    It's pretty obvious now that Comey is a died in the wool Republican operative, as even after being advised not to, he chose to attempt to affect the election on the basis of ZERO EVIDENCE.

    So, claiming the July ruling was wrong (when full info was available) is just plain stupid.

    That link fails.

    Yes, the GOP is attempting to cement the idea that Clinton did something wrong, regardless of ANY EVIDENCE.

    What do you think they are blaming Weiner for???

    Are you actually going to play stupid?
    You think Comey would tarnish his reputation even worse and even jeopardies his career by dropping a bombshell like he did 10 days before the election knowing it could influence the outcome of the election if he had nothing?
    "Opps by bad sorry folks I have nothing. I apologize for causing all this turmoil 10 days before the election over nothing" democrats would start foaming at the mouth and they would burn Comey at the stake

    and one of the lefts favorite cherished veteran reporters agrees with me


    Bernstein: FBI Would Not Reopen Case Unless New Evidence Was "A Real Bombshell"

    CARL BERNSTEIN: Well, there's no question that the e-mails have always been the greatest threat to her candidacy for president, that her conduct in regard to the e-mails is really indefensible and if there was going to be more information that came out, it was the one thing, as I said on the air last night, actually that could really perhaps affect this election.

    We don't know what this means yet except that it's a real bombshell. And it is unthinkable that the Director of the FBI would take this action lightly, that he would put this letter forth to the Congress of the United States saying there is more information out there about classified e-mails and call it to the attention of congress unless it was something requiring serious investigation. So that's where we are...

    So your saying that America will be defeated and the foreign oligarchies globalist the Clinton's Crime Syndicate wins ? :eyepopping:

    That really sucks big time. America will never be great again. :tears:

    Who would have ever thought eight years ago America would become a third world corrupt :banana: republic ?

    So you are going to play stupid also

    Comey wouldn't have dropped a bombshell like he did 10 days before the election taking the risk of upending the election if he had nothing

    here why don't you listen to one of the lefts favorite cherished veteran reporters that knows a thing or two about political scandals

    Bernstein: FBI Would Not Reopen Case Unless New Evidence Was "A Real Bombshell"

    Watergate journalist Carl Bernstein comments on the FBI's shocking Friday afternoon announcement that they are reopening the investigation into Hilary Clinton's email server because new evidence has come to light.

    CARL BERNSTEIN: Well, there's no question that the e-mails have always been the greatest threat to her candidacy for president, that her conduct in regard to the e-mails is really indefensible and if there was going to be more information that came out, it was the one thing, as I said on the air last night, actually that could really perhaps affect this election.

    The link to the Hill fails?

    http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/presidential-races/303402-anger-disbelief-in-clinton-camp

    The GOP huh. This is a Demo Strategist/Surrogate talking.....do keep up with reality.


    Hillary Clintons allies were cast into a state of anger and disbelief over the FBI’s stunning announcement that it is reviewing new emails “pertinent” to Clinton’s use of a private email server.

    They said they were “dumbfounded” by the revelation that the new FBI review may have been spurred by a separate investigation into Anthony Weiner sending lewd texts to a minor. Weiner is separated from wife Huma Abedin, one of Clinton’s closest aides.

    And they worried that Clinton’s unconventional email arrangement had finally caught up to her and might imperil her presidential bid less than two weeks before Election Day.

    “I'm livid, actually,” one Clinton surrogate told The Hill. “This has turned into malpractice. It's an unforced error at this point. I have no idea what Comey is up to but the idea this email issue is popping back up again is outrageous. It never should have occurred in the first place. Someone somewhere should have told her no. And they didn't and now we're all paying the price.”

    Another ally called the campaign’s mood something akin to “paralysis,” and blamed Weiner’s behavior for railroading the campaign.

    One strategist said the developments would further cement the notion that Clinton has something to hide.

    Clinton world was already on edge over Podesta's hacked emails, which are being published by Wikileaks on a near-daily basis.

    The surrogate predicted the news would also hurt Democrats in down ballot elections.

    Rather than panic over Clinton’s new troubles, Democrats expressed outrage at FBI director Comey for dropping what they view as a politically motivated bombshell close to the election......snip~



    That they find thousands of emails on Weiners Laptop is astonishing in itself. Do you think he may have some of the emails Hillary deleted?

