Republicans immediately consumed with gusto Fridays news that FBI Director James Comey sent a letter to Congressional leaders informing them that his agency was reviewing new information relating to the Hillary Clinton email case. They gleefully declared that the FBI had reopened the email investigation. While this is a misleading exaggeration of Comeys admittedly vague letter, the political use that GOP partisans have made of it illustrates why public releases of information relating to pending investigations of public figures up for election have traditionally been withheld.

addendum to my post 40:
Why would anyone want to associate pathological lying and Hillary Clinton?
For more than an hour as of approximately 11:50 p.m. Sunday, a Google search for the terms pathological lying was producing a picture of Mrs. Clinton.
yeah there is an unwritten and written policy that crooks will be indicted...what happened to that?
I don’t want to hear a word about their unspoken POLICY.
These evil, corrupt cretins have broken LAWS, trashed our CONSTITUTION, and committed blatant ESPIONAGE & TREASON !!!!!!
Yet Comey came out and publicly announced that he wasn't going to refer the Clinton e-mail case for criminal prosecution within 6 months of the election. I don't remember the author writing any letters objecting to that.
Emergency! Everybody to get from street!!
Well it appears that Huma has gotten from street! LOL
This author is part of the problem.
Releasing information shortly before an election regarding a criminal investigation is certainly not “unprecedented”:
The probe into Iran Contra was released 4 days before the HW Bush election...
Tendentious BS from a Leftist rag.
And why was the FBI given the authority to make this decision ... ?
Lynch protected Hillary by not empaneling a Grand Jury to look into the obvious claims that Hillary used a private server for all State Department business, and you cannot do that job at all without using classified information. No GJ, no subpoenas — crippled investigation.
When it leaked that there was an investigation anyhow, she felt the cross hairs coming for her.
Here is a conspiracy theory for you: Loretta is a very smart woman, and came up with a brilliant plan to get out from under. She engineered the meeting with Bill Clinton at the airport, and engineered a small town reporter disclosing it -— an indisputable appearance of impropriety. When the predictable firestorm of criticism erupted, she publically passed the steaming bowl of **** to Comey. I believe the smile on her face today is one of schadenfreude.
Thus we call them the Excremento Bee.
