People like him, McCabe, Brennan, and Clapper should have shut up years ago, but they kept doubling down and doubling down, increasing their legal liability. I hope they get the harshest punishment that can be applied for sedition or treason under the law.
Because I believe they are guilty of one of those two things.
I endorse your concept 2.
Comey is a sharp lawyer, who exploits language to commit crimes, evade responsibility, and confound truth-seekers. His recent acceptance of responsibility for the FBI’s “sloppy work” on the Page FISA application is a perfect example. He dumbs down criminal activity as if it were accidental, knowing that sloppiness is not a crime. Shouldering blame for someone else’s incompetence is an empty pretense to virtue that trivializes both virtue and the criminal activity he knowingly presided over.
Characterizing his conduct as socio- or psychopathic lets him off the hook. His nutty behavior is an act.
