In reply to the discussion: Harry Reid slams Comey for Russia election meddling [View all]DallasNE
(8,019 posts)Comey was in over his head as FBI Director. And Obama needed to do more to accelerate the FBI investigation into Russian meddling when Comey was dragging his feet because the integrity of the election was at stake. Also, Comey had no problem going public with a backup file on Weiner's laptop of Hillary's email. How would that not be too political. In addition, he never did level with the American people about what he found and why he thought it mattered. A backup file would give Comey some of the 30,000 emails Clinton said were personal so she deleted them. When Comey later said nothing important was found he related how one of the "new" emails was the two women discussed what they were going to wear to an event that night that both were attending. In other words, the file that doomed Hillary actually cleared her of wrongdoing. Comey has never come clean on his twin mistakes in that timeframe - why he did nothing about Russian interference and why he dishonestly framed the Clinton email, making it look worse than what it was. Combined, they pushed Trump over the top.
