Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid said FBI Director James Comey may have violated a federal law when he disclosed, less than two weeks before the presidential election, that his office was pursuing potential new evidence related to Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server as secretary of state.
Mr. Reid was preparing to send a letter to Mr. Comey on Sunday saying he appears to be aiding one political party over another. He said that may violate the Hatch Act, which bars government officials from using their position to influence an election.
“I am writing to inform you that my office has determined that these actions may violate the Hatch Act,” the Senate minority leader wrote, according to a draft of the letter provided to The Wall Street Journal. “Through your partisan actions, you may have broken the law.”

If I can find the full letter, I'll follow up with a link.
Time to get on that tread mill old man and finish the job, you better hope your not involved
Here’s hoping that mortician-looking Reid is next on the list!
The FBI needs to release all they have this week. She what they got, take Hillary down.
See how Dems will fight to the death.
Harry Reid needs to have another treadmill accident and soon.
Yep. And if anybody knows about violating federal laws...it’s Harry.
Broke laws, really? What laws? Are there any more that actually are enforced, especially against the Clinton’s over the past 40 years? The hypocrisy is so off the charts it can’t be measured. Go to jail and hold Bill and Hil’s hands, they’ll need it.
Did Reid object when Comey made the partisan decision in July?
“... the Hatch Act, which bars government officials from using their position to influence an election.”
Wouldn’t that include Obama, Biden and all her other government surrogates on the campaign trail?
Cap Weinberger
Ya - but compare that the eGOP.
By this time, Ryan and McConnell would have insisted that their party’s candidate not only co-operate, but apologize. Harry is unethical - but he fights for his party - playing the big picture
It was not a blog-pimp post.
Partisan. WHAT REPUBLICAN ADMIN DOES HE WORK FOR?
It was partisan to drop the chages in the first place... Not like she is not violating election law by being a classified intel felon running for office...
If anyone is trying to use their position to influence an election it’s you, Reid. Comey is doing his job, YOU don’t want him to do it because YOU want to influence the election, YOU want your candidate’s criminality excused!
Reid, you and the rest of your party are fools to have nominated a person with legal liabilities.
.
The FBI needs to just let NYPD bring Hitlery down.
Comey is trying to protect her.
NYPD has the evidence to put Hill and Bill away for life.
.
STFU Harry Roid.
I’m hoping and prayIng Mr. Assange has a few emails with your name all over them.
GO TO HELL YOU POS!
