This James Comey Tweet From The Day Of Kavanaugh’s Testimony Is ENRAGING

RAGE. I feel serious rage. James Comey is a weasel of epic proportions, and I can’t believe he has the gall to continue to run his mouth on matters that don’t concern him. His entire “holier than thou”/”I take the moral high ground” shtick irritates me in every way imaginable.

Because that day was a complete CIRCUS, I didn’t see Comey’s tweet. But today I decided to check out his feed, and I noticed this tweet from the same day as the Kavanaugh hearings. It’s ENRAGING.

Small lies matter, even about yearbooks. From the standard jury instruction: “If a witness is shown knowingly to have testified falsely about any material matter, you have a right to distrust such witness' other testimony and you may reject all the testimony of that witness …”

I had no idea he was running his mouth on Kavanaugh, but now that I know, my feelings toward this man are even MORE hostile than they were before. I didn’t even think that was possible. How DARE he inject himself into this. He’s the KING of lying. He’s the KING of weasels. He needs to STHU.

On top of that, he wrote an op-ed about the FBI’s investigation into Kavanaugh.

We live in a world where the president routinely attacks the F.B.I. because he fears its work. He calls for his enemies to be prosecuted and his friends freed. We also live in a world where a sitting federal judge channels the president by shouting attacks at the Senate committee considering his nomination and demanding to know if a respected senator has ever passed out from drinking. We live in a world where the president is an accused serial abuser of women, who was caught on tape bragging about his ability to assault women and now likens the accusations against his nominee to the many “false” accusations against him.

Most disturbingly, we live in a world where millions of Republicans and their representatives think nearly everything in the previous paragraph is O.K.

In that world, the F.B.I. is now being asked to investigate, on a seven-day clock, sexual assaults that the president says never happened, that some senators have decried as a sham cooked up to derail a Supreme Court nominee, and that other senators believe beyond all doubt were committed by the nominee.

It gets worse. He accused Senate Republicans of not caring about truth.

If truth were the only goal, there would be no clock, and the investigation wouldn’t have been sought after the Senate Judiciary Committee already endorsed the nominee. Instead, it seems that the Republican goal is to be able to say there was an investigation and it didn’t change their view, while the Democrats hope for incriminating evidence to derail the nominee.

There’s more where that came from. You can read it here, if you can stomach it.

What a weasel.
