[QUOTE="BrownArmy, post: 3502076, member: 18225"] There's merit in your description, but I don't see it the same way. Comey fancies himself a boy-scout, and he's had the privilege of pissing off both sides, for radically different reasons. In fact, Comey [B][I]didn't [/I][/B]give her a free pass, because he thought she would win the election: he told Congress that he was reopening the investigation into HRC because of Weiners' e-mails... of course it leaked, probably not a boon for her campaign. Angels on a pin, it's unquantifiable how Comey's actions or lack of actions aided or hindered either Trump or Clintons' campaigns...same could be said for fake ads sown on FB by Russian operatives...like the amount of licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie-Roll lollipop, we may never know... And you're correct, if HRC had won the Presidency, any investigations into her nonsense wouldn't have been handled by the team that's handling the Trump investigation. I was more pointing toward the irony (as proposed in a picture above) that the major players involved in the investigation of Trump are all card-carrying Republicans that are just doing their jobs. (Doesn't seem relevant to me that some of the lawyers on Muellers' team are 'democrats', or gave money to Democratic campaigns...my impression is these are career lawyers who just do what they do, anyway, YMMV) I'd say the exact same thing if this same team were investigating Clinton. And here's the deal - if Mueller writes his report and says Trump didn't know anything about whatever, I'll buy that. [/QUOTE]
