As far as I can tell, that information is not available to the public, so for a columnist to decide what was in Comey's mind is speculation, not fact.But since the FBI is the ones not making the info available To the public, so we can decide for ourselves, all we have to go on is what perceptions we come up with based on what little info we DO have..
At this point, I am not willing to defend Comey, but I also haven't seen enough credible information to condemn him either. Originally Posted by tandyscone

Right, and North Korea is actually a democracy because their official name is Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea. Originally Posted by tandysconenot the same thing.
the national socialist german workers party (Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei) have passed socialist laws during their tenure. The NDSAP never called themselves nazi.
alot of people including the historians were duped in thinking they were right wing.
they were right wing in the sense that they were to the right of the communists, but left of center from the conservatives view point.

not the same thing.Actually it is very close to the same thing. North Korea holds elections every 5 years. Were the socialist laws that the NSDAP implemented? Given the overall body of laws and practices of the NSDAP, were the socialist laws central to or important to the NSDAP?

What parties considered the NSDAP to be left of their own position? What parties considered the NSDAP to be right of their own position? What features of Nazi Germany during the war resembled a left of center government?

(Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei) ...The NDSAP never called themselves nazi. Originally Posted by dilbert firestormThe reason the NSDAP never referred to themselves as Nazi is because Nazi was a pejorative term in use before the party took its name. Also, in German, the t in Nationale is pronounced like the z in Nazi, so it is much more likely that those calling the NSDAP Nazi did so because of the first two syllables of Nationale rather than the first syllable of Nationale and the second syllable of Sozialistische. (Or did I misunderstand why you emphasized those two syllables?)
