28. He wouldn't have been sucking up to those that would be in power.

No one, even Trump, thought Trump would win.

Altho he probably cost her some votes, the polls (12 out of 13) still showed right before the election that Hillary would win. Almost every single poll.

Who knows why Comey did either of those press conferences. But I've seen he's not adept at political wrangling. He got carried away or concerned he'd be blamed for something. Whatever it was, it was wrong, and the FBI says it was insubordination.

He's a straight arrow, dork kinda guy. He's not good at politics. He made a big mistake. I haven't seen anything to indicate that he had an ulterior motive. He screwed up big time.

He's not the cause of all the problems or Trump getting elected. I'm convinced of it. It was Russia. Russia used social media, and so did the Trump team, AND I'm convinced Russia manipulated the voting systems in several key districts in just 2 maybe 3 states. That's all it took.
