Don't understand this opinion at all ~ sorry ~
Comey is an Ex-Public Servant, he is selling a book, his opinions are NOW as a Private Citizen.
Of course he can have an opinion.

You have - you've just expressed it

Either way, the electorate will decide.

Comey comes from experience, service and knowledge of the Law in the US. He's served at the highest level.

We can all allow for the influence of ego/bitterness in his "opinions"
~ I mean most of us have a brain

I think your association of his comments and the electorate are a bit...
~ well, mmmmm

Trump is going to have to take a page from the Russian's playbook if he doesn't want his enemies to speak ill of him. Too bad for Trump that life isn't his Apprentice show where he can just kick people off it and only Trump gets the last word.

Perhaps it's just me, but Comey's comments about Trump in his TV interviews all started to sound a tad petty.

I agree, I've only seen the divided-up TV segments, but yes, I don't like 6' 8" Comey...at all.... I fear he sees a future for himself, and that may seduce him from reality a bit

Still, from my point of view, the more shite exposed...the better chance for an open government eventually.

Before I go.....

To conclude, we have Sean Hannity pushing Kremlin-scripted disinformation.



We have his clandestine contacts with WikiLeaks, a known front for Russian intelligence.



Now we have his consulting with a dubious attorney he shares with the president, whose Moscow links are the subject of intense investigation.



In the memorable phrase of that wartime spymaster turned novelist Ian Fleming,



“Once is happenstance.


Twice is coincidence.


The third time it’s enemy action.”

I've heard that a lot. I for one disagree. He was viciously attacked with personal insults by someone hiding behind a podium with the presidential seal on it. It's a tad moralistic to suggest that in given back exactly what he received, Comey was being petty. Mr T has sowed the wind and shall it is to be hoped, reap the whirlwind.

He appears to be more of a crusader than a public servant. Then again, dealing with the likes our Congress folk, the Clintons, Bushes, Cheneys, Obama administration, and finally Mr Trump would likely push any of us over the edge.

From the NY Times yesterday: https://nyti.ms/2J9bvjN

In a rather stunning reversal of fortunes, AMI, the parent company of The National Enquirer has basically ripped up their contract with Karen McDougal. She now can discuss the "alleged affair" with whomever she wants, and gets to keep the money paid by AMI. They also agree to feature her on the cover of several fitness magazines published by AMI.

Just a week ago, AMI was in full "lawyer mode" filing motions to dismiss and attacking her in press releases. What happened?

I can only guess that there's stuff that was seized in the raid on Michael Cohen's office that would look very bad for them in Court. And maybe even worse for Trump, because this is a complete cave-in by AMI, a company known for aggressive litigation tactics.
