The real reason Comey made his statement...

Agents, many people that trusted him...felt betrayed by Comey's letting Hillary off so easy.
James Comey's decision to revive the investigation of Hillary Clinton's email server and her handling of classified material came after he could no longer resist mounting pressure by mutinous agents in the FBI, including some of his top deputies, according to a source close to the embattled FBI director.

'The atmosphere at the FBI has been toxic ever since Jim announced last July that he wouldn't recommend an indictment against Hillary,' said the source, a close friend who has known Comey for nearly two decades, shares family outings with him, and accompanies him to Catholic mass every week.

'Some people, including department heads, stopped talking to Jim, and even ignored his greetings when they passed him in the hall,' said the source. 'They felt that he betrayed them and brought disgrace on the bureau by letting Hillary off with a slap on the wrist.'

According to the source, Comey fretted over the problem for months and discussed it at great length with his wife, Patrice.

He told his wife that he was depressed by the stack of resignation letters piling up on his desk from disaffected agents. The letters reminded him every day that morale in the FBI had hit rock bottom.

'The people he trusts the most have been the angriest at him,' the source continued. 'And that includes his wife, Pat. She kept urging him to admit that he had been wrong when he refused to press charges against the former secretary of state.

Of course...democrats that praised Comey for being 'impartial' and Tim Kaine just last week praised Comey as a "wonderful" career public servant with the "highest standards of integrity"....



...everything has now been turned on it's head with Hillary calling his latest moves "unprecedented and deeply troubling"...seemingly implying an attempt, on the part of Comey, to "rig" the election from Trump.



Again...this is more bizarre than any bad movie plot... It'd be funny if it weren't so sad...

Still...hopefully this'll make Hillary keel over from the stress and we won't have to deal with her dangerous criminal ass anymore.

Did you notice the "facts" are all from a single unnamed source and that the article is written by a man who has published four anti-Clinton books in the last decade? This does not pass the skeptics test, I'm sorry to say. It might just as well be a work of fiction.

Try again.

Can you prove he is lying? If not you're a hypocrite.

he doesn't have to prove he is lying. That is incumbant on the person presenting the 'facts' above. Who cannot prove a damned thing.

I would say the fact Comey re-opened the case gives more credence to TB source than yours and visions mitigating attempts.

Or, he's just following boring old legal protocol instead of this tabloid crap. I know you like your soap operas though.

TB, there's a reason why it's called the 'crazy mail'. It's a tabloid. Giving us stuff from there is no different than giving us stuff from Weekly World News.

Either way, Comey may have violated the Hatch Act by going public with this new email investigation.

Did he go public or did the recipients of his letter not keep it quiet?

You know, that's a good question woody. Whatever happened, something like this wasn't supposed to be made public this close to the election. You can bet it will influence things too.

I think the latter, but then again, see no sign that he admonished anyone not to.
