I missed your earlier warnings but had my doubts because all the hype about Comey ” being a straight shooter”, “man of integrity”, etc because it reminded me of the same hype about Lance Ito before the OJ trial began. And we know Ito did not live up to the hype, neither did Comey. I knew he would turn out to be the opposite of what they claimed him to be, another Judge Ito buffoon sans the black robe.

Yup… evil rises to the top like cream.

And no surprise, the wicked look out for each other.

James Comey is the living embodiment of the famous Talmudic maxim, “he who is cruel to the merciful, is merciful to the cruel.”

Exactly the career Comey has exemplified. Protecting America, securing justice and upholding the rule of law isn’t his nor his bureau’s priority.

That’s why it went all down as expected with Hillary Clinton being found in the clear.

NormanF on July 6, 2016 at 6:41 pm

James Comey is a pure hack who takes orders from his superiors. There is no independence or integrity to the man. If the United States were invaded, Mr. Comey would be one of those first in line to collaborate. He would be like one of those Poles who was more than happy to sell out their own country to the Third Reich and work in “Death Camps”. Mr. Comey is a bureaucrat who takes orders.

It is now clear that we have an entirely corrupt Department of Justice and FBI.

Well, look at our new (and some not so new) friends in Cuba, Iran, Venezuela, China, the PLO, etc. etc. In this kind of environment with the lowering of moral standards which accompany this decline in diplomacy, it is not surprising that there will be a concurrent lowering of legal and moral standards in this country’s judicial proceedings.

The disregarding of law regarding illegal aliens, racial profiling, which gives license to more and more criminal activities, the criminal actions on the campuses, the tying of the hands of the police, it is all part and parcel of the same thing. This is the context of Hillary’s victory.

Little Al on July 6, 2016 at 8:34 pm

This was James Comey’s chance to show that he was more than a political hack who did the bidding of those who appointed him. He epically failed to do that. Even though there was clear evidence of wrongdoing on the part of Hillary Clinton and her associates, Comey declined to recommend any charges. His fifteen minute presentation came across as irrational, due to its conclusion.

James Comey has no reputation now.

Worry on July 6, 2016 at 9:56 pm

James Comey doesn’t need a reputation, he’s in with the right “family,” and that’s all that matters.

For the record, despite what Rush may have said here and there about Comey being a straight shooter, he has ALWAYS said, emphatically, that nothing was going to happen to Hitlary, . . .

NOTHING.

AfPR: I have to disagree on one thing. Rush has gone back and forth on whether he thought Hillary would be indicted. As of late, he said no, but in the past (such as last fall and last summer), he said the opposite. I never thought she would be indicted, and I’ve been proven right. The fix is in for the Clintonistas. DS

Anyone with at least half a brain and a modicum of understanding of politics knew right from the start how this was going to play out. As usual, Debbie is the perfect antidote to the mainstream media bullshitry — and with my deepest apologies to our bovine friends.

And Debbie’s right that there are quite a few self-advertised “conservatives” who have spoken of Comey with such words as “straight shooter,” an “ethical man,” a man of “great integrity,” and “beyond reproach.” Cut me a break! On what conceivable basis did these “pundits” reach that absurd conclusion: because he once worked in the Bush administration? I can’t tell if the people pushing this line about Comey are dupes, dopes, or duplicitous, but that doesn’t really matter in the end. Comey was and is a fraud, and he always will be.

There was a time in America’s history when if something like the Clinton email scandal were exposed, that politician’s career would be over. Caput! But no more. Sure a candidate can get zapped for getting caught in some salacious affair. That kind of thing still carries a little weight — though less and less with the passing years. But out and out corruption, threats to national security, and law-breaking. That’s hardly worth batting an eye over after the weekends’ news is done.

So today, I can confidently predict that Clinton’s email scandal result will result in only a modest pullback in her poll numbers. And, with the help of the mainstream media and here billionaire and millionaire donors, all will be forgotten and forgiven within a week or two. That is the inevitable result of a totally dumbed down and morally and ethically bankrupt society.

Face it folks, we are an endangered species.

Ralph Adamo on July 7, 2016 at 1:35 am

Great article that tells it like it is. I cannot imagine a more contemptible human being to run the FBI than James Comey. He won his current job precisely because he is an advocate of Diversity and Inclusion. And we’re all less safe as a result.

Primetime on July 7, 2016 at 7:52 am

Unless I’m mistaken, it was also Comey’s FBI that decided not to pursue charges against Lous Lerner or anyone else connected to the IRS scandal.

Raymond in DC on July 7, 2016 at 10:40 am

Again we see America has two sets of laws. One for the little People and one for the rich, famous or well connected. As described in an article in today’s NY Post. People were prosecuted even without intent and the statute regarding Hillary did not require it.

One example was a snow mobile driver lost in a blizzard. He went through a federal preserve accidental and was convicted of a misdemeanor. No right headed American can have any faith in the justice system of this country.

