their interests, and who is making things better in the country, not on who print the most scandalous stories.

IF the book is based upon his own criminal behavior-—Can he make money from that? I thought there was a law against such.

That man must go to prison. Treason.


Sedition and treason are just words now.
