I do believe (and will always believe) that James Comey is an honorable man.

He made choices compelled by his own conscience and work ethics, unaffected by politics.

As much as I would have loved to have seen Hillary as president (she is a bright, capable person) she never reached a large part of the public that she needed in order to become president.

Perception was- and still is, that 'Hillary is a snob'.

Unlike her husband (who DOES HAVE the common touch and is able to reach out to ALL Americans despite his personal failing) Hillary is not. When all is said and done, she is intelligent and capable, but also an elitist by pegging a large section of Trump supporters as 'a basket of deplorables'; that did more to anger a vast section of US voters than any actions by Comey.