Glen Benjamin on July 7, 2016 at 11:47 am

I read most of my morning news feed and this whole affair is utterly despicable but not surprising. Those of us who follow politics and aren’t Kool-Aid drinking Obama-bots knew all along that the PIAPS would skate out of this better that Wayne Gretzky. Killary has been getting away with murder (literally) for years and people actually thought that little things like national security, accountability in government service and upholding the law would get in her way. No way no how. It was funny however to hear several “conservative” talk show host like Limbaugh and Wilkow (Vanity strangely was on vacation yesterday)sound disappointed in that hack Comey. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Debbie I thank you for this site because you hipped us to what a useless piece of dog squeeze Comey was years ago. The man (and I use that term as loosely as a democrats morals)had no integrity and honor then and he has none now. Yip, zero, nada, none. Just like his boss the Black PIAPS Low-rental Lynchmob. She expects us to believe that she and the BJ WC Fields lookalike just talked about grandchildren and Hillary’s granny panties. Even Trump saw through that and called it for what it was. Pure and utter BS. All Comey did was set the butcher of Benghazi loose to further campaign for her coveted seat on the Oval Office toilet. As far as I’m concerned she belongs in that toilet along with Lynch Obama and Comey. I keep telling certain people that if I did at least one iota of what Billary did I’d be next to Robert Hanssen in the Colorado Super Max. But I guess the “straight shooter” Comey thought that the Hillbag was too big to fail. Either way the FBI will continue be the butt of not only movie and TV jokes but real live ones. Federal Bureau of Intent indeed.

Ken B on July 7, 2016 at 12:05 pm

Superb work, Debbie. I’ve been thinking for a while now that NONE of the so-called political blogs are worth reading.

skzion on July 7, 2016 at 12:45 pm

Great post Debbie.

The infection goes very deep.

The Obama government/crony freight train and his Goebbels like press are above the law. By not fighting for 8 years with Obama even the useless R party thinks it is also above the law.

Obama must have some serious dirt on many R part leaders to keep them at bay. Perhaps many of them spent some time with BJ Clinton on Epstein’s pleasure island.

And Mitch McConnell claims he does not have enough votes.

Panhandle on July 7, 2016 at 2:08 pm

As noted elsewhere, Comey’s decision not to pursue Hillary or her associates for such violations sets up a huge precedent that will be used by others. It seems that short of espionage, you can mishandle government emails, etc. If that is not the case, you are setting up a horrific double standard.

Worry on July 7, 2016 at 6:38 pm

Comey should have just come out and told the public that he was informed by the ruling elite that if he recommended that Hillary be prosecuted then either his career would quickly end or he might join the long list of people who the Clinton’s have had murdered. And Lynch announcing that she would abide by the FBIs recommendation was simply her escaping from any accountability. The decision to weight the evidence and decide if prosecution was appropriate was hers to make. The FBI is a police force, they gather evidence and provide it to the appropriate attorneys, the police don’t prosecute.

It’s ridiculous to describe Hillary’s actions as carless or incompetent. Her actions were a willful violation of some very serious laws in place to protect national security.

Richard on July 7, 2016 at 7:14 pm

The beat goes on…

JeffT on July 7, 2016 at 7:24 pm

That Jim Comey was a fraud was obvious from how he let Scooter Libby stew, even after it was found out that it was Richard Armitage, rather than him, who blew Valerie Plame’s cover.

I ever got how he was deemed fair. The Dems had a good reason for supporting him and re-appointing him. There was no justification for Republicans to praise him at all.

Infidel on July 7, 2016 at 8:40 pm

TV this evening (7/7) has been full of coverage about Comey’s testimony in front of Congress.

Unfortunately, though, Congress, including the Republicans has been complicit in getting Hillary off the hook. All the hullabaloo about Comey. What about Lynch? Why hasn’t she been asked to testify in front of Congress?

Is it because they know that Comey, for all his faults, can handle himself in a competent manner, while Lynch, in all likelihood would fall apart under serious questioning?

After all, the Republicrats do not want anyone to call them racist, and do not want to do too much to jeopardize Hillary’s candidacy, so apparently our affirmative action Attorney General is getting a pass.

Little Al on July 7, 2016 at 8:58 pm

I suspect that the Bill Clinton / Jeffrey Epstein clan have incriminating film of Comey. That is how the FBI has worked from the beginning. J. Edgar Hoover dressed in women’s clothes and had sex with men. Hoover was kept as director of the FBI (and enjoyed a great reputation) because the real rulers could control him, and make him dance to their tune.

TME on July 7, 2016 at 9:28 pm

TME on July 7, 2016 at 9:28 pm

True that. A majority of elected and appointed leaders are just puppets of the system. They dance when they’re told to.
And usually, they have no problem with that as long as they get their share of the limelight and a piece of the pie.
They play the part they’re told to until it’s time for the unveiling, like the 5’th column muslims.
Playing the minority/sex/race card is their ultimate weapon.
Let’s face it, when you think about it, Obama is just a white liberal in black-face.
