San Francisco Falls in Love with Former FBI Director James Comey

"Ex-FBI chief Comey charms an S.F. audience," according to the headline leading to a report by Joe Garofoli (April 24) on Comey's appearance at the Curran Theater, where  all,\ 667 seats were taken (not all of them at the original price)!

I've been worried since Trump started having problems with the FBI that their stature would be raised as a result, so as much as I hate to interrupt the love fest SF is having with James Comey, I want to mention that Trump is not the only one who is "untethered to the truth." 

Human Rights Watch has cited the FBI as being an instigator in domestic terrorist attacks, for example.  In 2014 they reported that nearly all of the high-profile domestic terrorism plots in the US since September 11, 2011 featured the direct involvement of government agents or informants.

In reference to the American system of government (with their institutions) Comey said "No president serves long enough to screw it up."

Can the same thing be said of the FBI?

I don't think this is the kind of community-provided bench the SF Chronicle was talking about today in its article https://www.sfchronic...
