FBI Director James Comey’s intervention in the election last October — controversial at the time — looks completely indefensible now.

James Comey clamped his mouth shut, about new, and alarming information against Trump. Comey sided with the people that were persecuting Hillary Clinton. He muddied the waters, two weeks before Election Day, only to say there was nothing there.
gsgs question- was the newest information on the dossier concerning Trump, Russia, and compromising information, under discussion at the briefing conference ?
Ex-MI6 officer Christopher Steele has apparently gone into hiding after being identified as the author of the report claiming Moscow held incriminating material on the US president-elect which it could use to blackmail him.
Mr Steele - who runs the London-based Orbis Business Intelligence Service - is said to have originally compiled the report for political opponents of Mr Trump in Washington.
Earlier, Downing Street refused to be drawn on whether the Government had offered any assistance to Mr Steele, who was reported to be in fear for his life after being named in media reports.

James Comey did or said something that made House Democrats go mad with rage, which they cannot share with us, because, again, classified. Check it, via The Hill:
"I have concerns."
"I'm extremely concerned — extremely."
"I'm very angry."
"I'm disappointed, outraged — many of us are right now,"
"Some of the things that were revealed in this classified briefing — my confidence has been shook."
Rep. Maxine Waters respoding to the classified intelligence briefing she attended with FBI director James Comey regarding the Clinton email investigation.
Waters said Comey has "no credibility."

FBI Director James Comey proved who he was, when he decided his loyalty was to the arse clowns persecuting Hillary Clinton.

That hearing started off with a statement from Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., that evoked a question from Todd on Sunday by mentioning the need for an investigation into any “contact between the Russian government and its agents, and associates of any campaign and candidate.” This was strange because Friday’s unclassified report didn’t say anything about contact between any “campaign and candidate” and the Russian government. Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., then referenced an interview in which a top Russian diplomat said his government had been in contact with the Trump campaign and asked Comey, “Has the FBI investigated these reported relationships, and, if so, what are the agency’s findings?” What was this all about?
Comey responded by saying, “I would never comment on investigations, whether we have one or not, in an open forum like this. So I really can’t answer it one way or another.” Considering his notorious behavior with respect to the Hillary Clinton email server investigation, this naturally elicited some incredulous reactions, notably from Sen. Angus King, I-Maine, who followed up quickly by asking if Comey planned to answer Wyden’s question. And when Comey repeated his statement, King archly replied, “The irony of your making that statement here — I cannot avoid.”
Then Comey attempted to cover his gaffe by saying that he is known to be “politically tone-deaf” and then patted himself on the back, saying that was “how it should be.” But he has given the appearance of a blatant double standard on this ever since it was revealed that the FBI knew about alleged Russian interference and Comey refused to divulge it prior to the election, citing ethics rules barring the FBI from interfering in elections.

The currently serving FBI agent said Clinton is “the antichrist personified to a large swath of FBI personnel,” and that “the reason why they’re leaking is they’re pro-Trump.”
