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.

Comey with his close ties to the Clinton Foundation is as corrupt as those two grifters Bill and Hillary.

“Those suggesting that we are “political” or part of some “fix” either don’t know us, or they are full of baloney (and maybe some of both). “

I’ll take BOTH for $1,000 Alex! The eltire FBI is a sham! If it isn’t, and there are decent people working there, why are they not now offering their resignations in disgust?

I explain to our alums that I’m okay if folks have a different view of the investigation (although I struggle to see how they actually could, especially when they didn’t do the investigation), or about the wisdom of announcing it as we did (although even with hindsight I think that was the best course), but I have no patience for suggestions that we conducted ourselves as anything but what we are - honest, competent, and independent. Those suggesting that we are “political” or part of some “fix” either don’t know us, or they are full of baloney (and maybe some of both).

Look A - Hole, it’s the perception stupid!

Millions of Americans “perceive” you as devious, dishonest and a pal of the Clintons ergo WHAT YOU DID STINKS! You should have quit! Your rotten to the core.

Any reasonable FBI Director would have recommended prosecution.

Unless the FBI Director knows that Hillary’s hit team is very professional.

Hussein Obama has endorsed Hillary for President.

Secretary of State and FBI Directors don't do HUGE things without Presidential oversight. Now WHY would Hussein Obama want Hillary to be POTUS?

One of Hillary's promises is to flood the US with FIVE TIMES more Muslims as Hussein himself has let in. Because Hussein is America's FIRST Muslim President, it is clear why he wants Muslims to flood the west. Because the Muslims can't compete with the west on the battlefield, the only way to defeat the west is to overload the population with Muslims.

Flash forward to this summer. Hussein has Hillary where he wants her. Jail for Bill and Hillary or: Be even more pro-Muslim including this list of Hussein goals that you don't even suspect yet. Hussein calls the AG and FBI Director and says there will be no indictment.

Hussein gets his pro Muslim invasion to continue, Hillary stays out of jail. And what are YOU going to do about it? NOTHING.

A dear friend of mine (though a lawyer!)worked at DOJ with Ashcroft. He is appalled by Comey and tells me that he is not alone.

Many questions remain.

So among other things Cheryl Mills and Huma Abedin lied to the FBI when they said they did not know Hillary was using a private server.

No case??? IT guy is given immunity (for what?, disappears from public view, and no one is prosecuted. Really.

I think that WikiLeaks is about to make Comey look even worse than he does now.

Imagine a Politically Weaponized FBI in Clinton’s Hands
Agents actively avoided catching Hillary lying and didn’t want the media to catch her either

by Eddie Zipperer | Updated 08 Sep 2016 at 10:09

..............

Imagining a politicized FBI ready to do the bidding of another President Clinton is scarier than a stack of Stephen King books. Here are three signs the FBI is already putting politics before justice for Clinton:

1) The FBI tried not to catch Hillary in a lie.
If you’re ever the target of a criminal investigation, don’t bank on law enforcement believing whatever everything you tell them — unless you’re a Clinton.

The narrative Hillary sold the FBI holds water about as well as a slice of swiss cheese. She told them she thought a bracketed “C” was “referencing paragraphs marked in alphabetical order” which would make perfect sense if it weren’t for the total absence of A, B, and D-Z.

Julian Assange blew this nonsense out of the water on Sean Hannity’s show last night, saying Wikileaks has released “thousands of examples, where she [Clinton], herself, has used a c in brackets, and signed it off, and more than 22,000 times that she has received cables from others with this c in brackets. So, it’s absolutely incredible for Clinton to lie. She is lying about not knowing what that is.”

Not only did the FBI try not to catch her in a lie, they didn’t want the media to catch her in one either. Why else is there no transcript or recording of her FBI interview? Comey said he wanted to treat her like anyone else — so where’s the recording? Everyone else’s interview was recorded.

Now, all the media can do is wonder what exactly she said to the FBI special agents. One thing’s for sure, if she told them any of the nonsense she’s been telling us about her emails all year, she likely committed a felony or two.

2) Does Obama have ESP?
It was almost like President Obama somehow knew how this would all turn out.

When Comey delivered his “non-indictment indictment” of Hillary Clinton, he stated, “I have not coordinated or reviewed this statement in any way with the Department of Justice or any other part of the government.” That seemed questionable given that at the same moment, Hillary Clinton was aboard Air Force One with President Obama about to make a triumphant, I’m-not-going-to-jail landing in North Carolina. Would President Obama be plane-pooling with someone if he thought there was a chance she might be indicted for mishandling classified information?

In June, when President Obama decided to endorse Hillary Clinton for president — even though she was under criminal investigation — did that not send a message to the FBI regarding how he’d like to see the case decided?

What if the president had endorsed a candidate who turned out to be a criminal?

There’s no question that the president would have wound up looking supremely ridiculous if Hillary had been indicted.

He sure got lucky.

3) The FBI uses holidays as human shields.
Remember when the FBI interrog- er, I mean, “interviewed” Hillary Clinton? It was the Saturday morning of July 4 weekend. Americans were on boats, at fireworks stores, prepping for cookouts, and engaging in other holiday weekend activities. Nobody was paying attention. News shows were stuck with backups to the backup hosts covering gigantic election news for only a tiny slice of the people who would normally be paying attention.

Then, Comey announced two days later there would be no charges. They must have done a real deep analysis of the answers she gave.

Jump cut to last weekend where the FBI used another holiday as a human shield. This time it was Labor Day watering down the news from the FBI’s data dump. Even House Speaker Paul Ryan was floored by how political the move seemed, saying, “I can’t believe that they would do what is such a patently political move.”

Nothing is scarier than government institutions serving political agendas, but it seems to be a core principle of progressive leadership. Are #NeverTrump Republicans really so obsessed with philosophical purity that they’ll allow Hillary Clinton to become president and continue to the politicization of our bureaucracy? What if voting against Trump means an America where we can’t see where the FBI ends and the Clinton Foundation begins?
