If there was any doubt left in your mind as to whether Comey was a complete and total HACK, rest assured that he’s basically a MUCH taller, SLIGHTLY manlier Rachel Maddow:
“So another day of Hillary Clinton’s emails and the Steele dossier. This while the President … is lying about the FBI, attacking the FBI and attacking the rule of law in this country. How does that make any sense at all?” -Former FBI Director James Comey https://t.co/ADaa3P7fJo pic.twitter.com/ypGdjBj7tX

COMEY blasts House Republicans following his testimony: “Someone has to stand up to the fear of Fox News, fear of their base, fear of mean tweets, stand up for the values of this country & not slink away to retirement. Stand up and speak the truth.” pic.twitter.com/Ngqdgmoqdj

This is downright embarrassing.
But let’s talk about this for a second, shall we?
I stumbled upon this thread… and HOLY MOTHER OF SPINELESS MANLET.
Trey Gowdy asked Comey about his memo regarding a meeting with Reince Preibus on 2/8/17. His answer was fascinating. First, let’s recall memo says Priebus wondered what was up with the bizarre briefing of the pee tape and dossier and how everything was leaking to the press.

I’ll personally note the clumsy briefing of false/silly dossier items had to feel like blackmail to the incoming administration even before it was immediately leaked to compliant media. Anywho, Priebus asks if FBI is leaking and seems to have real concern about it.

So that’s the context for the next line. Which is: “He then asked me if this was a ‘private conversation.’ I replied that it was.” Trey Gowdy asked him about this and Comey’s answer is so slippery and on-its-face ridiculous that it’s really something.

By “really something” she means “a clear indication of just how slimy this man is.”
Here’s the beginning of that exchange (it goes on in this manner for a while, but here’s the gist):
Mr. Gowdy. What did you mean by “it was”?
Mr. Comey. That the two of us were speaking together alone,
that there was nobody else participating in the conversation. pic.twitter.com/ZyX5mUICQm— Mollie (@MZHemingway) December 18, 2018
Comey, who was yesterday pontificating on rule of law, says when he assured Preibus that a conversation he was planning to memorialize for various reasons (including to enable leaking to compliant media) was private, he just meant that the two guys were talking alone in a room.

For such a big guy, he truly is a repulsive little man, isn’t he?
