When I was a child, history was my favorite subject. I even took enough elective history classes at the collegiate level to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree with a double major in history and political science (pre-law). I changed my major to business after watching Al Pacino overact while portraying a criminal defense attorney in the movie And Justice for All. I probably ought to write Mr. Pacino a letter thanking him for crushing my naïve fantasy of becoming a real-life Perry Mason. I should also thank God that Al Pacino never played the part of a software developer or a writer, because he probably would have killed any future interest in those professions as well. The only safe career for me might have been as a sanitation worker.

If you've never seen the docudrama Turn, about General Washington's spies during the Revolutionary War, it is well worth the time to binge-watch (if you have Netflix) and appreciate what America was like before it became the beacon of freedom and hope that I've been blessed and privileged to call home for my entire lifetime. I can virtually guarantee that everyone will learn something about the origin of our country they either never knew or had forgotten as some obscure footnote of history.

For example, I clearly remembered that General Benedict Arnold was widely considered the most notorious traitor in U.S. history, but I couldn't remember specifically what he had done to betray General Washington and the Continental Army (he negotiated to sell a map of our defenses at West Point to spymaster Major John Andre of the British Army) or why the previously distinguished military hero would have done such a despicable deed. If Benedict Arnold hadn't escaped to England, he would have been hanged as a traitor.

The failure to indict, arrest and prosecute Comey for his role in the attempt to rig and Presidential election and then attempt a coup against a duly elected President even before he assumed office is a dark stain on the American justice system and has weakened the faith of the American people in their government. Lynch, Comey, Brennan, McCabe and Clapper and MANY OTHERS, must all be arrested, prosecuted and jailed. For that matter Obama should ALSO BE IN THAT BUNCH, AS MORE INGORMATION IS COMING OUT ABOUT HIS PART!....Wonder if his COLOR can protect him....probably so!
 
Benedict Arnold was a traitor who conspired against us for his own best interest. Hmm, doesn't sound like Comey. Who do we know who has at least attempted to collaborate with anti-democratic forces for their own best interests....if only we had some modern example to compare this to.

Comey loves Comey. No one else.

Neat. When did he attempt to conspire with foreign governments the way Arnold and Trump have?

I wonder if he actually wrote it, unlike Trump.

I have no problem with anyone selling books, lame.

Not written by Russians or a foreign government.
 
I am always amazed how Trumpers hate Comey as it was Comey that delivered the election for Trump. If not for Comey's idiotic letter right before the 16 election, Trump would probably not have been elected. It is the reason Trump was so gracious to Comey at that meeting in the White House. Trump knew at that time what Comey did for him. Trumpers should be kissing his ass. I can't stand Comey either for what it is worth.

ROTFLMFAO at you stupidity

The dossier—compiled by former British spy Christopher Steele on behalf of Fusion GPS, an opposition-research firm working for the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee—fed to the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the media the principal allegations of the “collusion” narrative. It claimed Paul Manafort was at the center of a “well-developed” Trump-Russia “conspiracy”; that Carter Page served as his intermediary, conducting secret meetings with a Kremlin official and the head of a state energy company; that Michael Cohen held a clandestine meeting in Prague with Vladimir Putin cronies; and that the Russians had compromising material on Donald Trump, making him vulnerable to blackmail. The dossier was clearly important to the FBI probe. Its wild claims made up a significant section of the FBI’s application for a secret surveillance warrant on Mr. Page.

Fool that you are

Show where Trump has.

Yep, I'm no Comey fan either for his own interference in the 2016 election. However I don't think where he went wrong was him trying to defend the reputation of the FBI to a fault.

Comey delivered nothing to Trump. and Comey cared less what his people were doing. He never checked them on it, just blindly signed off on anything set on his desk. And they knew that. He cared about his title. That was it.
