Peter Maass insightfully hammered — "slimeball" James Comey — with Comey's own words

Another self-involved totalitarian — strutting the world's jerk-captured stage

Former FBI Director James Comey is (we can objectively hypothesize) a repellantly disingenuous purveyor of moral and legal wrong — self-disguised as The Saint of Rectitude.

I have been casually following this whine-repressed man's recent circus act. And concluded that he spends so much time trying to look like Jesus' Right Hand of Righteousness, that he self-entangles in unnecessarily complex deceptions.

In short, Comey perennially grandstands at everyone else's expense, including the Law's.

Jim Comey is likely best known as . . .

. . . the FBI "guy" who had a hand in throwing the 2016 American presidential election to Donald Trump. What with his election-interfering timings of two (arguably unlawful) announcements regarding the infamous Hillary Clinton's email server controversy.

Matt Taibbi dissected Comey's election posturing, based on the former Director's newly released book, here.

Comey's Hillary fame thus acknowledged — there is importantly more

In my estimation, Peter Maass spotted even more telling aspects of Jim Comey's Hitlerian world view.

Maass pointed to the following selection, also taken from the book at hand:

People must fear the consequences of lying in the justice system or the system can’t work.

There was once a time when most people worried about going to hell if they violated an oath taken in the name of God. That divine deterrence has slipped away from our modern cultures.

In its place, people must fear going to jail. They must fear their lives being turned upside down. They must fear their pictures splashed on newspapers and websites. People must fear having their names forever associated with a criminal act if we are to have a nation with the rule of law.

Ergo, the Feds become a necessary substitute for God.

We already know what I, and everyone else with functioning moral brains, think about that.

Peter Maass continued his indictment

Consider this extract:

In a short chapter on racial injustice, Comey describes the killings of Eric Garner, Tamir Rice, Walter Scott and Freddie Gray as “tragic deaths.”

But he turns the killings around, lamenting that[:]

they “dominated perceptions of the police.

They swamped and overshadowed millions of positive, professional encounters between citizens and police officers, and extraordinary anger was building toward all uniformed law enforcement.”

Yes, Comey really went there — blaming the victims of police abuse for making people upset that police were abusing them.

Comey's is a Gestapo mind.

We killed y'all for the greater good of the Reich.

Finally, there is this arrow driven through Comey's maggot-infested core

As an attorney myself, I have been taken aback by the former Director's unprofessional willingness to (again) insert himself into current events at the Law's expense.

Recall that Comey is a lawyer.

Now consider former Assistant FBI Director, Chris Swecker's analysis of Comey's professionally repulsive behavior:

I am also particularly concerned that Comey’s grandstanding could be devastating to ongoing prosecutions and investigations by Special Counsel Robert Mueller.

Comey, as an attorney and officer of the court, knows that as a potential key witness it is highly inappropriate and potentially prejudicial to the prosecution for him to comment on matters in which he played such a significant role – and may have to testify about.

It is ironically Comey and his band – including McCabe, Lisa Page and Peter Skrozk . . . who will most likely be called as the first witnesses for the defense in any prosecution that the Special Counsel might bring forward.

When the director of the FBI, his second in command, the national security lawyer assigned to keep the case within legal boundaries and the lead case agent [—] all express a strong bias or even hatred toward the target(s) of the investigation [—] they become key defense witnesses.

Juries will take note of this bias and question everything that stems from it, meaning Comey has carelessly and needlessly complicated Special Counsel Mueller’s mission.

The moral? — James Comey is as much of a self-promoting totalitarian devil, as the President whom he is trying to bring down

President Trump's boomeranging "slimeball" characterization of Comey is workably accurate.
