32. "No reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case."

Those are Comey's words. Your assertion that an objective person could "easily make the case the other way" doesn't stand up to scrutiny.

Comey knew there was no case, so he tried to trick Clinton into incriminating herself during the interview. When that didn't work, he broke protocol and made his very damaging statement to the press. If Republicans had not overplayed their hand by calling him in for testimony, we wouldn't have known the extent to which he had manipulated the situation.

Your claim that Comey did Clinton a favor is at odds with the facts. He went out of his way to damage the subject of an investigation who had been exonerated by the facts.

Neither a Clinton supporter nor an objective person could "make the case the other way." Only an opponent would try, and it wouldn't be easy.

Your assertion that Clinton should send him whiskey and a masseuse is frankly disgusting. Comey owed her a fair investigation and a brief statement that no charges would be brought. Instead, Comey slandered her with misleading innuendo. And you want her to thank him like some grateful little lady who should know her place.
