Just cancel House of Cards. They can't top this election.
For real. The writers must be holding their heads in their hands in defeat.

Removal from office is the only penalty.This isn't, to the best of my knowledge, a criminal matter.
Lol I'm sure this election deliversFor real. The writers must be holding their heads in their hands in defeat.

No. Comey not commenting on Russian actions on the election is actually an example of him doing his job properly. Unless there's a smoking gun, the FBI isn't supposed to say a damned thing.At best, he chose to serve his private political view over his duty to his country.
At worse...isn't he aiding and abetting foreign espionage?
Is attempting to hide the connections between Trump and Russian cyber terrorists treason?

No, he was still doing his job investigating it and it's normal for stuff like this to not be public while it's still under investigation. The only thing he violated by not publicly announcing it while at the same time announcing the email stuff is the hatch act.
People jump to treason waaaaay too quickly in these situations.
Edit: Double beat.
The direct connection isn't even hidden, it's Paul Manafort. He got outted as still working on Russias dime (technically their puppet party in Ukraine) when he moved back to the US.At best, he chose to serve his private political view over his duty to his country.

Definitely not. It would be just as bad for Comey to release details of the Trump investigation as it is for him to release details of the Clinton campaign. This goes beyond politics and elections, and speaks to the core of what a functional democracy is. Two wrongs in this scenario would be a lot worse than one.Now release the letter about the Russian investigation and we're even.
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.

the source we have is not the CNBC source
Says this but just this last Friday he throws Hillary under the bus. Why does this man still have his job is a serious question I have.

The timing of releasing his letter and Assange's wikileaks (email dump updates) being around the same time strikes it very odd to me...
They've been dumping e-mails every day, haven't they?
When has Wikileaks not been making email dump updates?The timing of releasing his letter and Assange's wikileaks (email dump updates) being around the same time strikes it very odd to me...

Yes but the last ones is supposedly said to be the emails to definitely "lock her up".They've been dumping e-mails every day, haven't they?

Huffington Post now reporting the story. They're citing their own source is independent of CNBC's.

So does this mean Harry Reid wasn't full of shit about the FBI knowing of some Russia/Trump connections?
Was probably a safe gambit. It was pretty obvious.the connections were there. So he could easily assume the intelligence and law enforcement aspects of the government knew.

Well shit.
If these emails don't produce fruit and don't do so fast then Comey is going to get railed.
The same reason he didn't lose his job after standing up to the bush white house over domestic surveillance . His reputation in DC and the Bureau was amazing and almost mythical. Wonder what it is about Hillary that would make him throw it away.
Well shit.

Like, I really don't think Comey has some kind of personal or political vendetta against Hillary Clinton or anything like that. I suspect he was probably worried about further political attack from the right if/once it was revealed that he hadn't informed the American public about Huma's emails until after the election, despite this being standard operating procedure. Basically, I suspect this is probably more a case of cowardly appeasement of an increasingly lunatic GOP ( a la his press conference) than it is active sabotage of the Democratic party. But the effect of course is still indistinguishable from active sabotage and dude is unfit for his job because of it.
