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

    Thanks to silly people on Twitter I'm reminded that just one Senator voted against Jim Comey as FBI Director: Rand Paul.

        Paul voted against Comey because he was uncomfortable with FBI's use of drones for surveillance in the US. He was mocked for that.

        (They're sorry, Senator Paul. Though they won't admit that.)

        Wyden and Merkley voted present because of concerns that Comey wouldn't answer when he would spy on Americans w/o warrants.

        Other than those three, current most reviled man in DC pretty much given a pass on confirmation, even tho he had approved of torture in 2005

        Some people on the Twitters seem to forget who was in charge of Senate when the guy who allegedly just elected Trump confirmed: the Dems.

        Undoubtedly an 11-dimensional chess plot to ensure his legacy would be dismantled in weeks. Genius!

        Yup. I still can't believe how easy Comey's confirmation was.

        I'm sure his dad, the only Republican to vote against the Patriot Act was proud that day (too bad Rand sold out on other stuff)

        Comey's good man. Tragedy he played role in elexn. Firing him is bad - if FBI findsTrump/RU connex, he'll pursue it

        Buddhism: excellent mental bulwark against people like Trump (active evil). Comey? Not so much: so many Comeys everywhere.

        But, but how were they to know that Comey was just deep cover for Putin. Just flatten the 'o' in his name and what do you have?
