If intent is in the law it has to mean intent to do the illegal action. When I read what Comey said about the FBI's non-recorded interview with Hillary he seemed to use intent as intent to break the law. Hillary definitely intended to use her private server, destroy emails, etc.

I guess the next time someone is arrested for robbing a bank, he can say that he didn't intend to break the law. Not! Yikes!

But what about all of the agents and career Justice Department employees that we were told would quit en masse if Hillary wasn’t prosecuted? What happened to this prediction by numerous commentators?

You cannot defend the indefensible. You can try, but no one with half a brain will believe you and they certainly won’t trust you in the future. If Trump wins, one of his first acts should be to ask for Comey’s resignation.

The only reason these documents are being released must be to avoid a mutiny.

Comey, you’re a cheap political hack and nothing more .... you sold out any scrap of ethics, professionalism, and morality for your 20 pieces of silver .... so shut up and go away.

The rat James Comey has already proven himself a traitor and he needs to stand before the bench on charges of treason.

This is not your father’s FBI; instead, it’s a den of snakes and terrorists.

> “we don’t play games”

What a laugh. You interviewed Clinton on the 4th of July weekend and you released these documents on Labor Day weekend.

And you spouted this “intent” nonsense. Comey, you’re a liar and a co-conspirator.

If I were president, I would give comey a 38 loaded with one bullet, and 60 seconds alone in a dirty restroom stall.

The reason for prosecuting Petraeus was because he hid documents in insulation of his home. If that is tantamount to obstructing evidence and prosecution, what would he say about using proprietary software to delete emails, smashing cell phones and mailing laptops that get lost in the mail? The notion that she would permanently erase evidence with special software and plead incompetence regarding training in classification despite signing an agreement that acknowledged that she did is the smoking gun that the media always screams for. And for some reason, the FBI opted not to record her interview goes against standard policy. The notion of any impartiality is destroyed and the credibility of the bureau is the lowest since Hoover’s shenanigans.

Well.

A few weeks ago everyone was telling me the the FBI director was an impeccable, 'just the facts ma'am' kinda guy. Not corruptible.

Not exactly true - many on this site would now say.

I ALSO heard that - if Comey did NOT recommend prosecution - that many, many FBI agents would leak some of the embarrassing and unlawful acts they uncovered in the course of their year-long investigation. I believe the number of agents bandied about that were investigating was rumored to be about 150.

Well.

I could have missed it, but I haven't heard of EVEN ONE agent - even anonymously - being credited with a plausible leak.

Well. Time for Trump to clean house at the FBI. We don't appear to have one patriot on the payroll there.

No one releases important documents to a team/review on the afternoon of a long awaited 3-day weekend and expects anyone to give it ANY attention.

It doesn’t happen in corporate offices and it only happens in government when there is something to hide.

To me, this signals that Comey is facing a revolt among the rank and file active and retired FBI regarding his and Lynch’s cover-up and protection of Hillary. If he’s meeting with field offices around the country, this shows people working for the FBI are pissed about what is (not) going on, especially with the overwhelming evidence of guilt.

Comey turned the FBI into the bandidos in Treasure of the Sierra Madre...
