FBI director defends Clinton email probe, document releases (more document releases are coming)
CNN ^ | 9/7/2016

Washington (CNN)FBI Director James Comey is defending the bureau's Friday afternoon release of documents from the Hillary Clinton email investigation, saying "we don't play games" and that the documents were put out when ready. In a memo to employees Wednesday, Comey said the decision to not recommend charges against the now-Democratic nominee wasn't a close call.

Read Comey's full memo "At the end of the day, the case itself was not a cliff-hanger; despite all the chest-beating by people no longer in government, there really wasn't a prosecutable case," he said in the memo. In recent weeks, Comey has met with groups of former FBI agents as part of his routine visits to field offices around the country. In at least one recent such meeting, according to people familiar with the meeting, former agents were sharply critical of the FBI's handling of the Clinton probe and particularly the decision to not recommend charges against Clinton. Comey gave the meeting participants a similar answer about the case not being a cliff-hanger. CNN Politics app Comey said he briefly considered holding the documents until after the Labor Day holiday, knowing that the Friday afternoon release would likely prompt criticism. He also said more document releases are coming.

Oh yes you do play games, James, and you corrupted the FBI.

You should be fired and charged with aiding and abetting public corruption, and obstruction of justice.

"we don't play games"

Comey should have said; we clearly have no "intention" to play games.

The little people will be charged to the fullest extent to the law, financially broken, and thrown in the slammer.

The Clintons can do whatever the Hell they want.

The Ruling Class has to go.

There is no room for this crap in America.

Three cheers for the former agents giving Comey crap about this. He deserves it.

I’ve given up on trying to keep track of all the laws Killary has broken. Suffice it to say an unconvicted felon should not be running for POTUS.

Comey has lost all credibility.

His boss demanded his obedience, but he gave it willingly.

Comey added an “intent” clause to the law. There is not and never has been an “intent” clause in the law.

Then he tells us that anyone else committing the same acts as Clinton would have been prosecuted.

But now he says it wasn’t even a close call?

Is he on drugs?

Crooked Comey is a clown, a paid treasonous clown.

"When the law no longer protects you from the corrupt,
but protects the corrupt from you -
you know your nation is doomed."

Comey looks like a buffoon every time his opens his mouth. For his own sake he should just hide under his desk until President Trump is inaugurated.

Comey has destroyed the credibility of the FBI.

Roberts has destroyed the credibility of the Supreme Court.

Lois Lerner and Coskigen (sp?) have destroyed the credibility of the IRS.

...

There is no credibility left in our institutions.

When the other agents RESIGN President-elect Trump should tell him he’d better be gone by Dec 31or else!