    Could be a major clue, huh? Do you think that would be enough to blame him for?

    What, are you stupid enough to think if he was POTUS he would just arbitrarily put her in jail without trial? Like he has the power to do that? He was implying that all her crimes would actually be FAIRLY looked at and everyone involved would actually be called to task and not be able to keep taking the 5th over and over again. Like we all know, if anyone else besides Hillary did anything close to what she has done they would be in jail. The fact she keeps getting away with it all is the tragedy. And the MSM is complicit in it all because they're ignoring all of it and not dong their jobs. Instead they report on crap Trump said decades ago and imply it's all factual acts. Hello, words are not rape. Words are not physical assault. Words between 2 guys are all just BS. Words that matter are when Hillary lies about her actual actions. Like claiming people getting killed was due to a video. Or she was getting shot at by snipers. Or being against SSM then changing on a dime.

    Your quote points to the seriousness of what Comey did.

    And, the fact that he did it while saying there is no evidence of wrong doing makes it CRYSTAL CLEAR that it was a purely partisan assault on our election process.


    I'm very sure that Comey has a highly paid future outside of government. Government employees really don't get paid much compared to what the private sector offers. In fact, there is no reason for him to expect to stay in his position when there is a transition to a new administration - regardless of who were to become president.

    So, your first point is ridiculous.

    I know liberalism has a degrading effect on reading comprehension so let me help you out some

    And it is unthinkable that the Director of the FBI would take this action lightly, that he would put this letter forth to the Congress of the United States saying there is more information out there about classified e-mails and call it to the attention of congress unless it was something requiring serious investigation

    ok let me simplify let me paraphrase that to a fifth grade level

    Comey wouldn't have done what he did if he had nothing. Comey has something serious otherwise he wouldn't have done it

    Were you saying that in July ? I bet you were singing his praises back then. I still think he is more a politician than anything else

    Many forget about all the mean spirited attacks against Carter while he was president, although he is considered one of the most active after his years as president. From Wikipedia:

    Carter was interviewed by Robert Scheer of Playboy for the November 1976 issue, which hit the newsstands a couple of weeks before the election. While discussing his religion's view of pride, Carter said: "I've looked on a lot of women with lust. I've committed adultery in my heart many times." He is the only interviewee of Playboy to become US president. (Trump might be the second.)

    Among his first acts was the fulfillment of a campaign promise by issuing an executive order declaring unconditional amnesty for Vietnam War-era draft evaders. On January 7, 1980, Carter signed Law H.R. 5860 aka Public Law 96-185 known as The Chrysler Corporation Loan Guarantee Act of 1979, bailing out Chrysler Corporation. He canceled military pay raises during a time of high inflation and government deficits.

    Carter attempted to calm various conflicts around the world, most visibly in the Middle East with the signing of the Camp David Accords; giving back the Panama Canal; and signing the SALT II nuclear arms reduction treaty with Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev. His final year was marred by the Iran hostage crisis,

    Carter also had a US boycott of the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow, which raised a bitter controversy.

    [He also told people during one of his televised speeches to turn up their thermostats in the summer and down in the winter, and wear a sweater in the winter because of the energy crisis. I heard a lot of whining after this.]

    Carter later wrote that the most intense and mounting opposition to his policies came from the liberal wing of the Democratic Party. By 1980, Carter's popularity had eroded such that, running for re-election that year, he was challenged by Senator Ted Kennedy in the Democratic Party's primaries for the presidential nomination, marking the most recent Democratic primary in which an incumbent faced serious opposition.

    In 1980 he had to run against the "stagflation"-ridden economy, while the hostage crisis in Iran dominated the news every week. He alienated liberal college students, who were expected to be his base, by re-instating registration for the military draft. His campaign manager and former appointments secretary, Timothy Kraft, stepped down some five weeks before the general election amid what turned out to have been a false allegation of cocaine use. Also, the problems for his brother Billy made him look bad.

    Are you actually talking to me? Because you make the exact points that I made in my post, if you'd actually bothered to read it. Put your bong down, or learn to read, or get anger management help. Whatever helps you to figure out I was saying the exact opposite of what you accuse me of.........Jeezus Christ.

