[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Comey is a attention seeking loose canon who just last week mis-spoke about the magnitude of email forwarding done by Huma Abedine. I don't like Huma Abedine, but what Comey did was wrong and he potentially could do a lot of damage. The way our news agencies work, they will report without fact checking, and simply push forward sensational news if it means more viewers.

Trump is right to be concerned, and is simply reminding Comey very publicly that he should be careful about the facts he puts forward. It's a reminder also to the news networks that they should hesitate to accept what Comey has to say in light of his recent error regarding Huma Abedine. [/quote]

Have you forgotten Comey's reputation for honesty? Whether he was right or wrong last year, he is still considered honest. [/quote]

Honest as in he believes what he says to be true? Possibly. But honesty has limited value when you are prone to making serious mistakes in judgement, such as declaring that criminal intent is a requirement for prosecution. It's now famously called the Comey defense and you can google how many judges have laughed that out of court when someone tried to use it. Comey's position on this is so indefensible that even Huffington Post ran an article talking about it: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/5-reasons-the-comey-hearing-was-the-worst-education_us_577ee999e4b05b4c02fbdcd5

At the same time that he was mis-speaking about the magnitude of email forwarding done by Huma Abedine, he went on an energetic description about how he masterfully navigated the political waters around what he saw was a DOJ that had been so compromised so as to have lost the trust of the public. He is so absorbed with his own political maneuvering that he didn't realize just how infuriating it is to the public to know that his concern was not to correct the corruption at DOJ with respect to its brazen protection of a political candidate, but how to deliver the news of non-prosecution to the public. He thinks he should be applauded for this maneuvering.

So in the end, what we can say is maybe his honesty is what revealed his incompetence, which then led to is firing.
