14. Wrong, false equivalence

Fri Apr 13, 2018, 04:11 PM

Apr 2018

Comey explicitly and publicly harmed HRC to cover his own ass with the monsters on the right because he knew them personally and what they were capable of.

Obama stayed out the public fight because the FBI did not give him the complete picture until after the election. He stayed in his lane, Comey did not.

Never, ever compare Obama to anyone associated with the GOP
