    Feel free to quote any post of mine where I praised the FBI. You're just making (*)(*)(*)(*) up when you have no clue about what you are talking about. As usual.

    To the contrary, I immediately criticized Comey for his highly improper commentary bashing Clinton when he announced there wasn't evidence to support charges.

    Comey stressed in his letter that the FBI could not yet assess "whether or not this material may be significant," or how long it might take to run down the new investigative leads.

    "In connection with an unrelated case, the FBI has learned of the existence of emails that appear to be pertinent to the investigation," Comey wrote. "I agreed that the FBI should take appropriate investigative steps designed to allow investigators to review these emails to determine whether they contain classified information, as well as to assess their importance to our investigation."

    He doesn't know if they contained classified material, he doesn't even know whether they contain significant material.

    It is absolutely improper for the FBI or prosecutor to try to influence an election. That is exactly what he is doing, and not for the first time.

    Either that or a blowhard ******** who has 4000 pending lawsuits for cheating bussiness associates, a federal racketeering case for the fraudulans Trump University, a child rape case around the bend and 10 pending sexual harassment cases. Remember, it was a sexual harassment case that got old Willy in trouble. What a pair!

    By "dumping" on Hillary, you mean laying out the pertinent facts of the investigation? Right?
    And he didn't "admit" there was insufficient grounds to charge Hillary...Hillary's lying to the FBI were reason enough to indict.

    This brief snippet of Trey Gowdy grilling Comey is proof of that: GOWDY: Good morning, Director Comey. Secretary Clinton said she never sent or received classified information over her private e-mail. Was that true?

    COMEY: Our investigation found that there was classified information sent —

    GOWDY: So it was not true?

    COMEY: That’s what I said. http://thefederalist.com/2016/07/07...i-director-james-comey-about-hillary-clinton/

    Comey, in an inexplicable bit of cowardice from a supposedly independent straight shooter, demonstrates he chose not to prosecute although he could have. He has a cornucopia of reasons to prosecute, if he weren't doing his employer's bidding, the destruction of 33,000 emails by Clinton, just for starters.

    Though Comey already has through his dereliction of duty, as he admitted anyone else doing what Clinton did (as if anyone else could do what she did) would be prosecuted and face legal "sanctions".

    Comey informed members of Congress.
    They made this issue public, to the degree it is. Can you not state one single honest thing, for the novelty of it all, if nothing else?

    No. I mean when he admitted there wasn't evidence to charge Clinton,

    ... Mr. Comey rebuked Mrs. Clinton as being “extremely careless” in using a private email address and server. He raised questions about her judgment, contradicted statements she has made about her email practices, said it was possible that hostile foreign governments had gained access to her account, and declared that a person still employed by the government — Mrs. Clinton left the State Department in 2013 — could have faced disciplinary action for doing what she did.


    http://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/06/us/politics/hillary-clinton-fbi-email-comey.html?_r=0

    That kind of commentary on a case, and especially for a political candidate, is highly improper and an obvious attempt to smear Clinton.


    To warrant a criminal charge, Mr. Comey said, there had to be evidence that Mrs. Clinton intentionally transmitted or willfully mishandled classified information. The F.B.I. found neither, and as a result, he said, “our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case.”


    http://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/06/us/politics/hillary-clinton-fbi-email-comey.html?_r=0

    Your out of context "snipet" has been rebutted in numerous threads.

    Comey, intially a Republican appointee, has now twice demonstrated his willingness to improperly comment to influence the election to hurt Clinton, despite admitting there was insufficient grounds to charge Clinton. He should resign or be fired.

    Link and quote where he stated that, please.

    Comey knew his statement would be made public. It was an open letter. You're trying to say he thought this would not come out and influence the election?

    Can you not state one single honest thing, if for the novelty of it all, if nothing else?

    Wrong.

    I immediately criticized Comey for his highly improper commentary bashing Clinton when he announced there wasn't evidence to support charges.

    This is the same guy Trump was accusing of being part of the rigged system, but now he suddently has "great respect" for.

    LOL, from the guys who brought us Donald.

    I must agree with Iriemon. This big "shocker" is just gratuitous sucker-bait for us the Right to chase after, making fools out of ourselves.

    Hint: No matter WHAT is in these hooptie Friday afternoon "stunner" emails, nobody is going to be able to prove INTENT! Comey already decided, entirely on his own, that if you can't prove intent, you don't have ANYTHING. So, this whole thing is just about Comey trying to cover his own ass and not look like a total stooge for his Paymasters....

    I'll bet that off-camera, where you can't see them, all these manipulating, scheming crudballs are laughing their asses off at what fools they're going to make out of us on the Right because we're going to "bite" on this bait....

    It's the Anthony Weiner investigation and because his wife works for Hillary, it's a computer that is in the mix so it had to be mentioned and the emails looked at. Just heard that there are probably many emails there that are duplicates of the last go-round. This is just fodder for the crazies.

    All they had to hear was "Hillary" and "email" in the same sentence, and they started salivating like a hormonal frat boy on prom night.

    Hillary will STILL WIN. No Sweat.

    Early voting has already started and the whole "email thing" is already baked in to people's voting decisions.

    Her final margin might lose a couple of points, but she still wins. Bank it.

    But publicly announcing they are reopening a criminal investigation involving Clinton just days before the election is a completely improper attempt to influence the election and hurt Clinton, when they don't even know what the emails contain or if there confidential information in them.

