Hillary Clinton's camp pushed back hard against the FBI's decision to restart its investigation into her use of a private email server 11 days before the election. Part of their pitch: that even some Republicans think FBI Director James B. Comey erred when he told Congress (and the world) about it.

That may be a smart bet for the moment. Comey's GOP critics seem to be piling up by the hour.

On Monday, one of the most conservative members of Congress criticized Comey's timing. Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) chairs the hard-line conservative House Freedom Caucus and has been agitating for Clinton to be investigated for perjury related to her use of a private email server.

But he told told Fox News Radio: "I think this was probably not the right thing for Comey to do — the protocol here — to come out this close to an election, but this whole case has been mishandled, and now it is what it is."

3. On my Android phone I just stop the page loading when the text appears.

Stopping at that point avoids the WaPo paywall, it doesn't pop up. Don't know if this works on other platforms.

I've also noticed the WaPo paywall stopped popping up on my desktop after I installed an ad-blocker.

4. Sen. Chuck Grassley, Newt Gingrich, Alberto Gonzales, Richard Painter, George Terwilliger, John Dean

Larry Thompson: The deputy attorney general in the Bush Justice Department is among 100 former Justice Department officials who signed a letter criticizing Comey.

Joe Walsh - The former conservative congressman and controversial conservative radio host (most recently of “If Trump loses, I'm grabbing my musket” fame) tweeted this Sunday night:

Look, I think Comey should have said prosecute her back in July.

But what he just did 11 days b4 the election is wrong & unfair to Hillary.

The last guy is a jerk, but even he admits it wasn't fair (as well as an abuse of power).
