His actions before the 2016 election are a large part of why this country has had to endure Trump.

(5,545 posts)I believe in calvinistic predetermination. I would much, much rather have seen Comey prosecuted for stirring up the salacious email rumors right before the election. But I would have preferred to see Al Capone imprisoned for murder over tax charges. I guess when your enemies are fighting each other don't try to dictate the rules, just be satisfied they are fighting each other.
We've got much bigger issues, and actually protecting Comey from retribution is the way to go. Constitution and the rule of law, period.
Also, his entire career is not summed up in the decisions he took on the investigation of Hillary Clinton. I believe he did the wrong thing in speaking of Clinton as he did, but there were many reasons for the result in 2016, a lot of them to do with the media's decisions on coverage of Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.

Trump and his co-conspirators have used their office for personal and political gain.
Lock them up for the traitors they are.
