With all the talk about no indictments before the midterms, HOW ABOUT A REVERSE-COMEY?

You all know the damage he did.

Without lifting a finger, or accidentally putting two pieces of plutonium next to each other, he helped unleash major destruction.

Six years later, James Comey's Clinton conference still stings
Six years ago, then-FBI director James Comey held a controversial press conference. It was a huge gift to Trump.

Six years ago today, Comey held an infamous press conference at the height of the 2016 presidential election, in which he announced that although Hillary Clinton hadn’t committed any crimes in using a private email server as secretary of state, she’d still done things Comey personally thought were “extremely careless.”

Comey’s announcement may well have helped tank Clinton’s campaign.


Now, it's time to reverse the damage.

"Someone" needs to drop the verbal hammer.

If it's any hint, the recovery of stolen documents from one location did not bring about a civil war, only further deranged speech.

Many connected crimes were committed, and I have zero inside knowledge, but what if some announcement were made regarding pipe bombs, or seditious activities of "certain elected representatives"?

And I wish justice was a thing here but it is not anymore.

Then again, if this is the case, some dems may call for Garland's "promotion" to refereeing hockey games.

I can only drop hints.

Comey was put in a bind because he and Obama would have been accused of political interference and protecting Clinton.

I think it was a no-win either way because the media circus would have been about what was the Obama FBI covering up otherwise.

It took the anti-Hillary narrative to a whole new level since suddenly, the trumped up narrative of corruption seemed to have some basis to the average person.

I don't think Clinton was going to win, regardless of what Comey did.

The FIX was in.

Then the Mueller Report was turned into a Nothingburger by Barr.
