this would hurt him with his base of support far more than a proven connection to putin or russia would, and would prove him to be a hypocrite on the "there has to be some form of punishment" line to others that lean hillary but might sorta be wavering a bit.

Yes, I agree. I was thinking today when this new nothing burger hit the news that the Clinton campaign would drop what ever they had left on Trump, and you can bet it will be good. They need to do it Wednesday so it will dominate the news till election day. These idiots in the media/FBI and that ahole congress critter are dealing with the a-team and are about to get stepped on.

your kryptic statement is as bad as Comey's. Your later post makes it 'clear' that you are just guessing.

I guess you are allowed, but it is a guess that is not helpful on such a bad news day.

distracted with the only tool they ever (never) had.
That whole Comey/Chaffetz thing smells like deflection.

Dems have had their finger on the nuke of all nukes & its pointed straight at Trump & his fascist hounds.

Comey's bogus email screech today, is all they had left to cover their asses from the inevitable.

This b.s. is almost over.

....to be Speaker of the House next session, Comey drops this mini-bomb (although fuse was wet and it didn't go off), all within about 24 hours just before the election.

Let's hope that when everyone realizes this new Comey revelation goes nowhere it brings Chaffetz down as well.

This is what happens when a faction attempts a coup. If it fails, the leaders face a (political) firing squad.

Chaffetz pressured Comey & Comey gave just enough to turn it into a bombshell press release.

Chaffetz ran to the press with the manipulated headlines.
Chaffetz showed his Party he is now fit to replace Paul Ryan.
They don't care if Comey's rep is shredded.
Chaffetz comes out on top & will be our next Speaker unless Dems pull off a miracle win on Nov 8th.

Chaffetz for Speaker is like Pence for President.

Since this viper pit goes all the way to the top of the FBI then there is a daunting task ahead for President Clinton & her Cabinet & Senate. The House can do a lot of damage and the Dems cannot drop the ball on midterms.

Democracy's survival is such a cutthroat game.

The rape victim may speak out and tell her story publicly - although I doubt his supporters would even care if he gang raped a 13 year old

I can't imagine what else would even get attention. A 12th woman spoke out and got 30 seconds of news.

He has been accused of sexual assault, rape, fraud, discrimination - short of murder there isn't much else left.

I think if there was anything else it would have come out by now. Plus I think the public is just sick of it - his supporters won't care and the sane people have turned their backs on him.

That the Clinton camp opposition research had more but didn't feel they needed to use it. Things were going well so it wasn't necessary.

Now it is necessary and I hope it's a whopper. I hope it's a call girl recording a transaction with Trump. Or some nefarious/illegal business dealings.

I hope there is something to just take that asshole down once and for all.

Maybe a tape of sexual assault of one of the accusers, come one Gloria Allred

Some insult that would really make him implode
