In a Tuesday interview with CNN's Christiane Amanpour, former FBI Director James Comey conceded that his decision to announce in October 2016 that the FBI was reopening an investigation into Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server may have helped Trump win the election, but defended it as "the least terrible option."

Amanpour: "Do you ever think that you might be responsible for the election of President Trump? Does that keep you up at night?"

Comey: "Sure. And I hope someday somebody proves that we were irrelevant. ... I hope we had no impact. I hope it's proven that it was irrelevant. But all it does is increase the pain. It doesn't change how I think about the decision. My view and the view of my team was: I cannot conceal from the American people that the investigation we told them, and fought to tell them, is done, is done, is done — is not done, and the result could change."

1. Mr Comey -- you did your part in creating that terrible outcome

2. Partisan federalist society stooge says what...

He knew full well he was putting his entire weight on the side of the republican party.

Like all federalist society stooge members it is ALWAYS party over principles or country.

Rot in hell, comey

18. Keep on hoping, Comey.

Lots of hoping in that quote. Hoping someone else will bail you out for the unjustified and downright evil decision you made 8 years ago.

And I hope someday somebody proves that we were irrelevant

And suddenly it's a "we" that made the decision to torpedo Hillary's campaign.


Well, we on the other side of the political spectrum are entitled to hope, too. And I hope that it does keep you up EVERY. DAMN. NIGHT. I hope you never get another good night's sleep the rest of your life. I hope that when you stand in front of St. Peter he sends you in the express hand basket to hell after he looks in his ledger and sees every death you contributed to by furthering the election of the greedy COVID-denier. I hope you hear the cries of the COVID-orphans in what little sleep you do get. And the cries of the kids in Afghanistan and Ukraine who lost their parents due to the foul sack of crap you ushered into the most powerful office in the world.

I honestly can't decide if I hope you rot in hell or burn in hell, Comey. But I guess you're not really worth the time I've already spent thinking about it.

28. Thank you. He has blood on his hands.

5. How damn foolish he sounds, and how foolish does he think CNN's viewers are?

And how wonderful is Christiane Amanpour?

[boston bean]

6. He will always be an arrogant POS!

[brush]

7. The bastard unleased the trump plague onto the nation.

He's responsible for these last few years of horror and chaos.

[Sky Jewels]

31. He facilitated the deaths of hundreds of thousands

due to the horrible Covid response. And the destruction of countless asylum-seeking families that were torn apart. And the overturning of Roe. And so on.

[brush]

39. Absolutely. All the covid deaths, and some of those parens separated from their kids at the border...

have never been reunited with them.

Comey should be in some kind of shame hall of fame for his relentless misdeeds against Hillary, and the subseqeunt unleashing of trump upon us.

[Oopsie Daisy]

8. Among others. It didn't start with him, however.

The well was poisoned earlier.

[dem4decades]

9. Mr Comey, why didn't you and your team feel compelled to tell us about the Trump investigation?

Fuck off asshole, you did Rudy's bidding for him.

[NNadir]

10. History will record this piece of shit as, um, a piece of shit. n/t.

[ProfessorGAC]

21. Aptly Put

And that lame rationalization does nothing to diminish the POS status.
It's patently ridiculous to claim it was the least terrible option, particularly since this revived "investigation" turned up absolutely nothing. How could it be the least terrible option when they still found no wrongdoing.?
It's utter nonsense.

[Ilsa]

11. I remember my minister saying he felt lost after

Comey came announced the new investigation. I think the minister probably changed his vote.

[Walleye]

12. He's ready with more rationalizations. I will never forgive him.

[Kittycatkat]

13. Another misogynist who could not stand a woman running for President

… so just as Hillary is about to win, this bastard decides to take matters into his own hands and fu$&s the world and unleashes a plague named trump!

