What's Up with James Comey?
2016-11-08
[TheGreatRecession] So, FBI Director James Comey suddenly turns tail again, saying, "Nope. Nothing here people. False alarm. Carry on!"

Let me think about this...

The Comey Conundrum

Apparently, the Republicans didn’t consolidate enough hatred against James Comey for refusing to have the FBI recommend charges against Hillary the first time, so Comey decided he needed to make the entire Democratic party hate him, too, by announcing a second investigation of Hillary Clinton, which caused a large swing in the polls against her.

That, apparently, still didn’t bring enough new hatred against him, so Comey had to pull a second switch and say, "Sorry folks; false alarm," just to give the Republican hornet nest a second kick.

That also helped him ensure that the Democrats are loaded with ammo aimed at his raw behind after the election because they can now say, "You damaged the election for something that a few days later you said, yourself, amounted to nothing! Why didn’t you exercise a little more caution before you spouted off about these new emails?"

And it assured that, in case there were not enough agents in his own party that hated them, there would be more of those, too.

So, if we’re going to take James Comey at his word this second time around (that there was nothing there worthy of filing charges), we have to also believe Comey decided this year that committing political suicide in a spectacular fashion would be the greatest thing he could do with his life.

So, this is the Comey Conundrum: Did he say I want my entire agency and both parties to hate me more than an overflowing toilet, so I’ll poop my pants twice in the most public way possible and see if I can’t destroy myself -or- did he back away because of threats as big as death?

I dunno. Just askin’.

#2  Reminds me of Kerensky, a man who could do nothing right and whose stupidities ushered in the Bolsheviks.

#1  FBI Director James Comey looks back on [his] life [and wondered where it went]. He had this yen to be in the dustbin of history--a minor footnote, if even that, in the parade of history. And he could have been a contender had he been guided by law and principle.
