Former FBI Director James Comey under investigation for post seen as a potential threat to Trump's life

Um, what exactly are they investigating? No one thinks Comey himself will be attempting an assassination

I murdered Hillary’s chances lol

Thanks for the idea Comey. This will be graffitied all over town!

So, if the shell formation had resembled 6-9-4-7, what would have happened? Aside from us all being sick, that is.

This is all his fault.

Good. I hope he rots in jail for what he did to this country.

No one will defend him. He truly in danger, gurl.

[quote]Taylor Budowich, a White House deputy chief of staff, accused Comey of putting out “what can clearly be interpreted as a hit on the sitting president of the United States.”

So?

Like a handful of others, the time for Comey to have made a real difference was in 2016. But he purposely made a public announcement that the FBI had uncovered more Hillary emails and had reopened their investigation, given the intended appearance that there was something criminal coming up. When of course there wasn't. But kept secret the true fact about Trump and Russia.

There are many like R6 who blame Comey for Hilary losing to Drumpf in the 2016 election. But are there any, like me, who believe there was actual election interference and Comey was just used as the fall guy? I truly don't believe what Comey did made any difference. I also believe some corrupt higher-up FBI person strategically, deliberately set the scene for Comey - (and I believe Rudy Gouliani had his hand in it).

However, I cannot explain why Comey wouldn't have brought up the info on Trump/Russia.

I recall someone used to post on DL that claimed info about it and it sounded very plausible.

This is so far fetched it is nothing more than an attempt to make people afraid to criticize Trump.

Trump already had the IRS go after him...

He’s like a bee that you tried to step on but comes chasing after you.

Since when did "86" = "kill"?

^THIS. Last I checked, it’s a term used by fucking restaurant workers for when a menu item is sold out. “86 the beef special!” Meaning cross it off the menu. They are getting both desperate and more aggressive.

Hello, r11. Welcome to the Trump Presidency Reboot.

Payback's a bitch, bitch!

Good. He’s an asshole.

I have seen several posters on Yahoo posting that now, not very smart, Comey can defend himself but if I was a common poster on Yahoo I would not want the FBI coming after me.

You know they have access to all the data, r19. This is where we are.

[QUOTE]This is so far fetched it is nothing more than an attempt to make people afraid to criticize Trump.

I agree, but at least he's a sanctimonious asshole who deserves heat.

Drumpf never took off because it makes no sense. Grow up.

Martha Stewart slammed him in her documentary for what he did to her. He has a history. He likes publicity and to make indictments an event.

Feb 29, 2024:

Donald Trump-devoted Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) on Wednesday was mocked for his gleeful response to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s (R-Ky.) decision to step down as the GOP’s Senate leader in November.

Gaetz boasted on X (formerly Twitter) about having “86’d” former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), outgoing Republican National Committee chair Ronna McDaniel and now McConnell.

R22 - the Drumph moniker makes sense if you know its history, whether you think it makes sense or not. It's awful-sounding and fits in with his ancestors' slimy pasts as draft dodgers and brothel keepers.

[QUOTE]In 2011, the International Business Times repeated an unverified claim that Donald Trump's paternal grandfather Frederick Trump changed his name from Drumpf to Trump, possibly to avoid anti-German sentiment popular at the time.

[quote]Drumpf never took off because it makes no sense. Grow up.

It's my occasional paranoia of google searches, etc, not wanting to be tracked down if it really does come down to us being monitored. I'm not trying to make "Drumpf" happen

85 means get rid of, not kill.

It’s MAGA being stupid again

R25 Thanks for unexpected back-up. Talk about timing!

This is all from the Brett Kavanaugh school of slang definitions.

Lock HIM UP!

I’m torn because I despise Comey. But ordinarily a situation like this, if it were investigated at all, would probably end with a wrist slap if that. Comey’s real problem is whoever is investigating this will appease Trump, not uphold the first amendment. Their ass is on the line as much as Comey’s if they don’t get him indicted.

What's happening with Comey is gonna happen again and again and again. Yes they'll be investigated, (though barely). No charges will be brought.

These are the same tactics they were using that led to the 1st (?) impeachment. (I get so much confused now).

More important is the announcement of an investigation, rather than the investigation itself. To scare others away from speaking out. Intimidation to the nth degree, as much as they can push it.

And along the way, some will probably capitulate out of fear, (are you reading this, MJ?), and offer praise for Dear Leader, as we slowly but surely are stepping into totalitarianism.

It's too late on a Friday night to try any outrage. Tomorrow, when Kern County and others wake up to reality should be the time to guage your personal outrage.

Anonymous shell-formations could really take off now that the president has publicised the hobby. The BBC News page helpfully shows Comey's beach image, for illustrative purposes.

There’s was that one guy who is named after the character in the Mario game. He was on to something.

Meanwhile, as I understand it, Trump (via Doge) fired 30% of CIA agents. These guys assassinate people for a living. Just sayin'

Comey is an attention whore. Look at MEEEEE!

It's actually an admission of what they all means by 8646,

Good. I will never forgive that repug scumbag prick for coming out 11 days before the 2016 election to announce that the FBI plan to reopen the case of Hillary's emails.

You motherfucking cunt! Now you can die in your well deserved grease fire.

I would be soooo pleased if he gets jail or other shit when he was the one largely responsible for his first election.

Karma took awhile - and Comey helped it along - but boy you love it when you see it.

Is it wrong that I giggled like a pre-adolescent girl when I saw this?

[QUOTE]Comer accuses Comey of trying to "jizz up" a coup

Was he doing jizz hands R43?

George Conway: Comer is so fluid with words. 💦

My impression after reading up on all that happened in 2016 is that Comey is stupid, seriously stupid, when he gets out of his narrow lane. Dumb as a slug.

Not that that would stop Trump World from seizing on this and milking it for all it’s worth. But I think it’s extremely likely Comey was clueless about the potential fallout from him posting that image.

Good.

Comey has a right to exercise his freedom of speech. Which he's doing.

However, when retiring from public service, there were many options he could have chosen for his next career. Options other than published author of "fiction", options that wouldn't have opened him to public scrutiny.

I posted earlier. Why is this thread grayed out now?
