Comey should have been fired a long time ago. Very incompetent FBI director.

Do you believe everything that Comey said? Or just the things that hurt democrats?
I believe pretty much all of what he said. Seems logical, and when placed into context, most of this makes sense. Hell, even Trump's stuff makes sense within the entirety of the context.

The only person I think that was doing malicious stuff was Hillary. She was absolutely trying to sidestep potential oversight so it couldn't be used against her in her election run.

I think Obama leaned on the scales but didn't cross a line.

Lynch leaned on the scales until the scales ruptured. Of course, it only took one cheek of her ***.

Trump seems stuck in the business world (perhaps rightfully so) and I think it's killing his administration. Is his ignorance of government and separation of powers, etc malicious? Probably not. Is his refusal to adjust? I think so. This is another moment where you hope he learns his lesson, but does anybody really think he will? He's a 70 something year old billionaire.

So when Lynch and The Clinton's attempt to influence the wording used by the FBI director to benefit their public perception, its malicious...but Trump pressuring the Director to pull off of investigating a member of the administration....it's benign?

I personally think both are appalling and indicate substantial guilt.

Momentum has changed. Now it's time for the press to start talking about BLM again.

It goes along with what I heard about higher ups in the FBI hearing the call made by Lynch telling Comey that there would be no prosecution of Hillary, prior to his big press conference.

Why didn't Comey say that then?

I didn't say that WRT Lynch and the Clintons. That and what Trump did was concerning, but I don't think it necessarily crossed a line. Charles Krauthammer had a pretty good take yesterday on the Trump angle that made sense because he put it into the entirety of perspective. I used that same logic with Lynch and Obama.

I was referring to Clinton's use of a private email server. I think that was malicious and calculating. It wasn't a "mistake".

I'm honestly surprised that people still care.

I don't care about the email server thing anymore, noone will try that again. If Clinton Foundation was truly pay for play, that needs an example made out of it.

If they're going to prosecute that lefty Leaker 25 year old chick from Georgia (don't remember her name) for leaking classified material, if I were her I'd invoke the Hillary "intent" defense.

Why does Hillary get off for mishandling classified documents and we're prosecuting this snowflake?

Let's make sure it's not happening with the current administration also.

I can see why you think they are similar boom but they are not.

Lynch and Clinton were hiding illegal activity. Flynn had not done anything illegal, and so far there is no evidence any other crimes were being hidden or covered up.

Lynch wanted to make sure Hillary wasn't prosecuted for a known violation of Federal Law (Espionage act)

Intent is not required in the Law to prove it was violated. What law did Flynn violate as a sworn in Officer of the Federal Government?

It's not the same thing boom.

Really? You dont see a huge difference between the two? Namely Hilary broke laws and there is no evidence that Trump did. He is not even under investigation.

No he doesn't see it, even after it was pointed out to him!

Why would anyone be concerned about the Sec. of State exposing top secret information to the world via an unsecured server?

It was all about her "intent". She was just trying to quickly secure RSVPs for Chelsea's Wedding don't you know?

She got beat, she's done, there wasnt lives lost (or even endangered?) due to her actions...if there was... Comey and Lynch should be in prison. But there wasn't. It's over.

I disagree entirely. That is blatent violation of law and done by trained legal professionals. They broke the law to hide their actions from Americans. If there was ever a scenario primed for one of our leaders to collude to truly hurt our country this is it and everyone involved should be in jail.

Apparently there will be more news regarding Lynch actively working to control Comey.
