Comey not only broke long standing protocol but the Hatch Act of 1939 also

[OKTexas]

Hint to the freaking clueless, sending a notification to congress is not political activity.

Amazing to watch you accuse someone of being clueless while stating your lunacy.

Comey's letter had very real political impact. You have to retarded to argue otherwise or pretend that Comey was too stupid to realize the implications and how his vague statement will be used against Hillary.

"FBI re-opened case on Hillary! They wouldn't if they didn't have good evidence to say that? that would be crazy!"

And yes it is crazy, yes it is blatant politics from Comey.

Note to another clueless regressive. Comey didn't release the letter to the public, someone in congress did.

BTW you're the last person to call anyone retarded, you seem to have a habit of letting your little fingers out run your even smaller brain. Do you ever bother to proof read your posts before hitting the post reply button? Me thinks you're missing a word or two.

Of course they did and Comey would be RETARDED to not well know that it will be made public by Republicans and used as political tool.

I don't think he is retarded so I therefore have to believe that he knowingly did this.

So Comey is responsible for the actions of people in congress?

A simple yes or no is all that's required, no assumptions or spin needed.

[Mad Scientist]

Not too long ago you Dims loved Comey. Now you treat him like he's a Russian spy.

Since Comey is the lead investigator in this case, it wouldn't take long for a Federal District Court, or even the U.S. Supreme Court to say BURN IT ALL on any evidence that Comey has collected.

The Justice Department may even close this case immediately.

No court would EVER say burn it all. They cant.

You get that idea from a TV show?

After being warned by the Justice Department to NOT send this letter he did it anyway. Clearly he knew he was over stepping his boundaries.

Right now there are millions of people on the "fence" that are thinking--maybe Hillary Clinton has been telling us the truth for the last 25 years. There is a VAST Reich wing conspiracy against her.

Dear Hillary: How Very Dare You!

They sure did it with Benghazi--and it really couldn't be better stated than this: "Herein lies a lesson for Republicans who are perpetually trying to appease the far right: It’s a fool’s errand. They went to the tea party – and now they’re taking Donald Trump to the prom.Likewise, then-House Speaker John Boehner named the Benghazi committee because activists were dissatisfied that seven previous congressional investigations had failed to uncover major scandal material. Now an eighth has produced more of the same – and the agitators are as agitated as ever.

There’s a certain twisted logic to this. The unhinged right starts with the ideologically satisfying answer – President Obama and Hillary Clinton are guilty of horrible Benghazi-related wrongdoing – and then works backwards, looking for “proof” that matches the conclusion. When their ostensible allies fail to tell these activists what they want to hear, they could reevaluate their bogus assumptions, but it’s vastly easier to believe Republicans have let them down.

This is what it’s come to: Benghazi conspiracy theorists are so creative, and so unmoved by evidence or reason, that they can convince themselves that congressional Republicans are in on the conspiracy.

Who at justice warned him, give me a name.

Who forced the hildabitch to set up the server in her basement?

Who forced the hildabitch to violate federal records keeping laws?

Who forced the hildabitch to violate FOIA laws?

Who forced the hildabitch to violate national security laws?

Who forced the hildabitch to try to keep the existence of the server secret for almost 6 years?

Who forced the hildabitch to obstruct justice by destroying devices she used?

Who forced the hildabitch to obstruct justice by deleting work related emails?

Who forced the hildabitch to obstruct justice by using bleach bit to hide emails.

Who forced the hildabitch to obstruct justice by committing perjury numerous times before congress?

Come on hero tell everyone who forced her to do any of these things, give us names and dates.

Hillary does not know how to tell the truth, and sooner or later you will figure that out.

No? You spent a lot of time figuring who the real liar is?

 

[Weatherman2020]

As you know Comey sent a letter to congress, (after being advised NOT to by the Department of Justice. With their explanation that long standing protocol is that you don't make those kind of announcements within 60 days of an election). This in an effort to insure that U.S. Government agencies are not looked at, as trying to deliberately sway an outcome of an election. Comey ignored that advise and sent a very vague letter to congress, that was in effect opening a door shouting more emails, and then slamming it shut again, just 11 days before a National election.

CNN confirms James Comey violated FBI policy today by trying to sabotage Hillary Clinton

Keep in mind that Comey is the investigator, not the prosecutor. It's his job to find and deliver evidence to the Justice Department, and it is the Justice Department's responsibility to review the evidence, and it's their decision, and their's alone to decide if they will file charges or not.

