It’s really pathetic when you think about it

Hillary lost? Millions must die!

Sure, it was important in 2017. I never believed Russiagate anyway. One could argue it was important in 2022. But these days people who are litigating Russiagate are gremlin neckbeards like Michael Tracey, Jimmy Dore and Matt Taibbi. HELLLO THERE’S AN ONGOING GENOCIDE, HELLO. Who fucking cares anymore about litigating Russiagate. Go and use your platform to advocate for something more useful, like stopping ongoing genocide and stop wasting everyone’s time.

Honestly how many bots are really russian bots? Because there are a lot of bots online spreading right wing shit but I can’t put it solely to Russian bots astroturfing tbh. Lot more people hold disgusting views than people are willing to admit and companies pump out bots that reflect this

Remember how they forgot that a few months later and held this asshole up as the only guy who could stop Trump?

Perfect phone call et cetera et cetera

The Trump admin are going after him for leaking false or misleading statements to the press as an anonymous source, which is highly likely to have happened as it’s something basically all FBI Directors do but usually everyone just allows it.

The bigger reason is his involvement with the Clinton private email server investigation, which is at least somewhat dodgy. Clinton almost definitely broke the law, because even Comey’s final investigation report specifically said that it amounted to “gross negligence” which the Justice Department then stepped in and asked him / made him change to something like “extremely careless” because gross negligence is an actual crime and they didn’t want to have to prosecute a potential president with a crime or announce charges during an election.

In more general ghoul activities that I’m aware of I know he was a pretty hardline anti-privacy, anti-encryption guy. He very publicly went after Apple for not giving the FBI and law enforcement an easy backdoor into their products and data. Even the NSA/CIA director at the time at the time came out and said the request went too far and was attempting to end privacy to make ‘his job easier’. Admittedly, this is probably because they could do it anyway, but they didn’t want to share with the FBI.

Whilst the CIA/NSA were certainly the main culprits (and suggested the most extreme action like kidnapping and assassination) of the Wikileaks prosecution/criminalisation, Comey’s FBI were enthusiastic participants too. I believe he tried to argue for designating various Wikileaks members and even related journalists like Laura Poitras not as journalists but as “information brokers” in order to investigate/prosecute them not as journalists but as potential foreign assets.

Pretty much anything the FBI got up to between 2013-2017 was on Comey’s watch, including breaking it’s own rules and (already extremely liberal and invasive) guidance on spying on activist networks like Occupy Wall Street who were still going, the Keystone XL pipeline protestors, environmental campaigners, and of course people associated with BLM.

He’s always been a ghoul though. He was a rare FBI director I was aware of as a Brit before he got the position, as from 2008 onwards the HSBC bank was in a constant state of scandals here (financial crisis, bailout fraud, fixing Libor rates, tax avoidance & dodgy slushfunds) and they brought Comey in to be their top lawyer during perhaps the most obviously egregious one which was when they were caught actively facilitating global drug cartels (probably at least some CIA linked) and international organised crime more generally. I remember reading about that and discovering that his previous gig had also been at Lockheed Martin.

Comey approved waterboarding

PTSD warning pls
