The only way that I have been able to justify what comey did is as follows.

He sent the letter to congress because it looked better than having it leaked by rogue agents. He didn't hold a presser to to divulge it to everyone. Congressrat ChaffedNutz did that particular dirty deed.

Comey got the info out that HRC was clear of wrongdoing BEFORE the actual election. He certainly could have let the cloud hang past nov. 8.

He didn't disclose the turd Trump investigation because that is how he is supposed to do it, so I want to believe that he sent the letter to congress in an attempt to keep the leak from coming out and undermining his authority. Had comey allowed the leak to hit the news and HRC went on to win, there would have been RWNJs screaming that comey covered for HRC "again." If it leaked and HRC still lost, comey looks like he is comprised and all the info we are getting now on trump would have been comey lies according to RWers. I dunno but I swear that is the most logical assement from my feeble mind. Thanks for reading my thoughts. I could be wrong but I hope Comey is on our side.

And then his big smile when Trump kissed him. tblue37 Mar 2017 #10
If you follow your reasoning, Comey tipped the scale in favour of a man to win who he was already OnDoutside Mar 2017 #14
That's exactly right. Comey showed himself to be just another partisan hack repug brush Mar 2017 #22
