Deep state ruled.

Maybe. Or maybe there's the more likely possibility that the evidence didn't rise to the level of going any further. I'm not naive enough to believe that rich and powerful folk don't look out for each other. Sure they do. They run in the same circles and It's human nature. But that is a far cry from some deeply rooted "Deep state" secretly controlling things behind the scenes. Is the illuminati somehow involved? That's conspiracy rubbish on par with the Clinton's having people murdered.

I'm quoting myself from a post I made in January from this very thread that has unsurprisingly come true--

"Comey is in a no win situation. If he is somehow charged with something, it will be "I told you so." if they say there is nothing to the memo or that Comey acted correctly, then the Trumpites will claim "secret society cover up."

Substitute secret society for deep state and I'm spot on.

Inspector General investigations are as real and apolitical as it gets. Period. The spin put on these reports needs to stop and elected/appointed officials need to start governing with independent integrity worthy of their positions and to bring confidence back that the checks and balances in place still perform their intended purpose.

To the issue of relevance on this board, Comey was found to be unethical though not to the level of prosecution. That's how I read it.

My issue, despite I find him a loathsome individual (asking for an apology? Seriously?) is that W&M has provided this man a platform representing "ethical leadership". It's embarrassing and disgraceful.

Ethics Professor?

Does in fact Comey still work for Wm & Mary?

I had asked that before. You don't really ever hear about it other than from the bots that keep bringing it up on Twitter. I'm not sure if he ever wound up teaching at W&M.

That would be a blessing.

I responded to the June 5 2019 "For the Bold" request for donations with a message that I would no longer donate to the College as long as James Comey was employed at W&M.

I received a pleasant response from an Associate VP of Lifetime Giving (or something like that)...after recognizing my 27 consecutive years of giving, he gave an explanation. I've included the highlights below:

"We want William & Mary to be engaged in dialogue about complex issues, and although Jim is seen as a divisive public figure by some, he has been deeply involved in issues of national importance. In my view, leading universities should be engaged in debate and discussion about such matters. As in the case with his limited coursework, we believe these interactions offer our students the unique opportunity to engage with an alumnus and senior level leader who has had extensive and relevant experience in public service. Our students crave the opportunity to ask him tough questions, and he has demonstrated a willingness to meet their curiosity head-on. Jim has taught two courses with a total of 30 students (60 students in total) that wish to work in the D.C. arena. He co-taught this with a very respected staffer that leads our student leadership efforts...Jim will be teaching his final session this summer with the other W&M faculty member. Please know this was never a decision to choose a stance or side, it simply was to afford a unique opportunity to our students that seek to work in a similar field. My hope is that tough questions were indeed asked and that our students walked away with what to and not to do..."

So apparently he DID teach courses at the College, but he's done, meaning I can resume my giving to FTB/Annual Fund/whatever they're calling it now.

Thanks, Scotty, for that update. I held off as well and let the Bolders know it. I got a snarkier response than yours, still very happy his name is no longer associated to our faculty or staff.

There has been a very left pull at W&M the last few years. I sure hope the path is corrected before we sink too far down that road. Was pleased when I saw Robert Gates stay in his position through 2028, provides some level of hope we will hold on to our hard earned position of stature, accomplishment, humility and restraint.

The eagerly awaited Horowitz report drops that was supposed to bring us some closure and I see that the goal posts are already being moved again for the new investigation of the investigation of the investigation. Let's keep investigating until we get the answer we want. Smh

I dont know. Actually reading the report shows some pretty disturbing activity.

If I were Comey (and the others), I would feel a lot better if the AG and Durham had not emphatically issued statements of disagreement yesterday. And they are the two who actually have authority to indict.

A little early yet I think for swamp victory laps.

I by no means want to imply Comey is some sort of angel, and my intention wasn't a victory lap. I think my "smh" was directed more about the process. Anything other than the "truth" the president wants won't be enough. When the Russia collusion allegations came up, and Mueller was put on the case, both sides viewed him as a non-partisan straight shooter. When his report didn't return what the president wanted to hear, the Horowitz investigation was started to investigate that investigation. He is mandated to provide oversight on Barr's DOJ. Horowitz is another guy respected for being non partisan. His report, for the most part, agreed with the Mueller report. So, now you have a US attorney and the AG knocking an investigation by someone that oversees their work. An investigation that they have nothing to do with and not saying why. I think I know why... It didn't say what the president wanted it to say. I'm pretty confident if Durham doesn't come up with anything of substance, someone else in line will step forward to take up the crusade. After all, those goal posts can't move themselves.

I’m not going to do a legal brief to refute what you’re posting.

Horowitz referred Comey for criminal prosecution less than three months ago.

Horowitz just reported that FBI abused the FISA process. Who ran the FBI?

The body of the Horowitz report can not give closure as it is damning.

Finally, money was taken from me in the form of federal taxes. That money was sent to the Ukraine. That money was then pocketed by politicians of both parties. Foreign aid is the biggest scam going. And what our politicians allowed China to do to us ... It’s an outrage.

Finally, times two, the curtain has been drawn back re: Washington DC vs the people. It is plain as day.

I recommend reading the transcript of the entire interview which starts at some point in the attached link.

“Seventh floor” appears in the transcript. Remember those words.

Also, Barr says FBI went around DOJ.

Jim Comey update.

Jim Comey update.

By most accounts I've read, the Durham report was a politically motivated, 4 year, $7 million wild goose chase that pretty much broke little new ground from the original IG report.

I hope you are right. The alternative would mean that a W&M grad led a treasonous attack on a duly elected President. Not to mention that a previous and current President were in on the plan.
