I don't want this to be ongoing with leaks and revelations leaked out after the convention. As long as this is an ongoing investigation it will be used against HRC. I don't think anyone expects there to be any bombshells, any indictments etc. So lets get this behind us once and for all. James Comey, FBI director is a Republican. I just get the feeling someone is telling him to delay their findings. But once the findings are released and there is "no there, there" that should be the end of it.
Its failure makes it clear that the
FBI will have the final say on whether Clinton did anything wrong or illegal. And whatever the verdict is,
both parties will have to accept it because Comey is, in many ways, untouchable.
The 54-year-old FBI chief, confirmed by the Senate to a 10-year term in a 93-1 vote this summer, is known for his independence and aggressive prosecutions.
The grandson of a police officer in Yonkers, N.Y., he has repeatedly stressed his nonpartisan approach.
When he served in former President George W. Bush’s Justice Department, Comey made headlines by rushing to a Washington hospital to prevent White House counsel Alberto Gonzales from getting a bedridden Attorney General John Ashcroft to sign off on reauthorizing a domestic surveillance program.It’s the moment that made Comey’s reputation and underlines why Republicans and Democrats expect he’ll call the Clinton email investigation as he sees it, no matter the political stakes.
“My folks don’t give a rip about politics,” the 6-foot-8-inch Comey said earlier this year. “We’re competent, we’re independent and we’re honest.”
Comey donated to Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) in his 2008 run for the White House and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney in his 2012 bid for the GOP nomination, but Obama still reportedly considered asking him to serve on the Supreme Court before tapping him for the FBI instead.
Since then, Comey has broken with Obama on a host of issues.
