No matter which side of the political aisle you prefer, there is one thing a whole lot of people on social media are agreeing on — FBI director James Comey’s job is on thin ice.
And that’s putting it nicely.
Comey’s letter to Congress on Sunday saying that a review of additional Hillary Clinton emails does not change the FBI’s previous conclusion that she should not face criminal charges for her use of a private email server as Secretary of State was received with sigh of relief by some and a fit of anger by others.
“FBI director ‘Comey’ has jeopardized Democracy,” Cher tweeted, while Clint Eastwood took the opposite view, writing, “Poor guy has his hands tied.”
But among the rage, distrust and disillusionment, there was also a spattering of humor.
Take a look for yourself:

How convenient that Comey announces Hillary's exoneration from an erroneous investigation after all the Sunday news shows have aired.

When you try to play both sides of the fence
you usually wind up getting stuck in the ass.

The way people have flipped on FBI Director Comey in the last hour is hilarious, if not incredibly sad.

FBI Director Comey was the greatest person alive when Trumpsters thought that HRC would be indicted this week. Hmmm.

YES, FBI Director Comey could go thru 650000 in a week because they were almost all DUPLICATES! If all had to be read, of course not.
