Journalist Paul Sperry noted on Wednesday that former FBI Director James Comey admitted in a 2003 interview to having voted Communist before casting his ballot for Jimmy Carter in 1980.
Former CIA Director John Brennan, meanwhile, admitted in 2016 to voting Communist in the 1970s. When asked at the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation’s annual conference whether past activism would create a barrier for diverse candidates who want to enter the intelligence community, Brennan said that he was forced to admit to voting for Communist Gus Hall for president in 1976, according to CNN.
It appeared to say that Brennan and Clapper claim they told James Comey NOT to use the golden showers dossier to get eavesdropping warrant on Trump campaign aide. I’m not a fan of either of those guys, just mentioning a different angle.
I bring up the “17 intel agencies” gambit because that’s a road map (or card deck of HVT’s if you will) on who needs to be investigated with a microscope. :mad:

Cant find that admission.
Sperry twitter says:
WTF?! Former FBI Director James Comey started out as a Communist like CIA Director John Brennan in the 1970s: “I’d moved from Communist to whatever I am now,”
And the The actual quote is:
“In college, I was left of center,” Comey told New York Magazine, and through a gradual process I found myself more comfortable with a lot of the ideas and approaches the Republicans were using.” He voted for Carter in 1980, but in ’84, “I voted for Reagan—I’d moved from Communist to whatever I am now. I’m not even sure how to characterize myself politically. Maybe at some point, I’ll have to figure it out.”
Seems like writer Tyler Durden has engaged in some #FakeNews
My take: The phrase “whatever I am now” bothers me. “Whatever he is now” is a corrupt, vindictive little bureaucrat. Oh, and he’s at least still acting like some sort of Soviet Kommissar, so the shoe still fits. Eff him.
He changed what Sperry said to: “Comey admitted in a 2003 interview to having voted Communist before casting his ballot for Jimmy Carter in 1980.”
Yet he provides not evidence whatsover Comey voted for a Communist. Comey said he voted Carter/80 and Reagan/84. Both Carter and Reagan were strongly anti-Communist at the time. So which communist did he vote BEFORE Carter in 1980, given he was too young to vote in 1976?
