Certainly the most hypocritical I'd say. This has been interesting, and sad, to watch.
- He said on a BBC interview that he would have "potentially" withheld intelligence from this President b/c he didn't trust him with it, was afraid he may leak it. The guy just wrote a book going off about integrity and the FBI's obligations and higher calling, and he himself has admitted to using a third party to leak information. He doesn't even see the contradiction of lecturing about integrity and then not living up to the duty of the FBI to the Presidency.
- Said in his notes that he told the President he wasn't a "weasel move" guy who leaked things, then LEAKED the notes where he said it. Then wrote a book, and is now on a tour getting rich by talking about private conversations with a President.
- Said outright that he weighed Clinton's chances of winning in his decision to announce they re-opened the investigation into her emails. Said he did it b/c he presumed she'd win, and wanted her to be "legitimate" and that not disclosing the investigation may undermine her, and in the same interviews says the FBI can't make decisions based on politics. This isn't even sane.
It's clear he thinks he's got some corner on the self-righteous market and that he should be making the calls instead of the duly elected representative of The People, and it's also clear he's not alone in his world.
His comments are rife with contradictions and ooze a disdain for Trump and by inference the idea that he was given this authority no matter what people like Comey thought about it.
I've been watchin this guy step on his own statements for more than a week now I guess, and every time I think he's about done he does it again. If this was against Obama the press would have ripped these statements to shreds.
Meanwhile the FBI and DOJ continue to seemingly not report to anyone, as both parties complain that they are sitting on records they wont' turn over to Congress or the Administration.
I keep looking for someone in the DC power elite to notice that their "higher calling" is to answer to THE PEOPLE, and that the way they do that is by complying with the President and Congress. I don't think they get it.
