You know, I usually write snark, and don't care much if it's popular because I'm here for my own amusement mostly. But this is really becoming self parody. James Comey? At FBI? What's next, John Brennan at CIA? Chuck Hagel for DoD?
A little background. James Comey was instrumental in the racist Project Exile, signed off on torture, and while he stopped the crazy fuck Addington from doing whatever is worse than warrantless wiretapping, supported that form of lawlessness too. It's such a joke now that we have Chuck Fucking Grassley saying that he is concerned about the Obama Admin's lack of Wall Street prosecutions. Read that again. Republicans are shocked. But this news has been out all day, and not one diary anywhere on the subject. I wait with bated breath for the next review of Duck Dynasty by Armando.
The time has come for Obama to just let his freak flag fly and nominate Dick Cheney for the next Supreme Court opening. If he refuses, there's always Scooter Libby.
2:35 PM PT: Quick update from Wikipedia.
From the left, Project Exile was condemned, as racist, by Families Against Mandatory Minimums,[6] and opposed by several members of the Congressional Black Caucus on the grounds that in targeting its enforcement at inner city communities such as in Richmond and Atlanta, and the disproportionate effects the federal gun laws' "prohibited possessor" categories have on African-Americans. In testifying against the reliance on federal mandatory minimum sentences in general, U.S. Congressman Bobby Scott (D-VA) noted that Richmond had a smaller drop in crime during the period Exile was in effect than did Norfolk, which did not have Exile.[7]
