[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tell us more. Comey is responsible for this whole drumpf disaster. There are people who said he released the Clinton emails to cover his ass which is bs. He couldn't stand the idea of a female and a Clinton being president. This egotistical asshat delivered the orange idiot into the White House. He deserves the same contempt. [/quote]

I think you're quite wrong about this. [b]When he talks about his feminist wife and daughters, you don't get that impression at all.[/b] (They were horrified by Trump and the effect of Comey's comments right before the election.)

Comey doesn't say it in the book, but my sense of his motivation for that late announcement about the emails is that he was afraid that agents in the NYC FBI field office (nicknamed Trumplandia) would leak the info themselves and thus make it look like the FBI was covering up news of the cache of emails found on Abedin/Weiner's computer. (Those agents had already lied to the NYTimes, which killed a damaging story about Trump earlier in the election season.) Comey did it to protect the reputation of the FBI and didn't fully appreciate the impact his statement would have on the election, although he should have.

I have a lot of respect for Comey, who is a flawed but faithful and committed public servant. He has said he feels ill with the idea that his actions impacted the election, and I take him at his word.[/quote]
The miniseries shows this - not sure if it actually happened (it's based on his book, so I suppose it did) where he tells his wife what he's going to do and she is really upset with him.[/quote]
