If only we didn't all chicken little ourselves to death on bullshit.
After all the socialism and terrorist talk, we have the FBI Director directly trying to influence an election that will enable a literal fascist to take over.
What in the fuck happened.
Comey may have thought that he understood the consequences, but he didn't seem to really grasp the magnitude of what he was doing. He will be a very good object lesson for future FBI directors (and anyone else in a similar position). Unfortunately for Comey, he will be playing the role of the dissection specimen.He did know the consequences, because he explained that in his internal letter to the bureau. My question is more what he hoped to accomplish if he was partisan, or what was his reasoning if it was just plain ineptitude.
But what about the DNC favoring Clinton, huh, huh? That's the only kind of election "influence" I care about!

Didn't say Russian involvement wasn't a problem.
Just that I believe the Russian narrative is suspect.
17 government agencies have said Russia is trying to interfere in our elections.Didn't say Russian involvement wasn't a problem.

diablos said it.
Why do you believe that it's suspect, considering the USIC was so confident that they went public?
Clinton sure does hate the Russians.
A single anonymous FBI source speaks less to me than shitloads of emails and video showing the Clinton machine in action.
I'll hold out for more FBI sources to corroborate on this one.
Trump was right! The election is rigged! In his favor ....
He actually said that an FBI director trying to alter the results of an election is somehow less damning than someone giving Hillary an easy debate question?
Refuse to believe it. Nope.
Clinton sure does hate the Russians.

Fire Comey before the election, imprison him after
Unfortunately, they probably wouldn't be much lower than they are, but still... It's insane how many people are going to bat and risking it all for a guy like this. The good thing is it won't make a difference, but still...Just imagine what his numbers might look like if he didn't have Russia(and by extension, wikileaks) going all in exclusively for him. Rigged, indeed.
It's on this very page. Though he's saying that he doesn't believe a single source, not that the story is less damninh, despite multiple federal agencies saying the same thing.
Ah... You must be one of those 100 ppp people.
But yes, there it is. That's certainly something.
Why did Obama apppoint a Republican head of CIA.
It should be assumed that all republicans are cunts, and they should not be appointed by Democrats. Hopefully the Democrats finally learned this lesson
If Trump wins should the election be nullified?
Because of this? No.
Because of anything. Russians, emails, etc.
Didn't say Russian involvement wasn't a problem.

Clinton sure does hate the Russians.
Any other peeps want to argue we need to give Comey the benefit of the doubt? No? Oh!
Destroy. Every. Aspect. Of. His. Life. Hillary and Obama. Make it so he cant see straight he is mired in so much shit. Make it so he cannot so much step foot in a government agency and he has to work at Aldi's to make ends meet.
If anyone should be locked up it's Comey
lol underrated postMore like Director Commie
Did I do that correctly?
It's crazy that it's a real possibility at this point.
His actions are extremely unethical and unprofessional, but Comey hasn't done anything illegal yet.It's crazy that it's a real possibility at this point.

So Comey destroyed his reputation and the FBI's for nothing?NBC/SM

Yo, I realize this stuff happened before many of us posting were even born, but let's not act like the FBI has a long history of being impartial.
They tried to get Martin Luther King Jr to kill himself: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2014/...er-king-jr-and-dangers-unchecked-surveillance
And read up on COINTELPRO: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/COINTELPRO
Not to mention there is tons of blatant open support for Trump in the general Law Enforcement community.
All that is to say, Comey's fucked up here but it's really not unprecedented in the slightest that the FBI would try to manipulate national politics.

Not sure the "Hatch Rule" has jail time associated with it. But depending on what an investigation uncovers, there may be something else. Someone who would do something so overtly political within 11 days of the election probably did something else wrong too.

J Edgar Hoover was a prick. But even he had the good sense of keeping his trap shut before elections.Yo, I realize this stuff happened before many of us posting were even born, but let's not act like the FBI has a long history of being impartial.

Probably a violation of the Hatch act.

Thats was J. Edgar Hoover's FBI, I think today's FBI is a different organization
Holy shit, now even Chuck Grassley is on the anti-Comey bandwagon:
I'm even seeing national media here in Mexico with headlines of "FBI accused of violating law to hurt Clinton"
@sarahmccammon
Senate judiciary committee chair Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, tells FBI Director Comey that "without additional context, your disclosure is not fair to Congress, the American people, or Secretary Clinton"
