Are you still trying to sort out the purpose of testimony by former FBI Director James Comey on Capitol Hill this week?

After everyone else in the world has had his or her say, allow me to bottom-line this for you:

• Comey admitted that as FBI director, he knowingly and intentionally leaked privileged, self-serving information to the press. This after he referred to the whistleblower institution of WikiLeaks as “information porn.”
• Why did Comey covertly leak his notes about meetings with President Trump rather than confronting Trump about what he thought was an inappropriate approach, or, alternatively, reporting the conversation to the attorney general or congressional oversight authorities? He explained that he did not have the “courage” nor the presence of mind to do that.
• He admitted that he was never directed by President Trump to drop any investigation.
• He admitted that former Attorney General Loretta Lynch pressured him to downplay the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s email scandal during the 2016 presidential election campaign. He further confirmed that he saw her secretive meeting with former President Bill Clinton as a conflict of interest.

So, what did we learn from all these revelations – some candid and others tortured?

I think we know why Comey gave Hillary Clinton a pass for violating national security laws.

Comey’s testimony showed he was more concerned about his own personal reputation than doing his job as one of the nation’s top law-enforcement officers. It also demonstrates that the only real political pressure he experienced as FBI director was during Barack Obama’s administration when he was ordered to downplay the Clinton investigation by his immediate boss.

And that’s exactly what Comey did.

Of course, no one followed up on this revelation, though it was by far the biggest news hook to come from the hearing.

Let me review this once again.

Comey said he got political pressure from Lynch to drop or downplay the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s email scandal – and that’s what he did. ...
