If Comey did as Feinstein suggested he would have been fired immediately. jg10003 Jun 2017 #13

That's what I think. And we'd be worse off if Comey didn't have time pnwmom Jun 2017 #14

Yeah but fuck Comey anyway Bucky Jun 2017 #22

Well done, pnwmom Hekate Jun 2017 #15

Two things are at work here...first of all...it is the president. Demsrule86 Jun 2017 #25

He knew he would've been summarily fired. Dump was dangling his job in front of him Madam45for2923 Jun 2017 #26

I think he made the wrong call then, but not out of animosity. pnwmom Jun 2017 #33

Comey is a conservative. athena Jun 2017 #37
