Editorial cartoonist Dana Summers, in his “Payback” cartoon in the Sept. 29 Plain Dealer, apparently believes the indictment of former FBI Director James Comey is a bite-on-the-rear of Democrats.

How does that work? Comey is a longtime Republican, same as every FBI Director since Herbert Hoover, although he said in 2018 that, “the Republican Party has left me and many others ." The Democratic Party has no love for Comey. His decision to knee-cap Hillary Clinton weeks before the 2016 election undoubtedly moved that election in Donald Trump’s favor.

The Comey indictments aren’t biting the Democrats. They are eating at the credibility of our constitutional order and clarifying the “banana republic” mindset of Trump and his minions.
