That's not what he did. At all. There was plenty of evidence on Trump's Russian compromise. No investigation. But reopening a random investigation into emails, which had already been closed...which was something the entire bush administration did, the entire trump admin later did...one week before the election and immediately closing it is fucking bullshit. There was zero point to that other than influencing the election
I'm just pointing out the wording there. I'm not at all saying comey didn't botch it, but on its face we WANT prosecutors to ignore both sides and focus on what the facts.
I was trying to say its a crazy bonkers world when judicial isnt expected to ignore political parties.
Sorry for the confusion, i am not talker good
And, like I just said but you ignored, he did not pay used to both sides. He ignored the one and attacked the other.
Dude, what is it that you arent understanding here.
I quoted and am talking about one specific sentence YOU said. That taken on its own, are mind blowing words, even if only in isolation.
"His crime was resisting political pressure from both sides"
That sentence on its own, taken as is, is bonkers crazy to think that we would ever want judicial to bow to political pressure when it is prosecuting someone.
Normally, that is exactly what we hope happens in a judicial setting, isn't it?
So if we are in a place where YOU claim it was a crime, that is absolutely wild and mind blowing to be experiencing that situation.
Thats it man, thats all im saying.
Im not arguing about what comey actually did or didnt do, im commenting on the situation as YOU presented it.
The part YOU'RE not getting is that you are actively wrong. He bored too political pressure within his own agency to reopen an already closed case. Which directly affected the outcome of the election.
You keep trying to pretend he did this for apolitical reasons, but that is false. This is the prosecutor, that after failing to convict for insider trading the first female billionaire, made up some idiotic charges to get her anyway on "obstruction" of the non crime... Years later kneecapped the would be first female president, and you're defending his actions as not bowing to political pressure.
Are you mental?! It's YOUR claim! YOUR words! For fuck sakes im done with you
Good. Go away.
