Harry Reid slams Comey for Russia election meddling

[Honeycombe8]

31. At the time Comey was Director....

he DID notify the W.H. of what the FBI knew at that point, about the Russian investigation, which wasn't what we know now.

So Harry Reid is WRONG. Flat wrong. He's mistaken if he thinks Comey didn't do anything. It was an active investigation, but he still alerted the W.H. The DOJ knew, of course.

I don't know what Reid has against Comey, or if Reid is getting senile. But he's mistaken.

We are not speaking of the Clinton email investigation. So leave that aside.

The FBI was originally investigating the Russian interference in our democracy/election system. It was NOT investigating any particular candidate regarding that. Later on in the investigation, it ran across communications with the Trump team. So at some point, AFTER Trump's mtg with Comey, the investigation started focusing on communications with the Trump team, too. But it was still an investigation into the Russian interference, wherever it would lead, which ultimately became Mueller's investigation task.

The FBI was doing an excellent job, it seems. Except for some agents making personal comments on govt email or on govt time, which is unethical and inappropriate and came back to bite those agents. But other than that, the investigation seems to have been thorough, which was given to Mueller, of course.
