    So glad these clowns took the high road and didn’t push to prosecute a fucking insurrection. So glad the FBI was complicit in these honey pots with epstein and that they didn’t push to prosecute or leak anything while the orange clown was running for POTUS.

    Really, top tier work sticking to your principles at the cost of our fragile democracy.

    “86” just means to toss them out of the establishment (like restaurant or whitehouse). If it was “187 47” then there might be something to bite into, otherwise it’s just a nothing burger only existing for the further distraction from the trump/epstein files and the realization that your dear leader is nothing more than a self-serving pedophile.

    And they’re only getting to this now because they were spending time going after all of those rednecks with the lifelike “Biden tied up in the back of my truck” tailgate stickers, right?

    To me, this is the guy that did a dirty to Hillary a week before her election with trump, but now he’s trump’s enemy?

      He “seemed” to pretty quickly regret whatever role he might have played in trump winning. Comey was always trying to maintain a low profile after trump got sworn in and didn’t really try to buddy up to him or take advantage of it like one would expect.

      Even if it wasn’t, it’s like the most open and shut case for innocence. All he has to say is “I thought it meant that Trump should be impeached.”

      Obviously it would be super worrisome if we even get to that stage, but this is retarded and such a waste of time.

        Even if it ment he should be killed. That standard would be applied right back to trump. Trump has called for far worse explicitly violent things to happen to others. The president isn’t above the law. And I hate Comey. Dude is a racist and spearheaded many FBI task forces that attacked minorities and left wing communities. But the 8647 narrative is so laughable.

    8647 should become a popular T-shirt. Pretty hard to convict one person for something that is widespread in the popular culture.

      I have an 86 45 shirt I used to wear during the first term. When the comey bullshit first hit the news, my father called me and told me how I shouldn’t wear violent messages, told me that I’d better watch my back if I wore something like that again. I hung up and ordered an 86 47 shirt. Wearing it today in fact.

      It’s already an incredibly popular sign at every No Kings protest or just random local protests in general.

      Even if it was just Comey who did it, this doesn’t constitute a direct or actionable threat. 86 is kitchen jargon to get rid of something, and one interpretation of that could be to kill, but another could be to get rid of him using the legal channels already in place (impeachment, invoking 25th amendment, etc.).

      This indictment has no legs and will get tossed out before any competent judge.

    after all this time comey is what led him to the 1st term, and the 2nd term, because helped energized the R base by posting “false” allegations of investigation against her. i dont think he will get sympathy from dems.
