A Big Tent

The joy continues.

The endorsements keep coming.

One of the latest: that of James Comey, former FBI director in the Trump Administration.

James Comey

Comey left the Republican party in 2016 and has since been an Independent.

Here is what he had to say in a recent post:

“Kamala Harris made me feel like it’s finally morning in America. Everyone who cares about the rule of law and America’s indispensable role in the world should vote for Harris and Walz. I will.”

Comey also said, in May, 2024:

“Serious for the Justice Department and the FBI, because Trump is coming for those institutions. He knows their power, and I think he has regrets that he didn’t work hard enough to corrupt them last time. So, he’s coming for them, and that’s a danger for all Americans.

“He’s going to put people in positions in those organizations. He didn’t have all-stars the last time; he’ll have the bottom of the barrel this time, but people who will want to do his will. And that should worry every American. This election matters because of a reason like that.”

I find it curious and more than a little baffling that his support of then-candidate Joe Biden in 2020 was spurned.
