(30,755 posts)He deserves to be fired. Comey has been playing politics with this email non-scandal since day one. Fire him for not doing his job as head of the FBI, for using his office for political games. How can it hurt Obama at this late date? These fools have tried to fuck up Obama's Presidency and his legacy since he took office. Pay them back. Play hardball. They deserve it. Comey deserves it.

Oh well, at least there was Access Hollywood, which did its job quite nicely, thank you very much.
Anyway, there is a recurrent theme here: Bill Clinton-Trump-Weiner. Hmmm...what could it be.

(3,847 posts)The so called liberal media mentioned it a couple times and nothing ever came of it. Despite the million things that have come out about his cases of fraud over and over again they are refusing to call him out for his theft.

(19,379 posts)I'm sure it will contain lots of "facts" he was was not "allowed" to divulge as FBI director, but he'll feel compelled to enlighten the American people about how bad HRC is (and make a tidy sum of money hawking the book too).

(6,699 posts)I thought it was "too good to be true" that a republiKKKan would vindicate Hillary of any wrong doing. Way to come through with my predictions, comey. Throw some doubt in the minds of the twisted HRC-haters so they can now pump that up to be "something else we've got" against that damned corrupt Clinton woman.

(12,448 posts)This is beyond ridiculous. Comey says there are new emails relating not to Hillary Clinton, but to her chief aid and a horrible soon-to-be-ex husband and coyly hints that they're somehow incriminating. But of course, he doesn't actually say so; there's no indication of what's in them, no statement that he's re-opening the email probe, but, according to the media, it's a "bombshell." The media, who knows no more than the rest of us do about what's in those emails.

(13,305 posts)If Obama hadn't appointed a Republican, then we wouldn't have gotten all that great legislation that came out of all the good will he received for being "bipartisan".
And if he hadn't done that then the media might have portrayed him and Dems negatively rather than what they did which was run story after story about how great it was that he was willing to reach across the aisle.
So yeah, this really sucks that a politicized FBI director would pull such a shitty, obvious move so close to an election. But look at all the good we got from appointing this guy in the first place.
