Again I say, it really comes down to two possibilities:

A) The higher-ups in the FBI anticipate a Trump win and wish to remain employed come January or
B) Comey is facing an internal revolt from good agents who consider him a dirty cop.

Or some combination of the above.

If he did the right thing, it’s because he ran out of viable alternatives.

I suspect the 15-year-old set Weiner up. The girl started texting Weiner first telling him what a big admirer she was of his and that he was a legend. Come on, how many 15-year-old girls would have interest in a 50-year-old guy like Weiner? I wouldn’t be surprised if that girl was working alongside with the FBI.

You are giving Comey too much credit. He’s part of the team Clinton team. The FBI insiders are angry at him.

With Comey’s history with the CF through HSBC, I would prefer he step away from the investigation and give it to a ‘clean cop.’

Good theory. I wondered about something like this myself. I couldn’t make sense of him laying out such a slam-dunk indictable case about her, then coming up with something as lame as “no intent”.

It’s like he wanted to get her, but gave in to pressure from the corrupt Obama regime. After having lived with himself for months, watching his personal reputation and that of the FBI being trashed, I think he turned a corner.

Maybe that’s just my giving him the benefit of the doubt....I don’t know how anyone can fare under such a corrupt system.

no one really knows for sure. and the number of explanations are huge. Suffice to say, he didn’t do it out of integrity, he was forced to. there might be some mighty sick stuff coming out of those emails.

No.

Cue the Comey/ Lynch connection graphic.

Comey is corrupt to the core and is essentially turning states witness to save his own hide.

Comey looks bad in this, no matter what happens.

My guess is that he would look worse if key FBI officials publicly revolted.

There were reports some months ago that the FBI was going t arrest Clinton before the election. There would not that way be much they could do with the time left tot hem.

ALSO: By refusing to recommend prosecution the first time around, the FBI wasn’t obliged to turn all the evidence over to the Justice Dept. -— where it would have been deep-sixed and the prosecution would have been dead upon arrival.

He had all the info he need to lock her up for over a decade with the email server alone.

Here is my theory.

Comey has millions in ill gotten gains from Billary.
So he put people he has the goods on to investigate Billary.

Meanwhile all these other investigations going on.
Without him noticing someone WHO HAS THE GOODS ON COMEY got put in charge of the Wiener investigation.

Oh, crap! He has to go public with it.

It is obvious that this is NOT due to serious evidence, or threats to national security because by just setting up the server to obstruct justice that bar was already met.

Of course we have been hearing about the mutiny in the FBI, so that put more pressue on Comey as well. This is likely worse that we’ve heard. The problem is that Comey cannot fire anyone, as they will go to the press.

Is there any reason to believe Comey is that brilliant?

More likely he did it to try to head-off a mutiny.

Before we continue the guessing game, let’s wait for the next wikileak message — I’m pretty sure they have the entire answer to this mystery. Comey may have already read the wikileak email and therefore decided to come clean.

I think the explanation is simple. The agents assigned to the Anthony Weiner sexting case finally got around to looking at Weiner’s computer and Voilà, there were all of Huma Abedin’s emails! No doubt that many were of a classified nature, and they were residing on a Yahoo email account that could easily be hacked.

So what was James Comey going to do when he was notified through normal channels with the appropriate paper trails, ask his agents to sit on it until after the election because the public did not have a right to know this information BEFORE they voted for her?

No way would that be the RIGHT thing to do.

Uhhhhhh.......... No.

Let's make a serious argument here. How can telling the world that "no crime was committed" and then later reopening an investigation at the eleventh hour really ever help your credibility?

The theory, like the theory that Comey deliberately laid out the case and then pulled back with a mens rea justification for non-prosecution at the last moment, like the theory that John Roberts really intended to destroy 0bamacare by gutting the Commerce Clause and calling it a tax, is too clever by half.

Comey ALREADY had enough evidence to convict Hillary of multiple felonies. Even if a very smart lawyer could have made a convincing argument to a very stupid jury that the Espionage Act requires intent, there is still the problem that Clinton and her aids destroyed evidence, made false statements to the FBI, and conspired to violate the law.

But even if we grant that this is a brilliant strategy, the theory still has a problem: because you see, Comey gave immunity to at least five people in this investigation -- and the ones we absolutely know of are at the top of the food chain, not low level types who would drop a dime on the higher-ups -- in addition to which he allowed them to retain possession of the means by which they committed their crimes, permitted some of them to be present during the questioning of other targets, and in some cases to allowed (or encouraged) them to destroy the evidence.

None of those things would be permitted by someone who was conducting a continuing investigation.

The fact that Comey had a slam dunk win against Clinton and purposefully blew it away tells you that this latest development results from an awareness that there is evidence out there that is beyond the reach of Barack 0bama and his minions, flunkies, and stooges. (Of which Comey is one.)

Disagree.

Comey didn’t get enough of a payoff.

YES..!

AND he quashed the inquiry into HSBC laundering all that drug money to CONFUSE the cartels, maybe..?

SEE..?! And THAT is where the YETI comes in..!

Wait! Gimme just a minute, this doesn’t involve UFO’s all that much, at all.

Now, as I was sayin’...
