Will Comey Cost Hillary The Presidency?

[hadit]

When will Comey publicly apologize for costing Hillary the election?

So it was right for Trump to fire him then?

 

[Faun]

Good catch. Shows how it becomes criminal to fire Comey after he discloses Trump's campaign associates are under FBI scrutiny.

 

[Faun]

That really sums up the entire problem with all the political BS surrounding this event.

Well, at least one of the problems. LW hypocrisy isn't new nor surprising. We just 8 years of it.

What hypocrisy? Circumstances surrounding Comey changed between October, 2016 and May, 2017 -- namely, Comey publicly stating the FBI was investigating if folks from Trump's campaign were involved in Russia's hacking of us.

Dubious Russian Intel Doc Spurred Comey To Speak On Clinton Emails Probe

The Washington Post reported that many people within the U.S. intelligence community believed the document either contained bad intelligence or was fake.

Former FBI Director James Comey told Congress in early May that he felt “mildly nauseous” at the idea that he may have influenced the outcome of the U.S. election by speaking publicly about Hillary Clinton’s “carelessness” in using a private e-mail server as secretary of state.

The Washington Post on Wednesday shed more light on why he chose to make that announcement, which broke FBI protocol not to comment on closed cases where no charges are brought. Before Comey’s July announcement, the FBI obtained a Russian intelligence document of dubious origin and veracity that claimed to cite communications between then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch and Clinton’s campaign, in which Lynch assured a campaign staffer that the Justice Department would not closely investigate the email server.

The document did not include the email in question and merely described its contents. The Post reported that many people within the U.S. intelligence community believed the document either contained bad intelligence or was fake. FBI officials, who said the source who provided the document had offered up un-corroborated information in the past, called the document “junk” and “unreliable and based on multiple layers of hearsay.”

The agency tried to verify the document by searching for the compromising email in question and could not find it, according to the report. Then when the FBI interviewed Lynch to determine the validity of the document’s claims, she said she had never communicated with the Clinton staffer in question.

Still, the Post reported that the document had a major impact on Comey, who believed he needed to speak publicly about the Clinton email server case in order to get out ahead of accusations of coziness and special favors. Without giving Lynch a heads up, and in the heat of the general election, he publicly criticized Clinton’s handling of classified material over email, a decision some have argued helped Donald Trump clinch the presidency.

This is unconscionable! This clearly cost Hillary the election! Comey acted on a fake Russian document.

So, IOW, Trump did the right thing by firing him.

Duh, no, not after Comey announced on March 20, 2017 that Trump was under FBI criminal investigation - since July 2016.

No one believes that firing the head of the FBI stops an investigation, so that's bogus.

Fortunately for the FBI, you don't get to identify intent of obstruction.

None of us do, which is why the hyperbole is ridiculous. It seriously reminds me of the panting, "Hillary is done for sure this time. She's headed to jail!", nonsense.

 

[Wyatt earp]

It's too soon to know for sure, but if Hillary loses - it will be solely due to Comey's reckless federal malfeasance. Hillary clearly had momentum for a likely landslide victory - but now even her winning seems questionable. Anyone who values American democracy should not cheer about that.

Hillary is the one responsible for the mess she's in. She's the one who created it.

So, you agree with what Comey did - by violating FBI protocol of not releasing information regarding any internal investigations within 60 days of a presidential election - without any proof of wrongdoing?

So why you mad Obama fired Comey?

 

[Faun]

So why you mad Obama fired Comey?

WTF??

Oh sweetie...the Clinton’s cost Hitlery the presidency. The Clinton Corruption Machine far exceeds any criminal enterprise the world has ever seen. The mafia. La Eme. The Yakuza. The Sianola Cartel of Mexico. The Medellín Cartel of Columbia. None of them can compare to the level of corruption or amount of illegal money generated by the Clintons.

The 78 new pages of emails released revealed that Clinton knew of the potential security risks that came with using a personal, unsecured server.

There is no level of corruption or illegal activity that this woman and her husband have not engaged in. Violation of the Emoluments Clause. Money laundering. Tax evasion. Sexual assault. Charity Fraud. Computer Crime. Destruction of evidence.

The Dumbocrats have become so radicalized, unhinged, and disconnected that they have no idea which way is up at this point...

“These are things the Pelosi/Schumer group don’t have a clue about. It’s why they lost the election — it’s as simple as that! They are so with their elitists…and [Hillary] Clinton never knew about the real people out there and that’s why they lost the election. And that’s why they’re going to lose the next election.”

It takes a special kind of stupidity mixed with desperation to try to convince people that $1,000 bonus plus an increase of roughly $2,400 per year in take home salary is “breadcrumbs”.

Obviously true in NaziCon nut world. Where have all the honorable Republicans gone? Today's Republicans seem more like Nazis. They have lost all their truth and honor. They now live in an alternate reality - except it ain't reality. Can anyone name an honorable Republican currently serving in Congress?

 

[P@triot]

Classic projection. It’s your side of the aisle that is covering their faces and resorting to violence to force people into oppression. Pure fascism.

Can anyone name an honorable Republican currently serving in Congress?

Rand Paul. Ted Cruz. Tim Scott. Paul Ryan. Mike Lee. Marco Rubio.

Meanwhile, your entire side of the aisle is embroiled in scandal after scandal after scandal. You can’t name a single “honorable” Democrat anywhere.

Comey didn't tell us that Trump was under investigation until March 20, 2017. Shame on Comey!

The former FBI director writes that he assumed Trump would lose and that his wife and daughters voted for Clinton and participated in the Women’s March.

Comey Memoir: Hiding Clinton Email News Would've Made Her Presidency 'Illegitimate'

That was not Comey's call to make. And he got it all wrong...

Comey violated the 60-day protocol of not mentioning anything about FBI investigations prior to major elections. I hated him for that. I also hated him for not mentioning that Trump had been under FBI investigation since July 2016 - until he finally told us on March 20, 2017 (after Trump had been president for 2 months). However, after that I didn't want him fired until he finish the Trump investigation. Comey is a pompous ass, but he has more honor in his little finger than Trump has in his entire body. Comey, more than anything else, fucked Hillary out of the presidency. That is how I will always remember him.
