Comey discusses his exoneration of Hillary Clinton
The following translations of Comey’s statements are offered by a professional skeptic after hearing Ex-FBI Director James Comey’s answers to George Stephanopoulis’s questions that aired on ABC on April 15, 2018. You can read the entire transcript of the interview here:

The skeptic’s satirical translations appear in italics directly after Comey’s remarks.
GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: Well, you make the decision to make a public statement– July 5th. Take us inside your head. Tell us what you were thinking.
JAMES COMEY: Yeah, my goal was to try to offer as much transparency as I could, consistent with the law and policy, to the American people, with the goal of convincing them, first of all, that we’re not on anybody’s side. We’re not on the Democrat side or the Republican side. That we did this in a competent way, an honest way, an independent way.
And there’s no there, there. That no reasonable prosecutor would prosecute this case. And you can rely upon that ’cause we did this well and in an apolitical way. And so we crafted a statement that we worked on endlessly to get it right. And I decided that I would read it, say it out loud, so that people could hear the tone in my voice. But that I wouldn’t take any questions. And that was the goal, to give a report to the American people and then step away from it.
Translation: I and other leaders at the FBI and the DOJ were anything but transparent. I would be lying if I said otherwise. That simply is not the nature of how a cover-up works, especially one of this magnitude. I had over a hundred FBI agents working on the Clinton matter, but unbeknownst to them, it was all a charade. It was a foregone conclusion that Clinton would be exonerated. It would have been political malpractice for me to do otherwise. It’s easy to criticize me at this point for taking sides, but I challenge anyone in my shoes to have done anything other than exonerate Clinton, who was on a glide path to becoming the next president of U.S. at the time. As for the agents who found boatloads of criminality by Clinton, they were paid well for their work at the expense of taxpayers even though many of them considered my exoneration of Clinton to be a slap in the face. They are professionals and will get over it.

Realist - Everybody in America is soft, and hates conflict. The cure for this, both in politics and social life, is the same -- hardihood. Give them raw truth.
