FBI Director Comey had a tough decision. Do his job or play along. He chose the right path, to do his job-or so it appears. Thus the right who trashed him this summer put him on the pedestal the left just ripped him off of. I just hope that the truth comes out, almost seventy and still hoping the truth can come out of D.C. Pollyanna to the end.
But, from www.nationalreviewonline.com, Jim Geraghty, today.
You have to have a sense of humor to follow politics.
When Comey does what Democrats want him to do, they praise him as Eliot Ness, King Solomon, Frank Serpico, and Jesus all rolled into one. But the moment he follows procedure and brings up topics the Clinton campaign doesn’t want in the news, he’s Torquemada, Captain Queeg, Javert, and Ahab rolled into one. Look, we get it, Democrats, you have absolute faith in Comey’s judgment as long as he’s ruling in your favor. If you guys were less invested in an emotionally convienient narrative where all wisdom and virtue aligns with your political interests of the moment, you would have praised Comey’s summer decision but not put him up on a pedestal.
Instead, they had to insist that no reasonable person could question his summer decision. I mean, it was just in July that Hillary Clinton’s campaign was telling us how independent, thorough, respected, and honest Comey was.
Throughout his long career in law enforcement, the independence of FBI chief James Comey has rarely been questioned. Comey is a well-respected Republican who served as George W. Bush’s Deputy Attorney General. And when President Obama tapped him to serve as Director of the FBI, he was confirmed by a 93-1 vote.
Donna Brazile — now the Democratic National Committee chair — said that attacking James Comey’s decision was attacking the rule of law itself.
Since Donna Brazile blocked me last night when I pointed out her former words, here’s a screenshot of her Tweet.
