33. I don't want to hear another damn thing about Comey's mishandling of the Clinton investigation.

That has nothing to do with the outrageous, Stalinist prosecution that is being done for no reason other than Trump wanting to punish someone who criticized him. If we don't come to Comey's defense regardless of his previous sins, the people we actually like and approve of will be next. There should be no distinction. I'm not a fan of either Comey or Bolton either, but I no longer give a single fuck about my own personal disapproval when people are being persecuted unjustly by a vengeful president and our Department of Justice is shitting on the law and the Constitution.