[TommieMommy]

14. No 💩 yes Comey was responsible for what happened to our country.

So many people will not forgive him for what he did. Was he so afraid of Hillary becoming president. Comey is another piece of 💩

[hatrack]

15. After TSF, he's one of the people I most look forward to never hearing about again . . .

[Botany]

16. Fuck Him.

He like Sandra Day O'Connor knowingly screwed America out of an honest election. I hope everyday for the rest of his life his waking hours and his dreams too never give him a minute of peace.
Comey was well aware of the Russian paid off agents in the NYC's FBI office in 2016 and about the Trump’s campaign constant connections to Putin's Alfa Bank.

17. maroon

[splunge63]

19. fuck that guy

mega turd. anything and everything he says about it is pure rationalization.

[Zambero]

20. Anthony Wiener's nothingburger laptop

Comey announced his 11th hour re-opening of the investigation into Hillary's emails as if there was probable cause. He did nothing to balance it with the possibility that perhaps there could be nothing there. And nothing was. Comey admits that he may have enabled Trump's win and the debacle that followed, with horrific impact to this day. Take out the "may" and he is spot-on.

[dlk]

22. Oh please! Comey knew exactly what he was doing at the time and he did it, anyway

He’s just sorry about the consequences of his actions, and how costing Hillary the election has cost our country so much more; even more than he could have ever imagined (think J6, for starters).

Our nation may never recover. Thank you Jim Comey.

[sl8]

23. From April 2019. nt

[SharonClark]

27. Yep, I wonder why this tweet account

decided to bring up an article over 5 years old as if it was new information?

Could it be CLICKBAIT?

[milestogo]

24. It was totally relevant, and you were an irresponsible, America-hating, misogynistic moron.

Her emails. Your stinking ass.

[republianmushroom]

25. What and a-hole comely is.

[TrunKated]

26. The Hatch act should come with prison sentences.

[Aristus]

29. You THINK???

Thanks for coming back to Planet Earth, dickhead!

[Blue Owl]

30. That motherfucker

[NoMoreRepugs]

32. Eat shit and die you dickwad.

[Nixie]

33. "cannot conceal from the American people". Such BS.

It was a calculated move to suck up to his party. He got his instant karma, though. Fired and tossed aside by the POS he helped.

Hillary had to fight on every front. It still is a travesty the way she was treated.

[Freethinker65]

34. He didn't get the money up front, eh?

[Xolodno]

35. I'm going to bet...

...that he thought if he didn't reveal the investigation his ass would be hauled in front of Congress and eventually fired. What he didn't realize, either way, his ass was going to be hauled into Congress and fired anyway. He fucked up on that decision, to quote TSF...."bigly".

[NBachers]

36. He's right down there with Ralph Nader and the Nadroids.

[GoodRaisin]

37. No no no. Hell no. Protocol was that you weren't supposed to say that

10 days before an election and you chose to break protocol. All for what didn’t amount to the shit on a fly’s ass. If it was up to me you would be breaking rocks.

[videohead5]

38. Duh

!!!!!

[betsuni]

40. He knows what he did no matter how he tries to fool himself. Scrooooooooooooge!

[mucholderthandirt]

41. So, Comey taking responsibility for Trump winning, Loomer no longer Trump's gal pal, ...

Robinson dropped like a big sack of shit, the usual gang of idiots basically gagged, and Johnson concedes to a decent spending bill, Harris higher and higher in polls...

Holy, shit, Batman! We are going to win this thing. It's going to be a landslide. I'm about to break out in song and dance. And I can't sing or dance, but it's happening, people.

Of course, we don't let up, full pedal to the metal, people! Never give them any slack, not one inch. Keep Republicans irrelevant in politics for the next 80 years (when people who were seeing this are all gone, their kids, grandkids are gone).

[Persondem]

42. It's been a while, but I remember a poll done on voters who made their decision in the last days

of the 2016 election. Something like 80% of them broke for The Felon. The Comey letter was the main reason. Hopefully karma will bite him in the balls somehow.

[kentuck]

43. I think almost everyone had made up their minds by the time of Comey's decision.

I don't believe he had a lot to do with the final vote.

[Drummer1]

44. Nonsense - Hillary was leading before Comey did his dirty work

[drmeow]

45. Please die

alone and in pain and then rot in hell for eternity you $hitstain
