In reply to the discussion: Bad intel from Russia influenced Comey's Clinton announcement: report [View all]MousePlayingDaffodil
(748 posts)39. This seems consistent with the (admittedly speculative) premise . . .
. . . that Comey was duped by certain of his own people, who -- under this theory -- vouched for the authenticity of the information even though they knew it to be "dis"-information or, at best, had no good reason to think it legitimate.
Under this theory, Comey was neither overtly anti-Clinton or supportive of Trump. Rather, he was a gullible fool who was more concerned about his own reputation for "rectitude."

Hope Comey never forgets they set him up to be the patsy from the very beginning.

Exactly. Even if it HAD been true, that would have been an indictment of Lynch, not Clinton.