    Where we stand (with the ululations of the hyper-partisan, wishful-thinking cheerleaders quietened and restraining themselves from their frenetic pom pom failing)

    FACTS:

    1) FBI Director Comey has chosen this time for a public pronouncement via a letter to Congress about an investigation based on evidence that he acknowledges "may not be significant.”

    2) Clinton has called for Comey to put out the "full and complete facts" about the new review of the emails.

    That's the current situation - except for the attendant hoopla, strident embellishments, apocryphal confections, dizzying spins, and wild speculations, all of it - purely coincidentally, of course - self-serving.

    Will Comey be content to allow his vague and cryptic comments to fuel flights of fancy and the airy fairy notions to which some are given, or will he supplement the buzz he has provoked with anything of actual substance?

    Judicious people await clarifications, whilst others eagerly drag homemade versions aplenty out of their butts.

    Will Clinton's lascivious emails to the Weiner finally be exposed?

    Wow, Wouldn't that grab you by the p*ssy?

    More about the 1979 malaise speech- it seems similar to Trump’s “We suck and need to make America great again” talk and hats:
    -
    -
    "The solution of our energy crisis can also help us to conquer the crisis of the spirit in our country," the president said, asking Americans to join him in adapting to a new age of limits.

    But he also admonished them, "In a nation that was proud of hard work, strong families, close-knit communities and our faith in God, too many of us now tend to worship self-indulgence and consumption. Human identity is no longer defined by what one does but by what one owns."

    Hendrik Hertzberg, who worked on the speech, admits that it "was more like a sermon than a political speech. It had the themes of confession, redemption, and sacrifice. He was bringing the American people into this spiritual process that he had been through, and presenting them with an opportunity for redemption as well as redeeming himself." Though he never used the word -- Caddell had in his memo -- it became known as Carter's "malaise" speech.

    Perhaps appreciating the president's astonishing frankness, the public rewarded him with higher approval ratings in the days that followed. But then, as historian Douglas Brinkley notes, "it boomeranged on him. The op-ed pieces started spinning out, 'Why don't you fix something? There's nothing wrong with the American people. We're a great people. Maybe the problem's in the White House, maybe we need new leadership to guide us.'"

    Historian Roger Wilkins concurs: "When your leadership is demonstrably weaker than it should be, you don't then point at the people and say, 'It's your problem.' If you want the people to move, you move them the way Roosevelt moved them, or you exhort them the way Kennedy or Johnson exhorted them. You don't say, 'It's your fault.'"

    Carter didn't help himself by clumsily conducting a shakeup of his government in the week following the speech. On July 17, he asked his entire cabinet for their resignations, ultimately accepting those of five who had clashed with the White House the most, including Energy Secretary James Schlesinger and Health, Education and Welfare chief Joseph Califano.

    Many others in the administration chafed when newly-named White House chief of staff Hamilton Jordan circulated a "questionnaire" that read more like a loyalty oath. "I think the idea was that they were going to firm up the administration, show that there was real change by these personnel changes, and move on," remembers Mondale. "But the message the American people got was that we were falling apart."

    yes, but just being of the opposing party is not a wrong or not good employee, you can't go to the IRS and say all dems raise your hands, ok, your fired, only republican stay

    - - - Updated - - -

    yes, and the one living there gets to pick the staff as they will live there the next 4 years..... not the same thing as going to the IRS and firing all the opposing party

    True but only under Hillary did mass firings like this happen. Not only that looks like she still plays the same game

    I wonder if Comey used this as precedent

    In spite of his flaws, I think he wants to do something good. I just think Hillary is utterly and completely corrupt. If I really couldn't stand Trump, I just wouldn't vote or I'd vote 3rd party.

    I suspect Comey wanted nothing to do with this latest thing, but he was stuck. I think he was stuck by his own agents. Just a guess, but I suspect a lot of them hate him.

    That (D) next to a Democrat's name should stand for Denial. The Denial Party.

    It's too late for Comey. My guess is that there is some internal intrigue going on in the FBI, and that he wanted nothing to do with this latest thing. Rock (his own agency) and a hard place (his owner, Hillary)

    :roflol:

    He's stuck. He can't keep it quiet until after the election (his rep is already ruined enough), and he can't make potential evidence public.

    Right. I'll bet his reaction when this came across his desk was, "Aw sh-t!"

