Fired FBI Director James Comey: Vote Democrat, Or Youâre A Traitor

Former FBI Director James Comey implied anyone who doesn’t vote for Democrats in the 2018 midterm elections is a traitor in a tweet Tuesday night. “All who believe in this country’s values must vote for Democrats this fall,” he said.

Comey has appointed himself as something of a moral compass for the country following his firing from the FBI last year.





James Comey

✔ @Comey








This Republican Congress has proven incapable of fulfilling the Founders’ design that “Ambition must ... counteract ambition.” All who believe in this country’s values must vote for Democrats this fall. Policy differences don’t matter right now. History has its eyes on us.



He has been vocal in criticism of Republicans and President Trump. In April, he told   ABC News   he believes “the Republican Party has left me and many others.” But just a few months ago he said   he doesn’t care   which party Americans support, so long as they care about American values.

“I don’t think of it as my politics, I think of it as my values,” he told Meghan McCain on “The View” during his book tour. “I don’t care whether people support a Republican or a Democrat because I’m not either. I don’t care who they support. I hope the conversation with start with values, and come to policy second.”

Comey’s tweet could be considered an obstruction of justice, since Comey is currently   under federal investigation . The Justice Department is examining whether he leaked classified information to the media.

The DOJ inspector general concluded his behavior as FBI director was “insubordinate” in a report released in June.

And Comey knows if democrats take over the House, the investigations of the FBI (and himself) will be dropped.

More proof that Comey was in cahoots with Loretta Lynch trying to rig the election in favor of Hillary.

Lynch abdicated her responsibilities because someone probably whispered in her little ear that meeting with a spouse of someone under investigation is generally frowned upon.

Probably?  It's obvious that Lynch's boss told her what to do/say and has been orchestrating this debacle the entire time. His failing "legacy" depends on it.

The headline listed is the headline of the article.

As for Comey- he can rot.  After "questioning" but taking no action against both Obama and Lynch for influencing the Clinton email investigation, and botching the Clinton investigation; the moron tapes Trump; and then leaks the information.  Seems he was more concerned about keeping his Establishment job; than actually following the law.

I remember when the left blasted Comey for costing Hillary the election. Now they are trying to hold the ass up as a paragon of virtue. Of course he is a vocal critic of Trump and the Republicans- and has had reservations in his roll that may have influence the election outcome.

He is the same asshole that laid out the case for charging Hillary Clinton with negligence- but decided not to indict her.  He allowed his original statement to be watered down severely; otherwise he would have sounded even more in the tank for Hillary.

In his letter to Wray , Johnson cites an early draft of Comey's statement, which he says shows "repeated edits to reduce Secretary Clinton's culpability in mishandling classified information."
CNN previously reported that a former top counterintelligence expert at the FBI had changed the description detailing Clinton's handling of classified information from "grossly negligent" to "extremely careless" in Comey's draft statement, but the decision to make the change was a team effort, with a handful of people reviewing the language as edits were made, according to US officials familiar with the matter .
Johnson notes in his letter to Wray that the term "gross negligence" is "a legal threshold."
The letter also raises concerns over "edits to remove reference to the intelligence community's role in identifying vulnerabilities related to Secretary Clinton's private email server" and "edits to downgrade the likelihood that hostile actors had penetrated Secretary Clinton's private server."
According to US officials familiar with the matter, electronic records showed Peter Strzok was the FBI official who changed the "grossly negligent" language in Comey's statement, CNN reported last week.
Comey and Mueller are part of the career Establishment. It doesn't matter what party is in charge they have a job.  Of course the flip side is they protect the Establishment. Hillary is Establishment, Trump isn't.

I think the headline should have read "FBI director and millions of ex-Republicans now realize it's no longer a vote between Democrat and Republican, it's a vote between Union and Confederate". Vote Union or you are a traitor.

Now look at who wants to take us back to the 60's!

