The usual way to release information like that is to release a report, and go to hearings, not hold a press conference.
I think there is a fine argument to make that he is a complete moron. His comical mishandling of this entire investigation screams it loud and clear.Wittingly. He's not an idiot. He's the fucking director of the FBI, not a Senator. (and he's done this before). But this isn't a court room. You don't have to play "I'll give him the benefit of the doubt until we've done a billion dollar inquiry" here on GAF.
Yes, as I put in my edited post, that too was politically motivated. The director of the FBI should not be partisan.
Where was the investigation in to Drumpf's Russian ties?
I don't know what you're on about.Which he did.
And he found Clinton to be in the clear. If he was sp biased, he could have taken the path to holding this out and letting it be the dominant topic of the election, giving Trump an easy pass. Can you agree that that would be the easy way to influence the election?
Could Comey have anticipated the Wiener emails to this point to make this move three months ago?

Comey is a stupid fuck. And i cant wait for Hillary to ruin his career.

What did Trump do with the Russians as a private citizen that was illegal?
The big reason we shouldn't elect him is because as a private citizen he did do business which he is legally allowed to do unless there is an embargo (like Cuba which he broke).
I don't know what you're on about.
Clinton didn't break any law. In order to recommend an indictment to DoJ, the FBI needs to uncover an intentional criminal intent from Clinton. Comey could find nothing of the sort, so it doesn't make sense for him to recommend an indictment when there is no case!
That is incredibly uncalled for. As a human, not a democrat or a republican. Like fuck, you people are so partisan its making you forget humanity over partisanship. You would seriously seek harm rather than think of any way this could not be politically motivated.
Yeah, I think that it's pretty obvious that Comey has shown himself to be utterly stupid. The FBI is blatantly not allowed to be political, and here we have him interfering with a Presidential election! An election for his direct boss - it's utterly unconscionable.Comey is a goddamned idiot. He's blind to what his party has become. He thought he could toss them a bone like this and they'd know what to do with it.
He deserves all the shame he gets.

His name is Manafort.
But there was no case to draw out. How can he make a case out of nothingness? Wouldn't DoJ ask FBI for reasoning for recommendation of an indictment? Proofs?I'm making the point that if he was so politically motivated, he would have drawn out the case for the last three months rather than announcing she was in the clear, like he did!
I think The Young Turks, some proven Hillary haters, sum this up pretty nicely.
Its just unconscionable, no matter how you feel about Hillary. Even if you support Trump, coming out with this vague bullshit and no information.

Uhhh, the time for "humanity" over partisanship is looooooooong passed. They nominated Drumpf.
What was illegal?
What he probably did was against America's best interests and that is a perfectly great argument to make regarding whether or not to vote Trump but he didn't do anything illegal. FBI doesn't investigate possible conflicts of interest. Clint could have violated the espionage act which she didn't. What law did Trump break to warrant FBI investigation?

lol, even they think this is bullshit and Comey is a jackass?
Hey, it's not "you people". There are plenty of Hillary supporters in this thread that are not calling for his head. Let Amir0x speak for himself and if you have a problem with what he said I'm sure he'll respond. I don't wish ruin on anybody. Well, maybe Drumpf... I'd have to think about that.
lol, even they think this is bullshit and Comey is a jackass?
The only people who don't are Breitbart, FOX, and the usual suspects here we've been seeing the last couple of pages. It's indefensible.
Comey nominated Drumpf?
He voted for Drumpf?
He supports Drumpf?
You aren't oroviding any facts for partisanship except that you feel that there is an injustince. That feeling may be validated and be directed towards clarification but riding on that feeling towards cognitive precommitments is folly.
So, having a direct link to a hostile foreign influence isn't nearly as bad as the email servers?
Come. The. Fuck. On.
No, he shouldn't have. By his own admission, holding a press conference like that (especially when the ultimate recommendation is *not* to indict) is also highly unusual.
He made his bed.That is incredibly uncalled for. As a human, not a democrat or a republican. Like fuck, you people are so partisan its making you forget humanity over partisanship. You would seriously seek harm rather than think of any way this could not be politically motivated.
What did he do that was illegal that warrants investigation???
Come. The. Fuck. On.
Sexual assault accusations? Yes. Business in Russia? Anyone is allowed to operate in Russia including fucking McDonalds. Should we investigate the CEO of McDonalds?
Desperation move, and unbelievably blatant in its intent so close to the election.
You don't make an announcement like this when you haven't done anything yet. With something of real substance (I.e. in a completed report), maybe - not "there could be something possibly, but we haven't read them yet".
Disgusting. Extremely sad that some people will let something like this influence their votes. So easily manipulated.
Hillary didn't do anything illegal either. Won't convince the "lock her up" crowd. Meanwhile, Drumpf is an infantile 3rd world patriarchal exploitative psychopath, and it's "refreshing."
Sexual assault is fucking illegal, dude.

Okay. That's my bad.
It's just, lets have some thought here about any possible scenarios and use what we know rather than what we feel because humans are inherently irrational. Calling for someone's head is incredibly short sighted and comes off to me just as much as the stupid rascists calling for Obama's head because they perceive injustice on their end.
He made his bed.
Every fucking expert in the field said his press conference where he slammed Clinton over and over only to say she isnt being indicted was literally without precedent. He used his platform back then to give Republicans a ready made attack ad for months. Only an idiot would think that was a good idea to do as FBI Director. It was partisan hackery, and everyone knew it.
Now he once again broke the unwritten FBI rule never to release political damaging reports 60 days or less out from election. And why? So he can announce he knows nothing, has seen nothing, but this device could be related to Hillarys email case.
Experts, Democrat and Republican alike once again say this is unprecedented, that it was offensively devoid of real info and Comey himself said he did not have to do it and admits it could be misconstrued politically. BECAUSE THAT WAS HIS POINT. Failing anything substantive yet wanting to make a swipe at Hillary, this festering incompetent turd chose to make LITERALLY NOTHING a story while giving morons just enough for their freakish imaginations to run wild about evil Hillary.
Comey is a fucking idiot incapable of doing his job appropriately or keeping his bias out if it. His career needs to be over, and i will fucking celebrate as he is removed from his post.
You say he admits this yet you believe he is not acting politically.
I can't even. That is not rational. Just imagine every scenario this could happen and tell me what he should do.
Business in an embargoed Cuba is illegal as fuck.
Operating a charity without the proper paperwork is illegal as fuck.
Using said charity for personal expenses is illegal as fuck.
I could go on.
Is this REALLY the hill you want to die on?
This sudden hate boner for Comey is really hilarious. If word gets out that they are investigating new emails (just like how word got out that it's involving Weiner), he gets destroyed. And his internal memo is just as vague, suggesting that he really can't be as specific as everyone wanted him to be.

You can't be serious.If he really wanted to influence the election he would have recommended indictment back in July. Period.
There are two options for Comey.
1.) He is inept, and really thought nothing politically could go wrong with his actions here, and earlier with his Press Conference.
2.) He is politicizing the FBI, and trying to sway the election.
I don't see how it's not either considering all the facts we know now.