Comey may have also broken the Hatch ACT of 1939. "The Hatch Act of 1939, officially An Act to Prevent Pernicious Political Activities, is a United States federal law whose main provision prohibits employees in the executive branch of the federal government, except the president, vice-president, and certain designated high-level officials of that branch, from engaging in some forms of political activity.

Agencies and employees prohibited from engaging in partisan political activity
Employees of the following agencies (or agency components), or in the following categories, are subject to more extensive restrictions on their political activities than employees in other Departments and agencies:

• Administrative law judges (positions described at 5 U.S.C. § 5372)
• Central Intelligence Agency
• Contract Appeals Boards (positions described at 5 U.S.C. § 5372a)
• Criminal Division (Department of Justice)

Comey PROBLEM one WARNING: We know that Comey was advised against sending this vague letter to congress 11 days prior to a National Election. He did it anyway.
Justice officials warned FBI that Comey’s decision to update Congress was not consistent with department policy

Comey PROBLEM two INTENT: Comey made a statement to his aids via "email" when he was questioned about his motive for doing this that stated: "Of course, we don’t ordinarily tell Congress about ongoing investigations, but here I feel an obligation to do so given that I testified repeatedly in recent months that our investigation was completed. "I also think it would be misleading to the American people were we not to supplement the record." The last sentence being intent on intervening into a National Election to inform the American public.

It's clear that Comey has committed an illegal act to intervene or sway a National Election. Be assured that a full investigation will proceed.

Disgusting how voters now know about who they are voting for.

60 killed while we were at war under Bush and guess who was President when this happened?

"At 10:30 a.m. local time, a massive truck bomb explodes outside the U.S. embassy in Nairobi, Kenya. Minutes later, another truck bomb detonated outside the U.S. embassy in Dar es Salaam, the capital of neighboring Tanzania. The dual terrorist attacks killed 224 people, including 12 Americans, and wounded more than 4,500. The United States accused Saudi exile Osama bin Laden, a proponent of international terrorism against America, of masterminding the bombings."

If you don't know, it was the two for one Clintons.

A simple yes or no is all that's required, no assumptions or spin needed.

Comey is responsible for mis-information by omission of critical facts of the matter in his letter to congressmen.

That's a flat out lie. He told congress, both republicans and commiecrats, that the pertinence of the discovery had yet to be determined. He had to reopen the investigation to get the warrants necessary to make that determination. BTW he promised congress under oath that he would inform them of any changes.

Investigation was never technically closed within FBI, so what you claim about need to re-open it is straight bullshit.

There was nothing about lack of warrant in his letter and that they didn't look at any emails yet. There was no clear communication that there was absolutely no new evidence against Hillary.

Comey's letter was used to misinform the public and he of course reasonably knew that it would be.

Why do you feel the need to lie so often?

FBI Director James Comey said he’s not going to reopen the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s emails, telling Congress on Wednesday that none of the recent revelations since he closed the case in July “would come near” to triggering that extraordinary step.

He also refused to say if he’s investigating whether Mrs. Clinton lied in her testimony to Congress about her emails — but said they have received referrals from Congress asking for a new probe.

The most deplorable election in my life time. no rock too covered with slime to drag out & smear around. Comey doing his job, or doing a job on Hillary. if we ever know that answer I will be surprised.

 

[easyt65]

Comey didn't break the Hatch Act. Even if he did all he has to do is say, 'I'm sorry' and the issue is moot, as demonstrated by Barry, Julian Castro, and harry Reid.

Publicly the case was pronounced closed but INTERNALLY IN FBI IT WAS NOT actually closed yet due to bureaucratic reasons.

Further, all that is irrelevant to the fact the Comey's letter was a prop used to misinform the public 11 days before election.

 

[easyt65]

What part of 're-opened' do you not understand?

Not the FBI has also been, and still is, investigating the Clinton Foundation - a separate FBI investigation.

[P@triot]

There is NOTHING from FBI saying that they have found something on Hillary. NOTHING. But the public has been misinformed to the contrary.

Proof that antontoo is an extremely gullible partisan hack. If the "public has been misinformed to the contrary" then how the fuck would you know that there is (and I quote) "nothing from the FBI saying they have found something on Hillary"?!? You're part of the public you douche. So unless you're going to attempt to claim that you work for the F.B.I., you just completely contradicted yourself!!!
