In the former case, one person did another person dirt during the campaign. Personal revenge was a suggested option but I seriously doubt would have been acted on. In the latter case, a sitting President is firing the FBI chief, for investigating him. This is beyond personalities and into possible obstruction of justice. An attack on a functioning (for the time being) democracy.
No hypocrisy Carmen. You personally aren’t that important, but elected offices are.
Timing is important. And Comey was not fired for helping president Trump at a crucial time during the election, but for deepening the investigations into his people and quite possibly Trump himself.
There were good reasons to fire Comey, IF he had been fired for those reasons. Investigating Trump and getting too close to finding out what really happened (as Trump effectively admitted in his interview with Lester Holt and, worse, in comments directly to the Russians in the Oval Office), which is why he was really fired, was not a good reason and smacks of obstruction of justice.
I haven’t read this comic long enough to know for sure what’s up, but if she is wondering why democrats? want to be nice to her, maybe that they don’t hang on to grudges that long.

So, we’re to presume Carmen is Scott’s stand in for Comey? Funny. I don’t recall Carmen calling for an investigation back then.

Actually, I think there are niceties, enough to separate the two situations.

Meanwhile the whole world hates America because we elected a republican idiot who is destroying the country.

No, Comey still is not my hero. I just hope he has the guts to do the right thing, and not just because he was fired.
