This way the GOP can't point fingers at Comey if she wins. They'll still be sore at him for not pressing charges the first time but that's been old news for a while now.



Don't act like a child just because you know your argument is ****ing stupid.
Yes of course, as I stated, the pressure of being forced to reopen an investigation led to a bad decision, but it has nothing to do with him being a Republican. He may fear the fallout from congress, but his motivations are not out of personal desire to protect future ambitions as a possible Republican candidate.

You however are missing the point, which is Hillary brought this on herself, there would be no investigation had she not of broken the rules in regards to national security, and now she must accept the consequences of being probed by the FBI in a criminal investigation.

If she is found innocent, she will cleared of any wrongdoing unless new evidence arises. Then we will go through the process again.

Say it another dozen or so times and maybe you'll convince yourself to believe it's true.

WTB, read this very closely. Especially the parts I bolded.

From The New York Times

Quote:
WASHINGTON — The day before the F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, sent a letter to Congress announcing that new evidence had been discovered that might be related to the completed Hillary Clinton email investigation, the Justice Department strongly discouraged the step and told him that he would be breaking with longstanding policy, three law enforcement officials said on Saturday.

Senior Justice Department officials did not move to stop him from sending the letter, officials said, but they did everything short of it, pointing to policies against talking about current criminal investigations or being seen as meddling in elections.

That Mr. Comey moved ahead despite those protestations underscores the unusual nature of Friday’s revelations, which added a dramatic twist to the final days of the presidential campaign. His action reignited a firestorm that Mrs. Clinton believed she had put behind her when the F.B.I. decided in July not to charge anyone in the investigation into the handling of classified information on her private email server.

Mr. Comey’s letter did not reopen that inquiry, even as he promised to review the new information, which was discovered in an unrelated investigation into the disgraced former congressman Anthony D. Weiner.

Again you are pissed because your a pom pom cheerleader for Hillary Clinton, who is incapable of taking off your partisan hat.

I was simply commenting that this is the weirdest election ever, it is not my fault, or Comey's fault, or any Republican or Democrats fault that she broke the rules in regards to national security, and is now under a criminal investigation. She chose to do it, and now must accept responsibility for the fallout.

How old are you, 16?

1. The initial criminal investigation is over. Closed. Done.
2. There has been no new criminal investigation opened. She is currently not being investigated for any possible crimes.
3. All Comey said was they they obtained more emails, that he doesn't know the content of them, and that they MIGHT be related to the closed investigation.

Cool. How does him being a Republican make his decision necessarily a partisan one? I've heard nothing but conjecture from you on that count, and considering how much you've been criticizing others for using conjecture against Hillary I think that's pretty hypocritical.

Because he had no other reason to do it. His boss told him not to. The Department of Justice didn't want him to. And by doing it it can only hurt Clinton and/or help Trump.

Like I posted earlier, it's all everyone was talking about on the Sunday morning news programs and discussion panels.

From The Washington Post

Quote:
The rationale, described by officials close to Comey’s decision-making on the condition of anonymity, prompted the FBI director to release his brief letter to Congress on Friday and upset a presidential race less than two weeks before Election Day. It placed Comey again at the center of a highly partisan argument over whether the nation’s top law enforcement agency was unfairly influencing the campaign.

and???

What are you posting that we already do not know? We know that the pressure led to a bad decision, though personally as I stated, I think the public has a right to know. There is no evidence to show that he is doing this for personal gain down the road.

In light of the new information there is now an FBI criminal probe into Hillary Clinton, and she must take responsibility for breaking the rules on national security, while still choosing to run for the Presidency, if nothing substantive is found, she will be cleared of any wrongdoing.

Agreed. There's plenty of stuff pointing at him doing it for possibly very short term GOP gains. And we don't KNOW that pressure led to his poor decision. That's something you keep clinging to.

Quote:

At this time there is no FBI criminal probe or criminal investigation. Clinton shouldn't take responsibility for anything until the FBI comes forth and discloses that they actually found something incriminating in the new emails.

Quote:

This reeks of guilty until proven innocent. What if she loses the election and afterwards the FBI comes out and admits they found nothing. Remember you can't be cleared of something until after you've actually been charged of something. The first investigation is closed. As of today there's no criminal investigation open.

So again, the only logical conclusion he did what he did (and is getting roundly criticized for) is to help the GOP in the homestretch of the election.

You just said he was covering his own ass. You say he has two reasons, but then turn around and say he didn't have any other reason when it comes time to accuse him of being partisan. I'm seriously confused as to your reasoning. Usually I can at least follow your train of thought, but this time I'm actually struggling.
