James Comey concedes he may have been responsible for Trump's election win in 2016, and the sustained, years long nightmare that continues today.

[Billiejeens]

What he did wasn’t evil. It was gutless.

Roody and other Republicans were going to say mean things about him if he didn’t open a bogus investigation days out from the 2016 election and send a letter to Congress announcing it.

In the real world

The New York Field Office was about to open a very public investigation, because they were not in on the scam,then Comey intervened, pretended to do a quick investigation and then dismissed it.

Comey is a hero to Democrats that aren't totally brain dead.

The Comey Letter Probably Cost Clinton The Election​

The Comey Letter Probably Cost Clinton The Election

So why won't the media admit as much?

Hillary Clinton would probably be president if FBI Director James Comey had not sent a letter to Congress on Oct. 28. The letter, which said the FBI had “learned of the existence of emails that appear to be pertinent to the investigation” into the private email server that Clinton used as secretary of state, upended the news cycle and soon halved Clinton’s lead in the polls, imperiling her position in the Electoral College.

The letter isn’t the only reason that Clinton lost. It does not excuse every decision the Clinton campaign made. Other factors may have played a larger role in her defeat, and it’s up to Democrats to examine those as they choose their strategy for 2018 and 2020.

But the effect of those factors — say, Clinton’s decision to give paid speeches to investment banks, or her messaging on pocket-book issues, or the role that her gender played in the campaign — is hard to measure. The impact of Comey’s letter is comparatively easy to quantify, by contrast. At a maximum, it might have shifted the race by 3 or 4 percentage points toward Donald Trump, swinging Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Florida to him, perhaps along with North Carolina and Arizona. At a minimum, its impact might have been only a percentage point or so. Still, because Clinton lost Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin by less than 1 point, the letter was probably enough to change the outcome of the Electoral College.

Investigations are not and never supposed to be “very public”. The fact that you admit this demonstrates the political corruption of the New York FBI office.

 

[struth]

Comey is corrupt as the day as long, they gave Clinton a pass on her illegal activities....it really set up what we see how, and that is the two tier justice system of Demafacsist

The New York field office and Roody pushed Comey into opening an investigation and ANNOUNCING it days before the election.

An investigation that ended almost as soon as it began because there was nothing there beyond the damage doing so would to Clinton’s campaign

Comey was a gutless POS

And we saw the result of that very public “ investigation “.

Nada

Zip

Nothing

It was what forced Comey to do what he did

 

[Picaro]

What the fuck is the difference?

I'm not interested in your deflections, fact is that Trump did privately and publicly push his AG to prosecute Clinton.

And she was a criminal, so what? She also compromised national security and colluded with foreign intelligence agents to frame an opposition candidate for fake crimes.

Kill the investigation to help Clinton -

Yes, we all saw it.

 

[Billiejeens]

Gee… I wonder why the Trump DOJ never prosecuted her…

We didn't prosecute political opponents, way back then.

Nope

 

[berg80]

they gave Clinton a pass on her illegal activities

No he didn't. The legal standard of intent was not met as it applied to her violations of security protocols of classified docs.

 

[struth]

No he didn't. The legal standard of intent was not met as it applied to her violations of security protocols of classified docs.

hahaha intent is question for the fact finder, not law enforcment....she knowingly hide the classified documents on a illegal server....he made that determination.

Remember locker up

Still a stupid and biased opinion.

I do.

It was good advice that the citizens of our country gave to Candidate Trump.

Too bad that he didn't take it.

Gosh, that's incredibly ignorant of the facts. The FBI thoroughly investigated and determined they was no intent to violate any law.

Why Intent, Not Gross Negligence, is the Standard in Clinton Case

On July 5, FBI Director James Comey announced that he was not going to recommend the filing of criminal charges against Hillary Clinton over her use of a
