There is nothing in that post about your motives.
Your OP headline, on the other hand, is about Comey's motives, when the IG report says no such thing.

****BREAKING**** IG Report- Comey took action to * hurt Hillary ** [View all] DemocratSinceBirth Jun 2018 OP

This report will very likely not benefit the Trump Administration in any way. MineralMan Jun 2018 #1

And water is wet...we all knew that. Demsrule86 Jun 2018 #2

Yeah, but you know how it is. Girard442 Jun 2018 #4

Thanks you for that clarification...most important to note the wetness of water...it is after all Demsrule86 Jun 2018 #8

An official pronouncement was need to clarify any doubt that water is wet. I think we can safely say Demsrule86 Jun 2018 #118

you forgot that Botany Jun 2018 #86

Comey had one motive only. All others made no sense because of the timing onit2day Jun 2018 #100

come could have checked out the allegations about HRC in an hour but no he went .... Botany Jun 2018 #103

I felt we might address those issues at a different time but perhaps, I have been negligent in this Demsrule86 Jun 2018 #119

Duh! malaise Jun 2018 #3

Hahaha...love you Malaise! Have to keep our sense of humor in these dark times! Demsrule86 Jun 2018 #17

I mean malaise Jun 2018 #23

hahah...I must need to laugh...laughed so hard I spilled my coffee! Demsrule86 Jun 2018 #25

Laughing is very good for us malaise Jun 2018 #26

Yes it is...keeps us going. Demsrule86 Jun 2018 #38

He loved Comey...was thrilled with the report...but then Comey didn't kiss his orange ass... Demsrule86 Jun 2018 #5

IIRC there's video of Anusface blowing Comey a kiss ? Pluvious Jun 2018 #87

Where he hugged Comey? Comey was wrong...and like everyone who climbs into bed with Trump , he Demsrule86 Jun 2018 #117

Misleading headline brooklynite Jun 2018 #6

You made that inference and not me DemocratSinceBirth Jun 2018 #10

"took action TO hurt"...vs "took action THAT hurt" brooklynite Jun 2018 #12

Took is a verb, nothing more and nothing less. DemocratSinceBirth Jun 2018 #15

...and THAT is an adverb which qualifies the word TOOK brooklynite Jun 2018 #18

You're really invested in your lil theory, aren't ya ? DemocratSinceBirth Jun 2018 #20

The word "to" in the headline means that it was the motive. Adding an asterisk... thesquanderer Jun 2018 #76

Yes, especially when explicitly describing it as "the truth and the correct narrative". nt greyl Jun 2018 #21

Did you read Post 19 as I requested, suggested, or instructed ? DemocratSinceBirth Jun 2018 #29

What's the use? Its words might not actually mean anything. nt greyl Jun 2018 #30

"took actions that" is different from "took actions to" greyl Jun 2018 #16

Please see Post 19. DemocratSinceBirth Jun 2018 #22

If post #19 is important, progressoid Jun 2018 #110

The important point here is that this means Trump and Ghouliani can't spin this as the FBI Demsrule86 Jun 2018 #19

That is getting lost in this discussion. DemocratSinceBirth Jun 2018 #24

I would agree. I don't think this report will help Trump ET AL from what has Demsrule86 Jun 2018 #27

He is going to spin the report. DemocratSinceBirth Jun 2018 #33

He is going to try...but if what is being reported is in the report...blows his BS out of the water. Demsrule86 Jun 2018 #40

Means they'll spin it another way; i.e. ooky Jun 2018 #31

It won't work. Demsrule86 Jun 2018 #46

It will work with his base. That's it. DemocratSinceBirth Jun 2018 #50

Maybe...but it won't work as a pretext to attack the FBI. Demsrule86 Jun 2018 #54

It does with his base. Discredit the IG and then they will say any lie they want about the FBI ooky Jun 2018 #81

I understand that ...but I don't think it worked at least today...his base will do what they choose Demsrule86 Jun 2018 #116

I am so turned off by your graphics that I fast forward through the whole thread so that I don't sweatlee Jun 2018 #107

