    Default Comey: Not an overstatement to say it’s a dangerous time for our country

    Former FBI Director James Comey said he didn’t think it was an overstatement to say it’s a “dangerous time in our country” during his first interview since being fired by President Trump.

    Comey made the remark after ABC's George Stephanopoulos in their interview Sunday night said his forthcoming book had a “sense of alarm” about it.

    “I worry that the norms at the center of this country — we can fight as Americans about guns or taxes or immigration, and we always have,” Comey said. “But what we have in common is a set of norms. Most importantly, the truth. ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident,’ right?”

    Comey said he is worried about no longer “tethering our leaders to that truth."

    “Actually, the foundation of this country is in jeopardy when we stop measuring our leaders against that central value of the truth,” Comey said.

    such hubrus and drivel from a leaker/liar.

    I saw this headline and thought "maybe he's talking about the dangers of our politicization"- we are becoming 2 distinct political entities.

    But it's the same old sanctimonious drivel from the self appointed Mr. Moral whose hatred of Trump for firing him
    makes Trump "dangerous"

    We elected a braggadocios narcissistic reality TV star and multi bankrupt flim-flam real estate developer with zero public service experience to the highest office in the land.
    Why would anyone think that wasn't a dangerous adventure to partake?
    We have the intellect to imagine the finality of our own demise but do not have the sophistication to overcome our survival instinct and accept it.
    Solution? Magical thinking and childish promises of everlasting life.
    Ergo, religion.

    Ask yourself honestly if this describes what you believe to be true.
    If the answer is yes, you are a racist.

    of course. My objection is giving this A-hole a platform for his untethered hate.
    He's sanctimonious garbage, and he led a corrupt FBI

    He did the last thing any FBI agent should do. He got involved politically with an investigation.
    Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
    empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
    pain in abortion.

    Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
    which has begun. To abort life is to end it.

    He will be remembered for his brave role in ending this disastrous and fake presidency.

    The phony "president" was Trump's predecessor.

    On one side, Comey, a highly intelligent dedicated public servant who respects the law and does the right thing. On the other..Trump. Yeah, trump is wearing us out telling lies and insulting real honest people. His followers are unable to discern the facts . Comey did not leak. Comey is very respected and liked by the FBI people. Someone else is not. The person who went to the FBI after the election and lied about his inauguration crowd size. You guys are nuts backing that clown.
