1. Could not agree more!

2. Comey has destroyed his reputation forever

3. Yup, I think the same thing.

After the first announcement, he had my respect as someone who followed the evidence and the law despite political pressures. And at the last minute he worse than caves to his worst partisan instincts. Regardless of outcome, he has destroyed his reputation.

7. He was preening in public the first time too

and talking crap a professional with integrity would not have been. For starters, the FBI is supposed to investigate, period, not pass and announce judgment on whether there is a case.

4. He is a tool

Hope he is fired the day after the election. I did not post body because I have heard that Salon is touchy.

5. The text of the article doesn't really support the headline...

it just makes him seem like an independent minded prosecutor who likes to prosecute.

For an article written at the time he was nominated that explains why Obama may have nominated
him, see:

8. I think there is still a job opening at Baylor.

He can follow in his mentor's footsteps.