    I think Comey's reputation is ruined, and nothing he does can fix it, unless maybe he goes to Pakistan and shoots it out with Zawahiri himself. I think he was forced to do this latest thing on these latest emails. I am certain that whatever is in them, he will not see any evidence of any crime in them. Whatever is in them won't matter. No crime.

    I think you are right that Hillary is going to get elected. I didn't vote for Obama, but I wished him well when he got elected. Unfortunately, when Hillary gets elected, I will not be giving her my best wishes or my support. And the reason I will not do that is that I do not believe she has any intention of supporting us, and I do not believe she has genuine best wishes for the American people.

    "Toxic" is a word I've been using to describe her for a long time.

    Magazines and newspapers are acceptable. I think you can also put a little money on her books so she can buy from the prison canteen.

    $225,000. She's giving a speech at the party.

    I agree. She'll win. Even if we found out she was one of the walking dead ... trying to eat people ... she'd win.

    You are the one with a reading disability.

    Comey said nothing like that.

    Yet, YOU seem to think he did!!

    That is an artifact of your brainwashing.

    What he did back then was based on evidence and judicial branch judgement of what comprises a chargeable offense.

    He isn't claiming that this time.

    He ignored what the judicial branch stated to him, and made an accusatory statement without evidence.

    And, that is a serious problem.

    And like it says.....Especially if they obstructed investigations. Which still doesn't let you off the hook for Saying ALL Demos when I never said all Demos.














    So how you looking now? Besides needing some of that Cuban Coffee.

    But some times POTUS has little of no business experiance in the private sector and hire the wrong people to surround himself with.

    The Clinton's White House staff were made up of members of the Dixie Mafia and drug atticts.

    Obama surrounded himself with incompetent people, mostly commies, internationalist socialist, radical Muslims, and even a Maoist.

    Oh, and here is Natty telling us how he is about the Rule of law with Hillary and Team. While he is soooooo handy with Trumps words.


    Clinton Inc. Is Dishonest, Above the Law, on the Take
    http://www.realclearpolitics.com/?state=nwa

    Just the Facts, Ma'am.....

    We knew there could be a big October surprise before this bizarre and unpopular election finally came to an end. But who knew it would come from emails found on a device used by former Rep. Anthony Weiner, which was confiscated by the FBI after he sexted an underage woman -- an act that cost him his job, his income and his marriage?

    As I pondered this on Friday afternoon, I had a faint recollection of Winston Churchill describing a tough loss in an MP election. Hat tip to Susan Varga, who located this Churchill gem: "In a twinkling of an eye, I found myself without an office, without a seat, without a party, and without an appendix." Churchill had his appendix taken out during that election, which took place in 1922.

    So let's see here. Anthony Weiner lost his office and his seat. And while I don't know about his appendix, he did lose his marriage for referring to matters below the waist.

    And Huma Abedin, Hillary Clinton's aide and Weiner's soon to be ex-wife, may well lose her seat and her office, although I couldn't find any information about her appendix, despite a long Google search.

    On the other hand, the FBI's bombshell that it is reopening the investigation into Hillary Clinton's private email server may well cause the Democratic presidential candidate to lose her office, her seat and her party. As to the condition of her appendix, we'll just have to guess, since no one knows the state of her deteriorating health.

    And then we have FBI director James Comey, who may well be on his way to losing his office, his seat and his reputation. (I have no information on the status of his appendix.)

    And how bizarrely ironic is it that Comey -- who lost considerable credibility a couple of months ago for building an iron-clad case against Clinton only to let her off the hook -- is now reopening her case based not on Russian espionage or Julian Assange's WikiLeaks, but on Anthony Weiner's electronic sex life?

    This will not bring honor and glory to J. Edgar Hoover's venerable crime-fighting organization. Comey's announcement, by the way, follows hot on the heels of the revelation that Clinton pal and Virginia governor Terry McAuliffe channeled near $500,000 into the failed state senate campaign of Jill McCabe, who is the wife of FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe, who helped oversee the agency's investigation into Clinton's private email server. And let it be known that Hillary Clinton helped raise $1 million for McAuliffe's PAC.

    But the straight shooting Detective Friday may be better known for this deadpan phrase: "Just the facts, ma'am." Those are words that may go to the very heart of this presidential election.

    No matter what James Comey unveils in the days ahead, if anything, virtually no one in this country believes Hillary Clinton will ever divulge "just the facts."
