10. The system is

indeed corrupt. I've mentioned before that my daughters and I campaigned for a friend when he ran for a seat in the House. When it came time for his re-election campaign, he wasn't really invested in going all out. He told me that the system was so corrupt that it made him sick. And this was a guy who had been one of the best regional D.A.'s.

I think that Comey believed he would be able to address both investigations last summer. After speaking on Clinton, he was instructed not to speak on the Russian-Trump investigation by the Attorney General.

He had, of course, testified before Congress shortly after his press conference on Clinton. At that time, he stated the case was closed. When pressed, he stated he would inform them if anything new came up. Shortly before the election, as you note, he did so. But it was the republicans who leaked that to the press, not Comey.
