The seriousness of what Comey did if these are true

[Blair]

In all fairness it was catch 22 because it emerged in a month that there was 'evidence on Anthony Weiner computer' of the emails but we didn't release it because we didn't want to affect the election.

There's a wider point about the endless investigations of Hillary that contribute nothing but even as a relative hack it's funny watching Dems who praised Comeny in June now hating on him, and the oppo with Trump supporters

This isn't a remarkable standard; being under investigation would be a disqualifier for any prospective VICE Presidential candidate, so why didn't this render Mrs. Clinton's PRESIDENTIAL campaign a non-starter?  

Being a rapist, fascist, xenophobe who constantly flirts with Ku Klux Clan and conspiracy theorists and a none-tax-payer who's constantly broken the law by not paying his workers and contractors at all, while at the same time having broken the law big time both with his foundation (of which at least 90% of its income has gone into his own pockets) and Trump University, which has been proven to be not just one of the biggest pyramide schemes in the US' history, but anywhere in the world - all of this is normally multiple times excluding from anyone even coming near the nomination of a major party. So how on earth do you defend that?

[BoAtlantis]

Why did Democrats praise Comey when he decided not to investigate?  Why are they mad at him now?

Why did Republicans denounce Comey when he decided not to investigate? Why are they happy at him now?

from my recollections most Dems were crapping at Comey in June

It is a large amount of republican revisionism on that part.

Stop trolling. You know as well as I do that the Justice Department had not given the FBI a warrant to search Wiener's laptop. By sending this letter, Comey has formed a scandal out of what could be absolutely nothing.

As I said, he did his job as far as we know. Pardon me, but I have more trust in Comey (FBI Director) than you (an anonym poster)

Yet you can't explain away a sudden disregard for regulation after having followed it in a sacrosanct way up to this point. It really does feel like he was bought.

Why explain away rumors? I'm not questioning Obama's judgement. If you do, it is because he is Black, you racict!

(wow, it is so nice to use Black/Woman card instead of the real arguments)

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

He might just be covering for himself.  Think about how bad he'd look if something egregious were to come up about Hillary around Thanksgiving and Comey failed to tell us before the election.  Hillary Clinton was right to encourage him to release everything.   

And he should release everything.  Now.

When this is over, the Democratic Party should be taken to task for actively backing a candidate under criminal investigation by the FBI.  They have a stable of attractive candidates; why did they foist Hillary Clinton and her baggage on America? 

And why did the Republican Party foist a candidate who has molested women on us?
