One of Comey's mistakes was saying 'thousands of classified emails.' That was not true, a small percentage was actually classified, I believe they said a few hundred. Still a bad thing but NOT 600,000.I think Comey had a deep sense of conscience that Ms. Clinton had acted stupidly and possibly illegally. When he started the investigation he did not know if it would be concluded before the election. Then he hears that Bill Clinton suborned Loretta Lynch to quash the investigation. So, he went public. He then felt bad about influencing the election, so he bent over backward to usurp the authority of the D.O.J. in declaring that Ms. Clinton acted stupidly, but did not have criminal intent. Then he discovered that 600,000 more classified documents were on Hula Abduallah's Iphone, which did double-duty as Anthony Weiner's smut hub for broadcasting images of his gonads around the world.
Comey got freaked out by data overload.
Once again, Clinton's instincts for subverting the law drove the final nail into their coffins.
Thanks Eags. You are correct sir.I believe the word you were looking for was "patent", but yes, you should have.
Can you imagine the uproar that would have caused if Obama fired him while he was investigation Clinton? Oh wait Trumps just fired him while he was investigating Trump, and/or his people. I heard this evening they have 30 sources that say Trump was 'white hot' because Comey wouldn't shut down the Russian investigation and instead had just asked for more resources for it.Obama should have fired him 10 months ago
3r you know that is all fake newsCan you imagine the uproar that would have caused if Obama fired him while he was investigation Clinton?

Yeah those pesky fake news thangs about Trump's business dealings in Russia surely won't come back to bite him.3r you know that is all fake news
I guess you missed the grand jury subpoenas for Michael Flynn's associates.Because? Everyone thought Comey should be fired, even Hillary!
Form all the committees you want. If there was anything to find, it would have been found by now.
How many poor Yale educated lawyers do you know?All of them are lawyers.
Poor Lawyers that got rich as a public servant. A lifetime of leeching.
I don't disagree it would have looked bad.Can you imagine the uproar that would have caused if Obama fired him while he was investigation Clinton?

I don't think they would have loved it but that's not the standard for comparison I was using. At least then it would have felt more like a reflection of his general opinion of Comey in light of the preceding six months..
Yeah, the libs would have loved that move.
It doesn't matter what Trump does (including firing the guy that cost Hillary the election according to libs everywhere), he will always be labeled a monster by the libs and the media (why did I separate them?)
Eh that assumes this is why he was actually fired which seems disconnected from most of the reporting out there, which is that trump personally wanted comey to do his bidding on a number of topics. That seems more aligned with trump's personality as well.One of Comey's mistakes was saying 'thousands of classified emails.'

It took 2+ years between watergate and Nixon resigning.
Do you really believe there's anything to investigate? After eight months, all that's been uncovered is that Micheal Flynn had some business deals in Russia that he didn't fully disclose. Those are slim picken's for eight months of whoopin' it up with allegations of some sort of nefarious collusion between Trump and Putin. Furthermore it's wearing thin. Nobody other than the Democrat lunatic fringe believes that Putin and Trump have done any sort of secret deal.Yeah those pesky fake news thangs about Trump's business dealings in Russia surely won't come back to bite him.
Sounds to me like some folks inside the WH are rolling over on him. Who else would know he was so mad about Comey not shutting down the investigation?
You sound like somebody from Ms. Clinton's campaign.Yeah those pesky fake news thangs about Trump's business dealings in Russia surely won't come back to bite him.

Democrats keep asking for a special prosecutor and there should be one, but to investigate Hillary's emails and Foundation.One of Comey's mistakes was saying 'thousands of classified emails.'

Subpoenas are an indication that there's not nothing there.Subpoenas are proof?
This isn't the 70s.
I in no way believe he was fired for his treatment of Clinton. He was fired for not being 'loyal' enough to Trump to suit Trump. His job is NOT to be loyal to anyone.Eh that assumes this is why he was actually fired which seems disconnected from most of the reporting out there, which is that trump personally wanted comey to do his bidding on a number of topics. That seems more aligned with trump's personality as well.
The wsj, wa post, nyt, and politico reporting aren't really supportive of the idea that last year is why he was fired. The memo was just a paper trail for the files
No that's NOT all has been discovered. He was caught talking about the sanctions on Russia to a Russian. The stuff they CAN'T say in these public hearings is where the nuts and bolts are. This is likely headed for Trump's financial dealing in Russia that he has denied ever having and possibly money laundering through Russian sources.Do you really believe there's anything to investigate?

Of course it's not the 1970s. It's just the most obvious example of investigations taking a long time. This isn't some nickel and dime investigation in Miller. This is going to take a long time even if Trump is guilty.
Subpoenas mean they are trying to find evidence not that they have evidence.
Things happen MUCH faster now.
Keep on believing though. You'll look like a genius when the tents finally fold up and the cameras leave.
Someone 819.2 miles away from St Louis will make that decision, not a MoSports poster.
The Left hates Trump the way we hate Hillary. To think once the investigation is over they'll all be happy and just go away is ridiculous.
If the "entire" Trump Administration were put in jail for 60 years the Democrats would still be disappointed that they weren't given the death penalty.
Was Comey independent and competent?
I'm sorry but I'm having a very cynical day today. Both sides or a complete joke and this country is in serious trouble.
The question is really did he empower competent people.Was Comey independent and competent?
