Any of the investigators who really care about America will start leaking full storm. They have to. American democracy is on the chopping block and the Republican thugs are bringing the fascist axe down with brutality on all that is decent and worthwhile about our nation

This is more karma floating around Washington. Yeah, he carried water for the Republicans and got burned for it.
And we have ANOTHER issue to run on in 2018!

But despite how Comey handled the Clinton email matter, he is generally well-respected in that community and a lot of those folk aren't going to like this at all.
