In reply to the discussion: Harry Reid slams Comey for Russia election meddling [View all]allgood33
(1,584 posts)33. Obama stepped back from making this a huge issue for fear of being accused of interfering in
the election. That's how the GOP stifles the Democrats. They project loudly all their dirty deeds on Democrats when they challenge anything. The Democrats usually just accept their accusations of being too partisan while the GOP goes merrily along scandlaizing whomever they want without any basis whatsoever and we never challenge them effectively.
Until we learn to fight like they do, we will always lose. That is why I support all the new-comers to Congress, especially those like AOC who will stand and fight for what they believe and for truth no matter what they are falsely accused of.
If we can't defeat them at the ballot box we lose bigly.

The data shows there was no impact. In fact, one poll went UP for her after the Comey Oct surprise.

I don't understand why it wasn't escalated to the DOJ and then the the Attorney General ?
