Looks like my original theory on James Comey is true. [View all]

James Comey was simply trying to cover his behind. He had to go public because it looks like the original GOP plan was for rogue FBI NY agents to leak this information to the public and say this is proof that Comey was hiding information for Hillary.

Some good positives about this is Hillary and Obama didn't take the bait. Had either of them reacted it would've made everything worst. I'm glad all of this is over now. But the damage is already done.
