Just as Colin Powell single handedly swung the people into backing the Iraq war, Comey swung the people singlehandedly into voting against Hillary.

He, all alone, gave the fence sitters a "reason" to fall off the fence and vote for Trump.........

Powell wanted soooo much to be a member of the Rich White Boys club he was willing to stand up there and LIE to the American public to get into the good graces of the Rich White Boy's club. Of all people, he should have known they would kick him to the curb the second they got their way. (which they did). Same for Comey..........

People have such short memories......It was Colin Powell who led the massive coverup of the Mai Lai (sp) massacre..........
I tend to feel the same way about Mueller. He could have done a much better job of going after Trump and taking him down, but his will to do that was somewhat diluted by his being a lifetime Republican, and not wanting to bring down the entire republican party along with Trump, which would have happened..........
