James @Comey in his Dec 2018 House testimony: "the best investigations are done promptly...before things sit around & people have an opportunity to take your investigation in different directions. You jump on it; you go get an interview done. That's how I've always investigated"

After authorizing the formal opening of the Russia/Trump investigation on July 31 2016, supposedly "sparked" by @GeorgePapa19 having inside knowledge of the DNC hack and Russian interference, @Comey then waited **5 months and 28 days** to interview @GeorgePapa19 🤔🤔🤔

As @dbongino would say, quoting Bill Clinton? "Same guy, same guy".

Oh and the context of @Comey talking about ensuring a quick investigation and "jumping" on a interview is justifying the actions taken against @GenFlynn
