So What Does Comey Get Out Of This

[Me.]

His job is secure for several years, so how does he benefit by this betrayal of both his job and country? Any guesses?

1. $$$$$$$

maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon and for the rest of his life.

[MANative]

7. Yup n/t

[yallerdawg]

2. He can be terminated 'at will' by any president.

I'd say his job is NOW secure.

3. Comey should have been dismissed/fired the day after the election by President Obama

and the POTUS has the authority to do exactly that, just as Bill Clinton did when he dismissed/fired FBI Director William Sessions.

5. He Should've Been Fired

The minute after that second letter was released

[unblock]

11. he certainly deserves firing, though that would merely let trump appoint someone worse

and for a longer remaining term.

4. He'll get his

name on a building like a former(J. Edgar Hoover) director.

6. A summer home in Russia. nt

8. Jim: Was it a live boy or a dead girl?

[shraby]

9. I was just reading on wikipedia about Robert Hanssen- a spy for Russia who got caught

and received several life sentences. When asked why he did it, he said just for the money.
That could be Comey's reason. I would guess McConnell did it for power as did trump.

We need an independent investigation with NO members of congress on it and in a very public venue. The news media needs to cover live every question and answer. This should happen asap.

Only then will the voters understand what went down.

10. Purely Conjecturally

And quite within the bounds of CT, I have always had questions about McConnell. As you know he’s married to Elaine Chao, but did you know her family is very close, too close if you ask me, to the leaders in China? My feeling is that the only loyalty he has is to himself.
