I feel bad for James Comey

It's become increasingly clear that has James Comey lost his way. Moreover, he is now working overtime to help prove the allegations that he was not just an impartial FBI director looking to run an objective investigation into the President, but that he was clearly biased and driven by a strong dislike for the man who was elected to be his boss.

He recently provided "his opinion" as to what he would ask Robert Mueller if "he" was given five minutes. The entire tone of his questions read like someone who is sorely disappointed that the actual facts presented by Mueller were not written out by Mueller as if they were something actually criminal. Ironically, most of the criticism regarding Mueller's report is exactly the opposite. Many long term prosecutors and attorneys feel that the Mueller report is already sensationalising actions that were not illegal in any way, in order to give an underlying opinion of wrongdoing. 

In fact, I am not 100% sure that Comey is not so far gone that he might believe that these actions were actually criminal, proving that Comey is not only biased and driven by a strong dislike of Trump, but that his TDS has possibly clouded his actual cognitive thinking. A man so full of hatred and anger, that he can no longer distinguish between legal fact, and political nonsense. 

Mueller found no evidence of conspiracy between the Trump campaign and the Russians who allegedly worked to disrupt and interfere with our 2016 election. His report is quite clear on this as that basic fundamental truth is repeated in two different areas (the summary and the charging report). Because Mueller found no evidence of conspiracy, there is simply no way to write a report that can possibly suggest he did.

But if we wade into a couple of Comey's points, I think his TDS will become self-evident. One I find particularly interesting is:

“Did you find that the Trump foreign policy adviser said the Trump campaign had received indications from the Russian government that it could assist the campaign through the anonymous release of information damaging to candidate Clinton?”

Now, let's be clear here. This question refers to George Papadopoulos talking in a bar with a Maltese Professor named Joseph Mifsud who lives in London. Neither Comey and his FBI investigation or Mueller and his Special Counsel investigation has come up with any evidence that Papadopoulos received anything of "actual" substance from the Professor, because neither came up with any evidence that Milsud actually had any actual information. Neither the FBI or SC has provided us with any evidence of Milsud's alleged involvement with the Russian Government, much less any evidence that he had anything to do with the GRU (who allegedly hacked the emails).

Papadopoulos was thoroughly investigated. He was questioned multiple times. He was not charged with anything associated with being an agent, aiding and abetting, or any sort of conspiracy. The former FBI director coming out and demanding that Papadopoulos still should be seen as committing a crime (when he was never charged) runs afoul to absolutely every standard our law enforcement stands for.

Why is a former FBI director who would like to be seen as some sort of righteous person out there making allegations that an innocent American is guilty of treason, even as that person was investigated and found not to be? Not because he has anything against Papadopoulos, but because by accusing Papadopoulos he accuses Trump (who is obviously hates with the fiery white-hot passion of a 1000 burning suns).

Or how about this one:

“Did you find that senior members of the Trump campaign met with Russian representatives at Trump Tower after being told in an email that the meeting was part of Russia and its government’s support for Mr. Trump?”

Yes, the Trump Tower meeting. Once again, this meeting was not with any sort of representative of the Russian Government, but it was a meeting with an attorney/lobbyist. Neither Comey and the FBI or Mueller and his Special Counsel was able to actually tie this attorney to anyone in the Russian Government, much less anyone associated with the GRU. The fact that Comey is still wanting to pretty much flat out lie about this, tells us everything we need to know about the man.

Moreover, the information was was supposed to provide was in regards to Clinton supposedly channeling Russian money into her campaign. It didn't even have anything to do with anything that the Russians allegedly did to help Trump. So it quite literally had nothing to do with the so called conspiracy being investigated and is no more relevant to that investigation than anyone else they spoke to that day.

Either way, neither the FBI or the Special Counsel found anything within their investigation that could possibly lead to any charges against anyone. We are right back to James Comey openly wanting to accuse people of committing the very crimes that they were investigated and not charged for. Again, something that no FBI director in history would have ever thought to have ever done under any circumstance.

Let's be clear here folks. When the best James Comey can do here is try to realledge that there was something criminal about the George Papadopoulos contacts or the Trump Tower meeting, when five separate investigations have already cleared everyone associated, then James Comey cannot be taken seriously anymore. What could happen (and possibly should happen) is that James Comey could be sued (or charged) with defamation (libel/slander) for accusing innocent people of crimes, when investigations have cleared them of such crimes. We already know that he knows he is in every violation of FBI protocol, which he probably is still required to follow as a former FBI director. He is fully aware that his actions are wrong, and yet cannot help himself.

Truly sad...
