      Well, you're misportraying what actually happened. I'm more fact-checking you than telling you what you're concerned about. Perhaps you're concerned bc you misunderstand dates? Or love foreign spies? I don't know why you're concerned.

      I’m fascinated with how sure you are that you’re correct. What will you do if you’re not? Because the facts aren’t actually known yet. Will you still stubbornly insist you’re right?

      Ok. I’ve reflected. Now, to me it’s quite clear that the IC, the FBI and the Justice department were weaponized against Trump for political reasons. There’s as much evidence of that as there is that it started before that. I’d like to know the truth. Wouldn’t you?

      You're suggesting the FBI that 1) made comments about Hillary of the type specifically prohibited on July 5 2) sent another letter of the type prohibited on October 27 BECAUSE so many Agents were already leaking was weaponized against TRUMP? Are you sure?

      What are you talking about with “comments specifically prohibited”?

      Replying to @Kronykal

      DOJ generally does not permit comments about people who've not been charged, and it generally does not permit comments abt investigations in lead up to those investigations. Both happened w/Hillary.

      Comey isn’t in prison, so while it may be frowned upon it’s clearly not illegal, right?

      Neither is approving a FISA application because you invested too much faith in the past track record of a private intelligence consultant.

      And, in case you forget, the cover story for why Comey was fired was precisely those statements. So either obstruction or Comey was punished for them.

          He should have been fired. No doubt about it.

          Lol. No. I’m saying she should be in prison right now. Some people in high places let her go. That’s the exact opposite of weaponizing.

          The Republican FBI agents who said she shouldn't be charged were wrong? Do you think Petraeus should be in prison?

          Yes. I believe they were absolutely wrong. And no. Paula Broadwell had a clearance. The SCI issue was bad but not nearly as bad as Clinton’s bathroom server.

          Do you know where Petraeus kept his book with code word information and multiple covert people's IDs, when he wasn't sharing it with someone who didn't have the need to know, much less the compartments to get it?

          And if you're not a lawyer why are you certain the GOP FBI agents who decided Hillary couldn't be charged were wrong?

          Because Comey laid everything out. Multiple actual lawyers agreed it was ridiculous they weren’t charging her. You’re certainly aware of that...

          Funny thing is Trump squandered a perfectly good excuse to fire Comey. Comey's refusal to compel production of the hacked DNC server remains inexplicable. Comey himself admitted it was a deviation from investigative best practices. Shoulda fired him for THAT.
