1. I hope he gets an ulcer

No one like him deserves to sleep peacefully after what he did.

He's a menace to our country.

2. Not Comey, about policies but other individuals at DOJ and FBI as well.

GOP wants individuals investigated.

Department’s Assistant Attorney General for Legislative Affairs is Peter J. Kadzik who went to law school with Podesta - close friend. Donated to Hillary's campaign. His wife worked for President Clinton's adminstration.

FBI Deputy Director is Andrew McCabe - claim potential conflict of interest related to donations from the political action committee of Governor McAuliffe to the state Senate campaign of his wife, Dr. Jill McCabe.

3. I think we need an INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION....one that will drag on for 4 years and can't be

stopped....one that will look into Comey's "associates" -- e.g. the Putin asset Rudy Giuliani, who can't find his ass with both hands, doesn't associate ASDFG-space/semi-LKGH-space with a keyboard, and can't pick a fucking dentist to save his life....yeah, he's the PERFECT guy (in PUTIN-WORLD) to oversee our national "cybersecurity" -- he'll probably be worrying if the gubmint updated their NETSCAPE....

4. Comey is pond scum and lacks any professional or other ethics

5. Comey is the main problem. He refuses to investigate Trump or his underlings.

Why?????