    He should resign. Or get fired.

    But, perhaps the American people are not as stupid as Hillary supporters believe them to be? We shall see, I reckon, if Hillary is right about them. She has a very low opinion of people unless they are rich enough to make her rich.

    If she does manage to win, it would be like having no one in the oval office at all. She has too much baggage hanging off her, and will be castrated and just take up space and eat the food we buy for her. Bill will have a grand old time though. They better inventory everything in the white house, given what they did when they left the last time. LOL

    My biggest kick out of this deal is watching MSM especially the Clinton News Network dance like witches being burned at the stake. And the Podesta blowup at the FBI was priceless. This could not have come at a better time, and I hear that the next few wilkileaks contain the bombshell we have been waiting for. Perhaps it will show that intent comey could not find in the first investigation. Nothing would satisfy the people who know she is a criminal more than if she is handcuffed and we get a picture of it at some point. At least that would give americans some confidence that we do not have a corrupt justice system. For that is what many non democrats believe today.

    Americans are a forgiving people so we can forgive her supporters for choosing to be blind and supporting someone who anyone with a good brain knows is as dirty as they come. I know it is probably hard for her supporters to believe that she really is as corrupt and criminal as we have ever seen. They want to give her the benefit of the doubt. It is not a crime to be gullible. Or bad for that matter. They trusted in her, and they trusted in the untrustworthy. And it is hard to believe she is guilty of all of the things she has been accused of. For it makes her so corrupt as to be unbelievable and no one can be that corrupt. Yet she is.

    It may turn out to be the best poetic justice ever for the DNC who worked their rigged system hard to anoint their queen. As a sanders supporter this would be wonderful to see such poetic justice for the DNC of the Antidemocratic Party that belongs in a banana republic.

    Of course, the counter argument is:

    What if there really was "something" there?

    Then, if it proved to be a real scandal and it was revealed after the election, he gets crucified for not revealing it.

    Rock and a hard place.

    That said, I personally disagree with his decision to reveal this info.

    You mean in contrast to the "utterly amoral" "pathological liar" "fraudster," “narcissist" "phony" "con man" who is "wholly unprepared to be president""?

    And that's just what leading Republicans and conservatives say about him.

    He admitted he has no idea what is in the emails, whether there is anything significant, or even whether there is anything classified in those emails.

    You don't make a public announcement like that that you know is going to influence an election based on nothing more than pure speculation. That is completely improper.

    Comey should resign or be fired.

    I have had one in the past and I don't know the law was broken. Share with us your legal background and expertise and analysis to make that claim.

    That's hyper chutzpah considering Comey did her the biggest favor any criminal has ever gotten by covering for her. As I pointed out already, lying to the FBI is a good starting place though if Comey wished he could have charged her with any number of crimes.


    "Reasonable" prosecutors have disagreed and
    as already stated, there were a number of crimes Hillary Clinton got a pass from Comey on...lying to the FBI itself just being a starter.


    It's not of context nor can any "rebuttals" alluded to change what Gowdy got Comey to admit. But nice try.



    But not for the reasons you list. Quite the opposite.
    Far from "hurting" Clinton when he inexplicably decided the law did not apply to Hillary Rodham Clinton his decision not to recommend prosecution was the biggest shot in the arm her campaign could have possibly received. Your disingenuous nonsense, notwithstanding.


    Like you never heard this before. https://www.fbi.gov/news/pressrel/p...-clinton2019s-use-of-a-personal-e-mail-system
    "To be clear, this is not to suggest that in similar circumstances, a person who engaged in this activity would face no consequences. To the contrary, those individuals are often subject to security or administrative sanctions."

    Is he not supposed to do his job for fear of hurting the
    unethical and illegal candidacy of Hillary Clinton? Even after having saved it once already? That's rich and it takes shameless audacity to claim this over and over again. What an insight it provides.

    And in spite of all you've written in that wall of text, one FACT remains:

    Hillary Will STILL WIN. Bank it.

    If Trump wasn't on the other side, something like today's revelations might actually move the needle in a decisive way.

    But, because Trump is on the other side, Hillary WINS (in spite of it all).

    Improperly commenting on the investigation by calling Clinton's acts improper or negligent the way Comey did when he admitted there was not basis for charging Clinton was no favor to Clinton.

    "Reasonable" meaning the RW propaganda?

    It absolutely is.

    Clinton wasn't charged because there was no evidence to charge her.

    For Comey to then comment on the investigation and dump on her was highly improper and shows hows he's been trying to influence the election against her.
    You're saying security and administrative sanctions are the same as a criminal prosecution now?

    And you had the gall to lecture me about not being honest?

    His job is not to influence elections, speculating on a bunch of emails he has not idea what is in them, whether they contain significant material or even if they contained classified information.

    His statement about re-opening the investigation based on nothing more than speculation is a gross dereliction of his duties and obligations.

    He should resign and apologize to try to mitigate some of the improper damage he has done.

    Why are we finding new emails? They have been under subpoena for months. Clinton said they had turn over everything and more. Failure to comply with a subpoena is a felony.

    I don't think it will affect even one vote. The obnoxious thing is that the right wing media and right wing crazies will take what amounts to bull-(*)(*)(*)(*) and go on and on and on and on and on and......................................................you get the picture.
