(130 posts)But its also karma. I will never forgive Comey for costing Hillary the Presidency and saddling us with Donald Trump. He is single-handedly responsible for Trump and this county burning. I dont want to see Trump and Bondi win, but I couldnt give a rats ass about Comey.

(170,353 posts)I was training some attorneys who were going to do voter protection at a downtown law firm when the first letter came out. One of my firm's associates was taking this course and was making a funny face during my class. Later I was shocked to hear what Comey did in that it was a DOJ cardinal rule that you take no steps close to an election.

I stand with Comey in this matter but I still have very strong feelings about this idiot.
