I wonder what Robert Mueller has to say about this.
/If he can remember it.
NOT,
MY,
PURVIEW,
R,
So Meuller and Comey were engaged in little fuck fuck political power games and political sand castle building. In the mean time the Russians were getting breakfast lunch and dinner.
I guess all you need to climb the ladder is a JD, good hair, glad handing and backing the right factions at the right time.
We'd be better off off with a Saudi Prince running the FBI. Sure they are incompetent, buit at least people know that and act accordingly.
Comey and Mueller are assumed to be competent and are not.