I like my graphics...sorry you don't. Demsrule86 Jun 2018 #115

I think Brooklynite is right. bearsfootball516 Jun 2018 #66

I'm not sure it can be claimed that ChiTownDenny Jun 2018 #92

Hey man, normally on your side, but...,. Adrahil Jun 2018 #74

This message was self-deleted by its author OliverQ Jun 2018 #13

Yep. Misleading and intended to mislead. rainin Jun 2018 #28

Now you are impugning my motives. DemocratSinceBirth Jun 2018 #35

Really? Demsrule86 Jun 2018 #42

Thank you. DemocratSinceBirth Jun 2018 #47

Yes, really. progressoid Jun 2018 #109

I think this was just silly...nitpicking really, and a long term Duer deserves better...Just my two Demsrule86 Jun 2018 #114

making such statements about another poster is so not DU...might want to rethink that. Demsrule86 Jun 2018 #56

That's okay. DemocratSinceBirth Jun 2018 #62

Yep...well you don't deserve this. Demsrule86 Jun 2018 #77

Demsrule86, you're a true friend. DemocratSinceBirth Jun 2018 #78

It is obvious that the action harmed Clinton's campaign NY_20th Jun 2018 #34

Why do you think people are focusing on whether I used "to" instead of "that" ? DemocratSinceBirth Jun 2018 #36

...because you did. brooklynite Jun 2018 #37

My question was directed to NY 20th. DemocratSinceBirth Jun 2018 #41

I was not aware that only the person you ask a question of is allowed to reply. brooklynite Jun 2018 #45

You didn't answer my question. Rather than repeat it please see Post 41 DemocratSinceBirth Jun 2018 #49

I'm not speaking for anyone else... brooklynite Jun 2018 #51

That tweet wouldn't fit in the amount of characters we can use in a title here. DemocratSinceBirth Jun 2018 #55

I have no idea. NY_20th Jun 2018 #39

Churchill would call it arrant pedantry. DemocratSinceBirth Jun 2018 #43

Hillary Clinton said "words matter". greyl Jun 2018 #58

She also said Comey undermined her campaign, did she not ? DemocratSinceBirth Jun 2018 #63

Yes, and I doubt she would post a misleading headline about the IG report. greyl Jun 2018 #67

If it was pointed out to me nicely I might have included the edit in my thread... DemocratSinceBirth Jun 2018 #71

Fuck Misleading Headlines. nt greyl Jun 2018 #73

Now DemocratSinceBirth Jun 2018 #75

Please read post #74 carefully. nt greyl Jun 2018 #79

I read it carefully. DemocratSinceBirth Jun 2018 #82

What is the logical inference if somebody misstates something and refuses to correct it? mythology Jun 2018 #111

I was doing four things at once. I only mentioned I was doing multiple things four times ITT DemocratSinceBirth Jun 2018 #113

I agree. The headline is significantly misleading. NT enough Jun 2018 #61

Another poster impugning my motives. DemocratSinceBirth Jun 2018 #68

Are you being serious? greyl Jun 2018 #70

It is this HARSH, parental, shaming mode of interacting that constipates open dialogue OhNo-Really Jun 2018 #88

Empathy is part and parcel of liberalism DemocratSinceBirth Jun 2018 #90

I will always be puzzled by human harshness. We are being driven towards reclusivity. OhNo-Really Jun 2018 #91

I was doing four things at once and wanted to share the news as soon as I saw it. DemocratSinceBirth Jun 2018 #93

Word crafting is .....well, a craft. OhNo-Really Jun 2018 #101

Maybe this will help DemocratSinceBirth Jun 2018 #102

Nothing we didn't know as soon as he concluded his Late Breaking Media Shitshow Wwcd Jun 2018 #11

The next question is why did he do it? Freethinker65 Jun 2018 #14

Sounds very feasible. Duppers Jun 2018 #57

Wrong. He was not supposed to discuss it, and broke protocol when he did lunamagica Jun 2018 #95

I never said he was right to make the statement. I think Nunes, Gowdy, Chaffetz, etc. pressured him Freethinker65 Jun 2018 #98

I don't care today... FarPoint Jun 2018 #32

You are correct in what is the most important, FarPoint. pazzyanne Jun 2018 #52

Huh. You don't say... DesertRat Jun 2018 #59

Karma! SunSeeker Jun 2018 #69

Yep cungar2000 Jun 2018 #72

I don't give a crap if the headline is slightly misleading. I just read the article and I understand dameatball Jun 2018 #80

I was literally doing four things at once when I typed the headline. DemocratSinceBirth Jun 2018 #84

True THAT! I conquer with what dameatball said! debsy Jun 2018 #85

Even worse to consider maltzmax Jun 2018 #83
