That would take the heat off of HRC to do it.

I wonder if he, or if top Republicans and Democrats in Congress will let the American people know Farmgirl1961 Oct 2016 #1
I'm really wondering who will be talking first. NWCorona Oct 2016 #8
SO now Comey is pretending to do his job DK504 Oct 2016 #24

That would be a nice parting gift to a President Clinton. n/t PoliticAverse Oct 2016 #10
It is also at the discretion of the President still_one Oct 2016 #23
I believe the FBI Director, and all other department heads, serve at the pleasure of the President. calimary Oct 2016 #29
NO NO NO! ChairmanAgnostic Oct 2016 #31

All true, and disheartening. ChairmanAgnostic Oct 2016 #37
Comey supports the GOP ...the constitution...no. Demsrule86 Oct 2016 #34

Not good enough. He needs to issue another letter explaining WTF he meant by the first letter. SunSeeker Oct 2016 #11
I stand by my prediction that we will have some sort of official update by Monday afternoon NWCorona Oct 2016 #14
Yep - and it should be televised as I mentioned earlier - and asiliveandbreathe Oct 2016 #16
He needs to make a public statement. Otherwise we just get repub said/dem said reporting. Jim__ Oct 2016 #17
Why would you expect him to control the damage? LisaL Oct 2016 #18
He has an obligation to remove the innuendo from his letter. Jim__ Oct 2016 #20

I think it has fired up the Dems True_Blue Oct 2016 #40
He's going through the motions. That's about all we can expect these days. TonyPDX Oct 2016 #28
Comey can go fuck himself. He has been a terrible director even before this. Demsrule86 Oct 2016 #33
So he's continuing to violate the Hatch Act. The man just doesn't know when to stop. Disgusting. Native Oct 2016 #36
