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

    Like Ben, my opinion on Comey has not changed. He may be well-meaning but self-righteousness and PR instincts impair his judgment/actions.https://twitter.com/benjaminwittes/status/795369779905392644 …

    Comey may have erred, but he is still a great American and an independent man and mind. I do not renounce him and all his works. So there.

        @benjaminwittes Why give him benefit of doubt? Either incompetent or trying to sabotage election.

        I'm not excusing him. I think this makes his continued tenure unsustainable. But problem was there before @benjaminwittes

        But still benefit of doubt about motives, which are terrible. And clearly he is gone

        Well, hopefully not the POTUS outcome but he may have had an impact on overall margin.

        @benjaminwittes This "independent mind" ignored FBI policy and screwed with the election for no good reason. Not great American.

        "MAY have erred"? If he "erred" he erred in a spectacular history-changing way;"err"' is the proper term? @benjaminwittes @emptywheel @bmaz

        sorry, don't agree. What he did was a purposeful act done without any integrity but with plenty of forethought.

        i think the problem is the internal fighting within the FBI and what that means to our democracy.