Liberals, Progressives and Democrats aren't the ones who have taken us to the 1860's, it's the KKK, Neo-Nazis, white supremacists and the conservatives who welcomed them into their party. It's a dangerous President who has micturated all over the US constitution and given comfort to our enemies while vilifying tax paying, law abiding American citizens simply because we believe in freedom, equality and justice for all regardless of race, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, faith or lack thereof.

that is some bs right there..

freedom to agree with the leftist ideology or be called a nazi? is not freedom by any definition.

meanwhile, attacking any person regardless of race, gender, or faith that does not subscribe to the leftwing bs is so very democratic.

yepp, dems are all about diversity. well, except when it comes to diversity of speech or opinion.

You're free to go march with your tiki torch in hand chanting "Jews will not replace us!" if you want, just don't expect that freedom to include being free of consequences, ridicule and derision. None of those Nazi's, KKK member or white supremacists were killed when they marched, though one of their members did drive his car into the crowd of those protesting their bigoted parade murdering one and maiming dozens.

You can stand on the corner all day long if you want shouting about how you love Trump, Hitler, Putin and fascism, that's freedom. But don't expect others not to call you a Nazi, that's their freedom to identify and define you by your actions and words.

Great analogy only your conclusion is backwards. If you recall it was the democratic party which represented the secessionist south and just like the way the democratic party went after President Trump on the day he was elected, the democrats of the south seceded from the Union the day Lincoln was elected.

This comment and your Previous comment are LIES.

From the article;

Former FBI Director James Comey implied anyone who doesn’t vote for Democrats in the 2018 midterm elections is a traitor in a tweet Tuesday night.

The Headline ;

Fired FBI Director James Comey: Vote Democrat, Or You’re A Traitor

No quotation marks. Opinion piece headline reflecting the author's opinion of what Comey meant based on what Comey did say.

“All who believe in this country’s values must vote for Democrats this fall,” he said.

That is a quote. Not a lie.

What led to the author's interpretation? That's easy.

Clearly Comey is saying that every individual who believes in this country's values has to vote Democrat. Anybody that doesn't vote Democrat doesn't believe in this country's values. Being a citizen and not believing in this country's values makes you a traitor.

In addition calling people who don't support the Democrats  traitors is the latest leftwing mantra nationwide and being used profusely right here on NT. You wouldn't know anybody that has been doing that would you?

The seeder chose to seed an article whose headline is a lie. What does that make the seeder?

You wouldn't be implying that the seeder is a liar and by extension a traitor would you? If not, why the question?

In my opinion those who besmirch and denigrate others because they don't agree do not believe in this country's values which by extension makes them traitors.

Why is the left supported by you and many others using political tactics that focus on creating disruption and confrontation? Why are they and their cohorts doing the same on the right following the "Manifesto" playbook to the letter?

A logical conclusion would be that they are the Russian meddlers we keep hearing so much about.

I am not sure the Dems will accept Comey even if he were to bend knee and kiss Hillary's ring.

They still blame him for Hillary losing the election. Also throwing Lynch and Obama under a bus in his book and in testimony to Congress didn't do him any favors.

But he is anti Trump and anti Republican; and he was supposedly a Republican at one point and time.  So they are using the fool as a weapon to get at Trump- nothing more.

Comey has spoken his opinion.

Trump, and the rest of the right wing have yet to speak theirs.  Unless family separation, tax cuts for billionaires, voter suppression, increasing debt and deficits, forced child birth mandated under law, complete disregard for national infrastructure, denial of external threats and shifting more financial burden onto The States is the message.

GOPERS control all three branches of government.  Are increasing their hold/control of the courts.  They have taken control of 'the ship', removed the rudder, burned the sails and threw overboard the bilge pumps so they wouldn't have to maintain them.  All of that work and they still have 'the Trump'.

He apparently said “All who believe in this country’s values must vote for Democrats this fall,”. So apparently there are some who define "not believing in our countries values" as treason, but they don't see a President carrying water for an enemy foreign government, that helped him get elected, and is set on destroying western democracy and those actual American values of freedom, equality and justice for all, as treasonous.
