Comey's Latest Charade

As they brag about these extracted pleas, Mueller and Comey sound less like guardians of democracy than the corrupt commissars of yesteryear, whose victims, as Pravda would duly report, had "Incriminated themselves." Mueller and Comey don't have Pravda, but they do have CNN, which routinely trots out confirmed perjurer James Clapper to gush about the rectitude of their work.

On Monday afternoon, after testifying again before Congress, Comey threw a fit, making a great show of his exasperation at having to answer questions about the "Steele dossier" and the Hillary email investigation.

No matter; Comey insisted again on Monday that any damage done to the FBI comes not from his disgraceful tenure but from presidential tweeting: "The FBI's reputation has taken a big hit because the President of the United States has lied about it constantly."

It is impossible to overstate what a sanctimonious fraud and drip Comey is.

What exactly are Comey's "American values"? Spying on Americans on the basis of what their political opponents say about them? Lying to FISA courts about utterly politicized sources? Calling a spying warrant "Verified" when it demonstrably wasn't? Calling Americans "Probable Russian agents" based on nothing more than overheated partisan conjecture? Leaking to the press through law school buddies for self-aggrandizement? Treating FBI memos as private property? Using violated government confidences as fodder for a lucrative score-settling memoir? That is only a partial list of Comey's prized values.

It came out, incidentally, on Monday that Comey's comically hubristic penchant for self-crowning also extended to an upset Sally Yates, whom Comey said he wouldn't dare let oversee the FBI's questioning of Flynn.

" Never mind that Comey was an Obama holdover too.
