Comey has violated the Hatch Act for politicizing the office of the FBI. He should resign or be dismissed.
Trump supporters don't care about integrity or lawfulness, all they care about is winning, even if it means trashing our institutions. Disgusting.
To be fair neither does team HRC. Just being objective here, Comey played politics here. He may or may not have significant emails but should not have come forward unless he did. What he did was potentially effect an election without verifying evidence. This is partisan and should be investigated. If HRC wins expect he will pay the price.
Comey has held off a grand jury and recommending indictment all along. Why? Because Obama would just pardon her and we all know that for fact. However, to pardon someone there has to be a specific charge. A specific case. Even the president cannot just issue a blank check pardon. To do so would be issuing someone a license to commit crimes. It still needs specific reasons for the pardon. Yes, they can pardon someone not yet convicted, but there has to be a specific case. "You are charged with this, this and this."
Comey might be delaying this, in case she is elected, takes office and then Obama cannot pardon her. Too late. Again, this is IF she got elected.
All of this may have went down the way it is, to avoid her being Pardoned. Also, there is likely some evidence in this that gets Obama involved in some of this.
Regardless Dems, the Clintons are finished.
You have Trump who is ready and shown he will hit the ground running and get things done immediately. And you have Hillary, who if elected will be before congress under indictment, under investigation, surrounded by dirty lawyers, who will not be able to do anything.
Think people, think. You do not have to like Trump, you do not have to vote for him, but you cannot vote for this woman. She's cooked anyway you slice it.
Or he is a political operative who will be investigated after HRC is elected. He may have violated ethical rules that may lead to his termination and loss of pension.
He finds new information regarding a case; he wants to investigate the information.
It would seem that the evidence of Hillary's, et al's, corruption and crimes captured in pedophile Weiner's electronic devices are so egregious that Comey would be remiss if he didn't state there's an issue prior to the election.
Surely you are not so silly as to actually believe this ? The FBI investigates all manner of crimes worse than a few improperly handled emails , yet your excuse for the director violating policy and releasing sensitive information about an investigation right before an election is this desperate nonsense ?
What's starting to happen is people , including even Republican politicians , are realizing just how questionable and improper Comeys actions were . He has ruined his own career if nothing else .
That one side is gleeful that a guy skirted official policy to influence an election is indicative of the integrity of that side . Not that the Dems are any better , but the GOP is as lacking in honesty and integrity by being so happy that a law enforcement official violated departmental policy to help their candidate .This is why I have nothing but scorn for partisan hackery . Partisanship short circuits the reasoning parts of your brain and destroys your moral integrity .
AG Lynch: Comey Violated Policy Against Interfering With An Election
"Lynch asked Comey to follow Justice Department policy of not commenting on investigations or taking steps which could have an effect on the outcome of an election."
"The former senior Justice Department official told the New Yorker that Comey's decision was "aberrational" and "violates decades of practice."
"It impugns the integrity and reputation of the candidate, even though there’s no finding by a court, or in this instance even an indictment," the official said.
