Election Day Is Less Than A Week Away, And We Still Don’t Know James Comey’s Next Move

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/james-comey-clinton-fbi_us_5818c17fe4b064e1b4b4f0b4

I know where this guy's next move should be:

OUT

as in FIRED, and

prosecuted for failure to comply with the Hatch Act.

What has this country come to where an odious asshole like Trump might actually WIN????????????????

election. He wants to keep it vauge intentionally.

There is nothing going to be found in those emails, and that will be more reason why he won't release it a few days before the election.

He has thumbed his nose at the AG, and the Congressional Democrats.

The only way he would release the findings earlier is if they found something significant, and that is NOT going to happen.

This is a pure partisan act.

Yes, I believe the FBI's integrity has been compromised

that said they have found NOTHING in the email dump. They are still looking, hoping......

Like I have said many times, if they find nothing, you won't hear anything before tuesday. If they find anything they can make look bad, there will be a friday noon presser.

What will happen next is he will be grilled in front of a Senate committee and have to explain his very weak actions. He is going to get skewered. The issue of him trying to influence an election will be front and center and he will have to prove how he didn't influence the election....with poll numbers and all thrown in his face...

I hope he gets prosecuted. This is a dangerous precedent if he doesn't.
