Paul Krugman: FBI 'rigged' election
washintonexaminer.com ^ | 11/7/16 | Eddie Scarry

Liberal New York Times columnist Paul Krugman accused the FBI and its director, James Comey, of fixing the election in favor of Republican Donald Trump.

In an op-ed published Monday morning, Krugman echoed a familiar line from Trump, who regularly says the election is "rigged" against outsider candidates, but he said it's Democrat Hillary Clinton who has the disadvantage.

"The election was rigged by James Comey, the director of the F.B.I. His job is to police crime — but instead he used his position to spread innuendo and influence the election," he wrote. "Was he deliberately putting a thumb on the electoral scales, or was he simply bullied b

The net effect of the actions of the FBI have been overwhelmingly positive for Clinton - anyone else would already be behind bars.

Does liberalism cause these types of delusions, or are they symptomatic of some sort of delusional disorder?

I was going to say, I hope this means they don’t have a good feeling about Hillary’s chances today.

Still waiting . . .

The Slimes real polls and focus groups must be really bad for Criminal Clinton, for Krugman to make this early excuse for Criminal Clinton's loss to Trump!

'Today is our Independence Day!' Trump urges voters to 'close the books on the Clintons'

The verdict of Hillary’s jury will be announced Tuesday evening.

Note to Paulie: Had Illary not been known as a thief, liar, crook, swindler and otherwise ill temperament no one would have believed a thing Comey had to say regarding Illegal behavior.

Given that America has viewed her activities for the Past 30 years starting with being fired from the Watergate Committee for unethical behavior she has a problem doesn’t she?

He sounds nervous, but so am I.

Comey was put in a “no win” situation. He likely assumed leaks would come out so he got in front of the story. He also knew that he had pledged to tell congress if new information was discovered.

He had to say something.

The fault is not with Comey. It is with the person who created the illegal system designed to hide government records from the light of day - Clinton.

With that said, Comey’s statement that there was “no intent” looks more absurd every day. The investigation was a farce as FBI was not given, or did they demand, the tools necessary to conduct a thorough investigation and access to a Grand Jury. That could have been done over a year ago minimizing any direct impact on the election.

Comey could not win this from day 1 - it was a disaster created by Clinton and as usual with the Clinton’s there is a list of people left under the bus. Comey will probably resign to try and take some of the heat off of the FBI, but it won’t work. The FBI is now under the bus too.

The irony to me is that the nations top law enforcement officer, Loretta Lynch, will survive and thrive if Hillary wins after she refused to do her job and got caught (yes, she got caught by one reporter) meeting with Bill.
