Trump lawyers call Comey 'Machiavellian' in note to Mueller

It's kinda hard to sling mud and keep your own hands clean.

Towards the end of the AP piece..."Though the inspector general’s office faulted Comey for some of his decisions, it did not find that FBI actions in the case were tainted by political bias.

Comey's own words, "It is entirely possible that, because I was making decisions in an environment where Hillary Clinton was sure to be the next president, my concern about making her an illegitimate president by concealing the restarted investigation bore greater weight than it would have if the election appeared closer or if Donald Trump were ahead in all polls."

So, James, you wouldn't have said a word if the polling was close or if Trump was ahead?

Nope, nothing political at all...

“Machiavellian, dishonest, and unbounded by law and regulation" ???

This sounds like the pot calling the kettle black.

Urban Dictionary - "Many years ago, people used to cook over an open flame using copper kettles and iron pots. The copper kettles were usually polished after every use whereas the iron pots were not and remained blackened from the soot from previous cookings. Well someone got the idea that if the iron pot were alive and it looked at a nearby copper kettle, it would see a black image. The iron pot believes it sees the image of the copper kettle when in reality, because the copper kettle was polished, what the iron pot was seeing was a reflection of itself. This symbolic phrase became associated with hypocrisy. An accuser blames someone else for having a fault when the accuser has the same fault."

Do they not get the hypocrisy? SMH. Pot and kettle for sure.
