1. What actions by Comey make you think that?

[poli3]

2. Because Comey sat on Trump's active investigation, while commenting on Hillary's

That makes him a violator of the Hatch Act, that's why Comey is trying to deny that there even was an investigation in the first place.

6. The violation of the HATCH ACT occurred when he released a letter

on October 28th stating he was re-opening investigation of HRC emails because "new" which turned out to be duplicates were found on her staff member's laptop. They were looking at something to do with Anthony Weiner and that's when discovered the duplicate HRC emails.

7. It's bigger than that, Chaffetz contacted Comey, and Comey immediately responded

with information about Hillary, making it public.

When Reid tried to contact Comey regarding Trump, Comey ignored Reid. There's no reason why he would do that if he didn't have a political motive. That's what Comey is trying to cover up.

3. That's from last October, after he violated the Hatch Act.

Republicans have not and will not investigate one of their own. Party before country. That sort of thing.

Please post recent relevant stories.

4. I know, so is the other Harry Reid thread

I'm just point out the context in why Comey's scared. If Comey and the FBI obtained information from the Trump campaign and sat on it, while calling out Hillary's campaign in the contemporary time frame, that attack would be seen as politically motivated, making him liable under the Hatch Act.

5. I know. I was surprised at that other one too.

Carry on.

8. And Comey continues to sit on everything they have on Trump

no matter how he blusters about the wiretap accusation. He knows who is responsible for his paycheck now.

9. Can we stop with these "so and so is terrified" posts?

There's no reason to think Comey is shitting himself.

10. Comey was complicit, and he singled out Hillary

If Comey were taken to trial, there's no way he could objectively argue that he didn't violate the Hatch Act when he had information on Trump from the FISA warrant, but chose to sit on it, despite Reid contacting him to release the information regarding Trump and Russia. This was in the same time frame that he made a public statement after Chaffetz contacted him.
