Comey donates maximum amount to Democratic challenger in Virginia House race

Former FBI Director James Comey donated the maximum legal amount to Democratic candidate Jennifer Wexton as she campaigns to unseat vulnerable Virginia Rep. Barbara Comstock (R) in November.

Comey donated $2,700 to Wexton's campaign in September as the Virginia Democrat continues to gain momentum in the state's hotly-contested 10th congressional district race, Federal Election Commission filings show.

The former FBI head has traditionally donated to Republican campaigns, including Mitt Romney’s 2012 presidential campaign and John McCain’s presidential campaign in 2008.

However, Comey, who was fired by President Trump in May 2017, revealed earlier this year that he was leaving the Republican party because of the president.

"The Republican Party has left me and many others," he said at the time. "I just think they've lost their way and I can't be associated with it."

He also added that he thinks the Republican Party now reflects "entirely Donald Trump's values."

"It doesn't reflect values at all. It's transactional, it's ego-driven, it's in service to his ego," Comey said.

The former longtime Republican has since called on Americans to vote for Democrats in the midterm elections, saying: "Policy differences don’t matter right now. History has its eyes on us."

A Monmouth University poll released earlier this month shows Wexton leading Comstock by 6 points in Virginia's 10th Congressional District.

Another rotten RINO slithers out of hiding. May he have thrown away much of his ill-gotten gains backing failed Democrats when the smoke clears on November 7.

Comey never said nothing about WJC's "values"...!!

And supporting RINOS like Mclame..and Willard....doesn't make you a "R"....Makes you a RINO....

And lastly....Comey should be in jail!!

When is that going to happen..??

Has anyone actually checked to see if the pussy-hat wearing Comey actually did donate to the establishment globalist politicians McCain & Romney in the past?

A Swamp divided against itself cannot stand.

Comstock is the personification of GOPe Intel bureaucracy swampification. Before Trump she would be the ideal “Republican” for a guy like Comey.

Let's hope so.
