A federal agency has likely opened an investigation into whether FBI Director James Comey is interfering in the presidential campaign by disclosing new materials related to the federal probe concerning Hillary Clinton's emails.

An Office of Special Counsel (OSC) spokesman declined to address whether the office opened an investigation in response to a complaint by Richard Painter, a former White House ethics lawyer. However, a spokesman noted that it generally would.

Good news.

1. This is very excellent news! I wonder what those Republican agents within the FBI will do now? eom

[FSogol]

3. K & R. n/t

[patsimp]

4. COmey should be investigated by a special prosecutor

[Warpy]

5. It's a clear violation of the Hatch Act

that prevents appointed officials from using their offices to affect national elections.

There was no other reason for him to issue such a poisonous announcement over emails that were not on Clinton's server.

He's a Republican hack who has been trying to pin something on the Clintons for decades.

6. I hope everyone takes note the OSC did not disclose anything.

Unlike GOP operative Comey.

7. Will

This help us ? I hope so He broke the law !

[tarheelsunc]

8. LOCK HIM UP! LOCK HIM UP! eom

[ffr]

13. Seize his records and electronic devices now before he can destroy his audit trail

His dirty connections probably root under our democracy like some tree roots do to water. He's undoubtedly linked to every dirty politician in Washington.

LOCK HIM UP! LOCK HIM UP!

9. Not Onion-ish? If not this is good news, Comey's judgement here is wrong on its face

[LeftInTX]

11. He'll resign next week, which I assume will end the investigation

[wordpix]

12. good, the traitor deserves investigation

[world wide wally]

14. I hope they are checking out his connections to both Trump and Russia as well as to the GOP

15. Since he's not running for president, it doesn't effing matter.

That, and $2 get you a ride on a bus.

[OnDoutside]

16. Perception is everything. It matters. His credibility is shot, and for someone who puts great store

in his integrity, there's no coming back from this apart from retrieving some honor by walking.

[lindysalsagal]

17. He's getting away with this, because he's probably got enough on the politicians to silence them.

You won't find an attorney general who will want to touch this.

[OnDoutside]

21. No, the AG won't have to fire him, he'll be going of his own accord once he realises he has f**ked

up so hugely, and he has no alternative but to save the integrity of the FBI. Perhaps it will be someone within the FBI who will have to have the talk. The Glass of whiskey and Loaded Revolver talk.

20. It matters; this could lead to his removal.

Right now, it would look political if Obama fired him, but if he was found guilty of violating the Hatch Act, then that saves Obama (and Clinton) from having to fire him.

[SunSeeker]

18. Karma!

[Thrill]

19. He don't give a shit

He knew he was toast if Hillary won any way. After the way he handled the email bullshit the other time

22. How far will the investigation reach?

Keith Olbermann's Closer #33 today reported suspected collusion
between Comey, Chaffetz, and apparently the Trump campaign on some
level.

Comey reported it publicly, Chaffetz got first wind and added the words
"Case reopened" which KO said Comey did not say at all. Only later did
House Dems receive notice of Comey's letter.

Comey may have succumbed to pressure, colluded, or just be incompetent
or have bad judgment. Why would a man of his stature and intelligence
go rogue and think he could sway an entire election by public declarations
and then feign innocence?

I'm thinking tentacles. Does OSC go there, or are they only limited to
Comey's actions detailed in the ethics complaint?
