1. I too am equivocal about Comey. But, I am convinced if ANYONE CAN defend against & expose Trump's vendetta-only

-justified indictments and charges, Comey can and ought to be the one to do it. Not only is he prepared and financially capable of doing so, but the fact that he has established relationships with Patrick Fitzgerald- eager to defend him, and many of the remaining non-corrupted agents within the FBI, means that he CAN fight back and do some immense good on that score. And yes, what he is doing is RIGHT. These charges ARE an assault on justice for us all.

That said, I'm not forgetting what happened with and to HRC at his hands. I never will, but I agree that the issues surpass that.
