i wrote extensively on this point before and after the election, and it's there in the side (you can even search...), but i'll summarize the point for the greater good.

we're unravelling many layers, here. i'll admit that my very recent statements can be easily misunderstood if you haven't been reading this space for the last several months.

1) i spent a lot of time analysing polls, and concluded that they were generally skewed in favour of donald trump by using sneaky sampling tricks.
2) i argued strongly that the media was overwhelmingly pro-trump from the very start, although this was often done in sneaky ways, like bringing kellyanne conway on and then letting her win the argument (and letting her put down all kinds of code).
3) putting the situation in context, i developed the following theory - before the election actually happened: 

a) the clinton emails were leaked not by russia, but by the fbi.
b) the purpose of leaking the emails was to create an official story that the media and establishment could cite as to how it is that trump could possibly win, because:
c) the deep state had already decided that it was going to pick trump over clinton.

so, yes - it's an establishment cover. but, that doesn't relieve comey of responsibility so much as it is the explanation of why it's his responsibility.

i further speculated, citing some specific and curious quotes, that clinton appeared to be at war with specific sections of the security establishment, who saw a clinton presidency as a potential security nightmare. i don't think assange is an intelligence agent, but i think he was badly manipulated by american intelligence (and that he has no idea what's actually happening in the world anymore). specifically, clinton was for sale to foreign influences. she couldn't be allowed to win.

i didn't know how they were doing this, i just knew that it was obvious that it was happening. after the election, the methods were revealed: software like crosscheck, voter id laws (this is what carried wisconsin, not opposition to nafta), restricted access to voting stations (arizona was brutal...), etc.

so, when i said that comey was directly responsible, i should have clarified the point a little. but, i do still think it is the case.

and, i cannot in good faith oppose his firing.

i will also add that i predicted, before the election, that the deep state was going to use the russian conspiracy theory both as a distraction from it's own responsibility in controlling the outcome of the election and as a vehicle to carry out the final phase of operation "fuck clinton" - the installation of mike pence as president. that was the plan from the start.
