Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

      I tried to tell people to be a lot more critical of Comey in his 2013 confirmation process. Did anyone listen????

      It seems, reading a lot of different things, that Comey had NO good path, what with the people within the IC acting out and with the information in hand.

      One path was to crack down on FBI leaking in 2013.

      OK. Yes.. but it turns out... leakers gonna leak. Usually. I'm not about to argue with you. I willingly concede your qualifications. :D

      Not really trying to argue. It just always seemed that Comey spent all this time defending FBI reputation but never did the things that might involve black eyes in process of correction.

          I was painting walls when he testified to Congress and I thought.. he's going to take these evil bastards down... <sigh> Not quite Superman.. or even Clark Kent it turns out.

          And every time he says he was protecting the FBI's reputation, I read it as "protect my own reputation." Threadlet:https://twitter.com/msbellows/status/1007299020060913664 …

          Missing nuance: 1) Since he was sure HRC would win anyway, Comey thought he'd have more credibility going forward if he negged her before the election, even if that broke protocol. 2) WHY did he want credibility? Bec. he planned on making his name by going after HRC post-Nov. ... https://twitter.com/AP_Politics/status/1007294695062540288 …
