There's a lot of people that want James Comey torched--not only Republicans but Democrats too. His name is "Mudd" on both sides of the isle. He is the most incompetent--abohorrent FBI director in this nations history. He broke long standing DOJ protocol on 3 different occasions over the Clinton email investigation, was warned by the DOJ that he was breaking protocol, and made a decision by himself to do it anyway. During all these interviews, he makes no apologies for it, but makes excuses.
Comey states:
"I must have thought at the time, since Hillary Clinton was so far ahead in the polls, I would reopen the investigation, just so I could clear her again, so she wouldn't be known as an illegitimate President once she was elected, and the news broke that there were more emails on Anthony Wieners computer. That's basically his excuse for violating the Hatch Act in the Constitution. DOJ protocol specifically states to not release any information within 60 days of an election. Comey did it within 11 days. During that time millions of Americans voted believing that charges were imminent against Hillary Clinton, and 7 days later Comey gave birth to a nothing burger.
Asked if he would make the same decision again, his answer is yes. Comey even used a Russian alterted document to attack Hillary Clinton with. When Lyndsey Graham found out about that, he had a conniption fit right on the senate floor.
'None of it makes much sense': Experts are baffled by Comey's use of a fake Russian document to skirt the DOJ
Eric Holder and 100 other former Justice officials sign letter blasting Comey's 'breach of protocol'
DOJ Complaint Filed Against FBI Director James Comey For Interfering In Presidential Election
Rod Rosenstein wrote a very critical report over that, which is what Trump originally gave for firing Comey. But no one believed that story-- which basically was that Trump fired Comey in order to protect Hillary Clinton--
So Trump got on National T.V. and ended up admitting that he fired Comey over the Russian investigation.
Trump was right to fire Comey--there is no doubt about it. The problem is he should have done it
as soon as he walked into the Oval office, and not waited until after the Russian investigation was in the news. The only gratification I got was how Comey was fired. While he was giving a speech to surrogates in San Francisco--he got to read about his firing off of a ticker tape---
I will not buy James Comey's book to help with him with his retirement plans. I will not read about his loyalty to this country, when he can't even follow standard DOJ protocol. Comey has an ego that matches Trump's. They both think they're KINGS, and can do anything they want without any reprocussions.
There's a much better book out there anyway.
