Release of Comey’s leaked memos seals his fate
By Thomas Lifson

The label “Nixonian” is not a compliment, despite the many foreign policy accomplishments of the 37th president. And that adjective now will surely be attached to the reputation of James Comey for the rest of his days and beyond.  Just as Richard Nixon’s most famous words are “I am not a crook,” James Comey’s most famous words inevitably will be  those revealed in the memos he leaked to the New York Times through a cut-out: “I don’t leak. I don’t do weasel words.”  Now that redacted version of those memos, dictated to memorialize his meetings with President Trump, have been released, the rest of his publicity tour for his pompously-titled book, A Higher Loyalty, is going to be an ordeal.

The obvious contradiction inherent in discovering his self-recorded words “I don’t leak” in a memo that he deliberately, and possibly feloniously, leaked makes him a national joke. Where are his media and political defenders going to go to escape derisive laughter?

Comey has made his bed, and now he is going to sleep in it. Forever.

If this entire Obama Justice department/FBI fiasco isn't thoroughly and completely dealt with in a proper manner this country is finished!

I agree, Big. Seems the state of Law enforcement at very top levels is in the toilet. But, I want to be optimistic about the country. The fact that a Donald Trump was able to break through the ruling class – elbow his way in, you might say – gives me hope that Americans are starting to understand the scope, growth and power of today’s federal government. It should give the average voter serious concerns.

Every Alphabet and government institution is infected.

You are NOT going to fix any of them by simply replacing their Directors, Leaders and Chairmen.

They need to be razed to the ground and nuked from orbit - its the only way to be sure.

Start over clean.

Or - accept the fact that the Republic as intended is finished.
Fart for freedom, fart for liberty and fart proudly.  - Benjamin Franklin

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775
