Comey and FBI had - NO PROBABLE CAUSE - to search Abedin's computer!!!

44. Welcome to DU, hadEnuf!

I am appalled, too.

There's another way to view this, though. He now has Comey on his hands. And as we've seen, James Comey is a rogue agent. He'll do whatever he thinks keeps his own ass clean.

And Comey's now proven two things:
1) He can't be trusted. He's just as likely to screw over The Donald as he was to screw over Hillary. He's a true wild card. ABSOLUTELY rogue. If its his ass or trump's, guess who wins?
2) He's a shitty manager who can't control his people. He stepped into this mess because he was afraid that other rogue agents in the FBI's New York field office, who were rabid Hillary haters and believed everything in those shit-works filled with lies and smears about Hillary individually and both Hillary and Bill, would leak the details. "Clinton Cash" I believe is the book they regarded as their "other Bible." They were ready to leak this behind Comey's back - maybe they even threatened it - because they hated her that much. And Comey knew it. So it shows these rogues are A) in business for themselves; and B) can't be controlled by the guy who's supposedly their boss.

I doubt trump has even thought that far, nor have any of his underlings who are still drunk with their newfound power and arrogance. They probably assume Comey's their boy. I seriously doubt it. Comey's got his own agenda - one that puts James Comey FIRST. Comey's working for himself.

Insubordination is an ICKY thing to have to deal with as a manager. I know from personal experience, when I had my own rogue agent in my newsroom. She was brand new to the market, thought she knew everything even though she was brand new to the business, and hellbent on getting me removed because she wanted my job (my morning-drive on-air job, not the department head job that came with it - that was dreary as hell). She was also extremely pretty and knew how to make the most of it, and directed all of that toward the program director - who could decide my fate and anybody else's on the air. I decided my best (likely only) option was to get out of range. To jump ship before I was pushed. So I found another gig at a competing station, where the ratings grew after my arrival there.

I doubt The Donald will go to that length to get out of whatever hot seat in which his recklessness and lack of impulse control will plop him. But it will likely come. And Comey won't be a reliable ally or cover. Comey isn't looking out for anybody else's ass but his own.
