Comey faces new questions about Trump, Russia decisions

sounds like a diversion to try and protect the traitor whore if you ask me.
More concerned about how the information came available than what the information really is.
Hopefully the FBI can stay on course this time and do their job so hillary can end up in jail getting pegged by Shanequa for the next few years until she gets shanked for soaking everyone when her colostomy bag explodes.
Happy Dreams, its what makes life worth living.

hmmm....interesting no? Why the concern about it being so close to an election with Trump scandels but NOT with Clinton?


Comey faces new questions about Trump, Russia decisions

...A variety of government agencies have investigated Russia’s role in hacking Democratic emails for the purpose of influencing the outcome of the presidential election, and to date, U.S. officials have agreed that the evidence is overwhelming pointing to Russia’s role. Several members of Congress urged the FBI to help get to the bottom of this, and in testimony last month, Comey said he could not confirm whether or not such an investigation was underway.

CNBC reports today that the FBI did help uncover relevant details, but Comey was reluctant to say so – because the facts emerged too close to Election Day.

FBI Director James Comey argued privately that it was too close to Election Day for the United States government to name Russia as meddling in the U.S. election and ultimately ensured that the FBI’s name was not on the document that the U.S. government put out, a former FBI official tells CNBC.

The official said some government insiders are perplexed as to why Comey would have election timing concerns with the Russian disclosure but not with the Huma Abedin email discovery disclosure he made Friday.

To be sure, a few weeks ago, a joint report from the Department of Homeland Security and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence reached the public, and confirmed widely held fears: Russia appears to have stolen materials in order to interfere with the American political process.

But the FBI was not part of the report’s release, and CNBC’s report sheds light on why. CNBC quoted a former FBI official saying Comey agreed with the findings from the other agencies, but the director “was against putting it out before the election.”

Now, by some measures, that’s a defensible posture. The FBI has traditionally wanted to avoid the appearance of intervening in elections, and that’s an entirely worthwhile principle. In this case, it’s borderline – if Russia committed an election crime in the United States, it’s hardly outrageous that the FBI would both investigate the allegations and comment on the findings – but because there’s evidence Russia’s crimes are directly related to trying to boost Donald Trump, I can appreciate why Comey may want to avoid the controversy so close to an election.

But you probably see where I’m going with this: if Comey is going to honor these principles, he needs to apply them evenly. The FBI director can’t credibly claim Russia’s alleged crimes in the United States must go without mention because of the election season, while at the same time commenting publicly – and even offering vague, substance-free updates – on Hillary Clinton’s email server management.

If Comey has an explanation for the competing standards – one for news related to Trump, another for news related to Clinton – I’ll be eager to hear it.

Postscript: The fact that this story leaked to CNBC today is also a reminder that Comey’s decision has critics within the FBI itself, which is rumored to be divided over the director’s controversial move.​

Comey just helped save America from a psychotic nutjob bitch who would sell the oval office to the highest bidder only Anti Americans hate him for doing his job.

Well, I for one, never liked Comey even back in July when he "absolved' Clinton.....WHY???
Simple.......He helped Hillary to defeat Sanders (who was my candidate)....In other words, he helped the Dems. nominate the candidate with much more baggage on her shoulders, and then helped to pull the rug from under her feet.

I have NO doubt that Clinton will win next week; nonetheless, she is only my choice when compared to a charlatan, circus barker.

Sanders has no backbone he broke like a no. 2 pencil.
