Re: James Comey

7. I agree.

Mr. Comey absolutely did not help us in the 2016 election. Two of his actions were part of a larger series of errors that resulted in damage to Clinton's campaign. My point is that those who blame him, alone, for the loss are incorrect. As Democrats, we need to recognize and learn from the past errors that our party has made, or we will risk repeating them, losing elections, and looking for someone to blame.

Many here may be unaware of some of Comey's history. As Deputy AG, he appointed Patrick Fitzgerald to lead the grand jury investigation of the Plame Scandal. With Robert Mueller, Jack Goldsmith, and Patrick Philbin, he visited AG John Ashcroft in his hospital room, preventing the signing off on unconstitutional powers for the War on Terror. People on this forum respected him back then.

Comey has taken strong stands on important issues. He advocated for public schools to teach about the Shoah, or Holocaust, something that Americans need to fully understand today in America. More, he addressed the violence on the part of white police in black neighborhoods, another issue that I suspect is playing out among non-white communities.
