The FBI's intervention. It is well understood that FBI Director James Comey's resurrection of the Clinton email issue in the closing days of the race was without precedent and highly damaging to her campaign. But this is not all that poured out of the FBI in the final weeks. For days Fox News
quoted unnamed FBI sources who claimed an indictment of Clinton was imminent, a story that was eventually retracted. Unnamed FBI sources
also claimed that the bureau's investigation into the Trumpworld-Russia connection had turned up nothing; and, implausibly, that the Russian intervention was not designed to benefit one candidate over the other. If it becomes clear that – as has been
reported –
a group of FBI agents in the New York City office close to Giuliani helped push all of this stuff out in the final days for Trump's benefit this would be a doozy of a scandal. At the very least FBI Director Comey should publicly account for the torrent of leaks in the final weeks.

if anything Comey was the source.
