The significance of James Comey's bias


Why mention his bias?  Well, I suspect that it is a good idea, since the left has a tendency to deny their biases.  Since Comey is now identifying with the Democrats, it is well to point out his bias.  Not to mention that those who claim to be on the Democrat side like to deny their biases.

Yet, they are in no way denying their bias against Trump.  It is important to point this out,
because they love to embrace the phrase "rule of law".

But bias and the "rule of law" cannot mix.  "Justice is blind", which means it must be
impartial-- without bias.  The significance of his bias then, is that he cannot judge the
matter fairly because of his bias.  Isn't that why the recusal is always being sought?  The
Dems love to force opponents they disagree with to recuse, but they won't do it themselves.

Dems are not impartial.  Therefore, they cannot be allowed to claim that they are for "rule
of law".  Their insistence on protecting Mueller cannot be equated with the protection of the rule of law, but the protection of Democrats.  This is wrong.  If justice is to be blind, and if there is to be a rule of law, then the likes of Comey cannot be tolerated where the
rule of law is king.

He, and the Democrats have a serious credibility issue.  They wish to remove Trump, but they also like to be seen as for the rule of law.  This must not be allowed.  If they are to remove Trump, it must be seen as a partisan move--- not a legal one.

Comey leaked to the media, which he testified that he would never do.  But he did.  The leak came in response to his being fired.  He claims that his firing was obstruction of justice, but he is not seeking justice.  He is seeking partisan revenge.
