As Washington buzzes over the impending wrap-up of special counsel Robert Mueller’s report on his probe into the Trump campaign and Russian interference, former FBI Director James Comey — whose firing formed the basis of Mueller’s obstruction of justice investigation — said he has few hopes for the final outcome of the probe.
In an op-ed in the New York Times on Friday, Comey said he’s unconcerned with whether the report shows President Trump committed crimes or that he is “completely innocent of all wrong doing,” but rather, he hopes it will prove that the U.S. has a functioning justice system.
“I am rooting for a demonstration to the world — and maybe most of all to our president and his enablers — that the United States has a justice system that works because there are people who believe in it and rise above personal interest and tribalism,” he wrote. “That system may reach conclusions they like or it may not, but the apolitical administration of justice is the beating heart of this country. I hope we all get to see that.”

Mr. Comey,
Were you thinking this when you decided to bitch about Hillary before the election?
Here we go again, the impending wrap up of the Mueller report. Boy, they really like to flog this one and when it finally happens, no one will believe it.
when have we ever shown ourselves to have apolitical administration of justice? and with boofin’ bart on the scotus bent on payback to democrats and liberals - how likely are we to see the apolitical administration of justice anytime soon?
Only if we can destroy the facistgop’s proximity to power do we have a chance to move in the direction of justice for all.
Nah. A functioning justice system will be when cops stop getting acquitted for shooting unarmed minorities in the back, and when people who wreck the economy and destroy the livelihoods of millions of Americans face greater consequences than people selling loosies outside of the local 7-Eleven.
Your 15 minutes are over, Jimmy.
You’re the one who ushered the fat bastard into office, if I recall correctly.
