On Whitaker, Comey seemed to question the top law enforcement officer’s intelligence and experience for the job, but he also suggested that Whitaker understood the danger before him. “He may not be the sharpest knife in our drawer, but he can see his future and knows that if he acted in an extralegal way, he would go down in history for the wrong reasons,” Comey told WGBH. “I’m sure he doesn’t want that.”
Comey also reiterated his stance on appearing before Congress again, calling for his scheduled December 3 hearing to be open to the public and not held behind closed doors.
Comey, who publicly said he was no longer a member of the Republican Party, challenged GOP members as to why they have continued their strong allegiance to Trump despite the president’s actions in office. The former federal prosecutor was asked about a New York Times report that alleged Trump had ordered former White House counsel Don McGahn to prosecute Comey as well as ex-Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
“I am a little bit numb to the president’s threats and tweets because there is nothing there,” Comey said. “Then I stop myself, because it’s wrong for me or anybody else to become numb to the president of the United States announcing that a private citizen should be prosecuted."

I always say I'm not the sharpest knife in the draw but at least I am in the drawer.
Comey, well he was fired!

According to FBI Director James Comey’s statement on Tuesday, former secretary of State Hillary Clinton could have been charged with violating several different code sections, and he detailed the evidence that supports bringing criminal charges.
Yet, Director Comey’s judgment was that “no reasonable prosecutor” would bring the case. I disagree. I believe myself to have been a reasonable prosecutor, and when the facts and evidence show a criminal violation has been committed, the individuals involved should not dictate whether the case is prosecuted.

He was indeed fired.
Just to remind us all again; why was that ?

It could just be me, however, I fail to see any-to-little relevence
between a congress inquiry, the comptences of the new overseer being questioned
and a tabloid story about a nut-case shooter
If targeting 'people in the public eye' is a problem for you
then i'm sure that you must've been equally as appalled
about Alison Parker being slain on live t.v whilst doing her job ?
No ?
