General Discussion

The media were the ones who blew up a really pretty mundane letter the Comey sent to Congress simply because he was previously obligated to do so if FBI decided to inspect any other pieces of evidence in the case (an obligation which was GQP fuckery in the first place). It wasn't even really true that Comey "reopened the case" and yet the GQP flying monkeys and M$M trumpeted that false storyline for days, with days of talking heads blabbering like this was some huge new development. There was also the detail that Comey was reportedly facing threats from wingnut agents from the NY office were going to "go public" with it if he didn't report the laptop to Congress (at least, that's how I vaguely recall the story).

I dunno. I don't really hate the guy as much as other people do, I don't sense he *intended* the outcome of Hillary losing the election, and that he was mostly just fulfilling an obligation he had to Congress. And I still give him some leeway because of how he handled the whole 2004 NSA surveillance issue when Ashcroft was in the hospital and Gonzalez tried to get him to sign off on the program (on behalf of DoJ) when he was all loopy and Comey was a major actor in getting Gonzalez to fuck off and leave without Ashcroft's sig. That showed integrity to me
