The definition that a judge gives a jury in a charge on gross negligence includes the words ‘extremely negligent.’ They are one in the same thing. So, he has found that she violated 18 United States Code Section 793 except he can’t somehow bring himself to the conclusion that she should be indicted for it – which says to me he’s putting her above the law,”

Since this morning, I have seen where both Rudy Giulliani (who was Comey's boss at DOJ for a while) and retired FBI Asst. Dir. James Kallstrom have both expressed disappointment in Comey... Kallstrom to the point of implying that he has lost respect for him. That's really saying something.
I get that Comey may have thought he was in "rock/hard place" territory. Perhaps, he thought he'd get grief from the AG if he did recommend indictment and she had to overrule him publicly. Knowing that she would most likely refuse to indict, he probably thought it not worth the trouble of "swimming upstream."
But he should have. If he truly believed what he laid out in the 1st 10 minutes of his address, he should have recommended indictment and swam upstream... for the sake of his own personal integrity. Now, he seems to have lost that integrity, and in the minds of some of his closest colleagues. Now, he should resign to save it, rather than confirm it. :facepalm:
