Comey's corruption as head of FBI exposed in GOP hearings

PJ Media:
Multiple Republicans on the House Judiciary and Oversight and Reform committees strongly denounced former FBI Director James Comey's smug and duplicitous performance after his second closed-door testimony in front of their committees on Monday.

Reps. John Ratcliffe (R-TX) and Darrell Issa (R-CA) blasted the "corrupt" and "sanctimonious" Comey in separate Fox News segments Tuesday evening, while Reps Mark Meadows (R-NC) and Jim Jordan (R-OH) shared some of Comey's problematic answers on Twitter.

During an appearance on "The Story with Martha MacCallum," Rep. Ratcliffe said Comey's self-assured demeanor came across as "a witness who [thinks he's] always right."

Ratcliffe slammed Comey for telling the press after his interview that he was irritated by Republicans' continuous questions regarding Hillary Clinton's email scandal, arguing that it was important to compare the FBI's email investigation to the Russia investigation.
...
He told MacCallum that Republicans spent a lot of time probing Comey about why virtually all the departures from FBI protocols seemed to work in favor of Hillary Clinton and her team, but to the detriment of Donald Trump and his team.

"It's hard to argue with a witness like Jim Comey who's always right," Ratcliffe said sarcastically. "The same conduct was treated differently by Jim Comey's FBI in Hillary Clinton's investigation than in the Trump investigation."

Ratcliffe said he used to respect Comey, but he has since come to realize he is "duplicitous and sanctimonious."
...
Ratcliffe shared a transcription of one of his exchanges with Comey that drives home his point about the FBI's more lenient attitude toward Clinton:

There is more.

All of the crimes listed by Ratcliff are much worse than those for which people like Flynn and Papadopoulos were forced to plead guilty too yet the sanctimonious Comey pretends they are not worthy of indictments. Trump was right to fire him and probably should have done it as soon as he was sworn in.

The Republicans believe Comey was a dirty cop whose main mission was to try to get Trump.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Headline USA: Pentagon Fires Back after Musk Calls Its Most Expensive Project ‘Obsolete’ 'Yeah, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Mr. Musk is, currently, a private citizen, I'm not going to make any comments about what a private citizen may have to say about the F-35....'   ... ... Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
