(562 posts)Comey seemed to drag the investigation out, didn't admit one existed until well after inauguration (unlike reopening Clinton's), tried to "manage" Trump rather than tell him to butt out. He only consolidated the NY FBI and Wa. investigating branches to Wa. 8 months into it.
He wasn't even investigating obstruction, and he's the key witness. He only brought it up AFTER he was fired, making him part of the cover up. I seriously doubt he would have disclosed that if he stayed FBI head.
He was talking about the investigation lasting years. Trump could have survived for years if he was more strategic and politically sophisticated.
His firing is what caused Rosenstein to appoint a special prosecutor.
True, Mueller's role is different, but I don't think that has much bearing on the dramatic increase in Meuller's pace. How refreshing to see someone in government doing the fuck they're supposed to be doing.
He's only been in two weeks and already subpoenaening NSA heads for obstruction charges against the President, i.e., no hesitation or fear, and no intent to "manage" Trump or ease up because he's "new".
