What should Comey have done? califootman Apr 2018 #32

Not go public the way he did oberliner Apr 2018 #37

But he didn't go public. califootman Apr 2018 #41

What did Hillary mean by his "unusually public airing of the FBIs investigation" ? oberliner Apr 2018 #42

Possibly his pronouncement earlier that year at the "conclusion" of the investigation. califootman Apr 2018 #49

Comey caused Hillary to win the popular vote by 3 mil? LuckyCharms Apr 2018 #61

No, Hillary was responsible for her popular vote victory oberliner Apr 2018 #62

So Comey caused Hillary to lose a few tens of thousands LuckyCharms Apr 2018 #63

Lots of other factors came into play oberliner Apr 2018 #64

Come election day there was only 1 thing that those on the Left could do elocs Apr 2018 #68
