Why the hell are we accusing the director of the FBI of being in Russia's pocket? Do you folks understand what that sort of accusation implies? This is McArthyism pure and simple.

So what?

If they the evidence to drop soon, it's a great way to get the talk rolling. If they don't have the evidence, it's a dumb thing to publish.

Not really he did the same in 2012 to Romney over taxes and that worked quite well.

Reid knows what hes doing

This. It is extremely disrespectful, disgraceful, and I believe even sinful to criticize the FBI director in this manner.

Yea this post is just moronic considering the history of the office.  Your lack of historic understand is quite showing

The double standard here is incredible. Harry Ried is doing two things democrats have been denouncing repeatedly, 1. Making accusations that are completely baseless for political gain, and 2. Saying an agency if the government is attempting to rig the election!

The thing is, we have enough moral high ground that we can afford to knock ourselves down a few pegs for some much-needed political catharsis.

Your side is just scum.

Dems need more ruthless street fighters like Reid.  He's going to leave a void in the Democratic senate caucus, and congress generally.

One of the things I find so grating about Democrats, is that they're not prepared to get their hands dirty.

When they go low, we go high??

When they go, we go high.

When they go low low, we kick them in the nuts.

In 2012 Reid claimed that Mitt Romney paid no federal taxes -- claims which were later proven false.

That said, Comey repeatedly violates longstanding Justice Department protocol by making public announcements about the e-mail case while maintaining traditional FBI silence about the Russia case.  Especially when the latest pronouncement is a vague and open-ended letter 11 days before the Presidential election, it looks like Comey is deliberately trying to damage Secretary Clinton.

Atlas Democrats  Before this: Comey is Brave! Good Call ending the investigation!
Now: Awful terrible call from a russian sleeper! Fire comey! He should've never even been appointed! He's just a Republican hack trying to help Trump !

I think it is also important to note two things:
1. The public deserves to know about the FBI investigation before voting.
2. FBI Director Comey Has no partisan affiliation, despite being a former Republican. He is an independent.

I never called Comey good and quite frankly wanted Clinton charged with what she did months ago.  However they decided not to, and now is the not the time to deliberately re-litigate it

He's right
