Quote:So I looked into the FBI Director's (James Comey) background.  A couple of things kind of stand out in my mind.

 

First, he wasn't appointed as Director of the FBI under President Bush, he was a Deputy Attorney General.  During his time there, there was certainly some friction involved.  He was actually appointed to his current position by President Obama.

 

This is pretty much looking like a partisan job to me.  Some posters use the "he was a Bush appointee" argument, but that's really not the case.  Look at his background and it's pretty evident that he is pretty much one of the "Democrat Elites" in Washington DC.

 

I did my bit of research this evening, I would suggest others do the same.

 

Honestly, JIB, I read the same Wiki page you posted and came up with the complete opposite thought on Comey.

 

From a statement in 2007, quoted from the page you linked to:

 

"The Department of Justice, in my view, is run by political appointees of the President. The U.S. attorneys are political appointees of the President. But once they take those jobs and run this institution, it's very important in my view for that institution to be another in American life, that—because my people had to stand up before juries of all stripes, talk to sheriffs of all stripes, judges of all stripes. They had to be seen as the good guys, and not as either this administration or that administration."

 

Later on the page, it states that he's a registered Republican that donated to both John McCain's 2008 campaign and Mitt Romney's 2012 campaign.

 

After yesterday's speech, do you REALLY think Comey's voting for Hillary?  Or that he's somehow a "Democrat elite?"
