Because his job was to let people get away with criminal activity if their poll numbers are good.
Pinning it on polls. Snort. This is a modified limited hangout. He’d rather blame the polls than have you look for the people holding his leash.
Before Obama, FBI, etc., used to at least pretend to be ‘Fair and Balanced.
I thought it was the Russkies?
I have a couple of comments:
* I’m pleased that he has succeeded in exposing how corrupt he is, and that some in both swamp parties have come to despise and distrust him. He deserves it.
* F*** the polls! They should have absolutely no bearing on law enforcement issues. Comey has disgraced himself and the FBI.
Comey is an unprofessional idiot. Should be in jail.
I believe that “Comey” is Welsh for “hubris.”
I always thought that the reason that Comey reopened the “investigation” was to try to quell the on-going suspicions about Hillary’s use of personal (not government) computers to pass around classified information. I think his calculus was that by bringing the email issue front and center, and then publicly exonerating her just ahead of the election, he could boost her chances at winning. Of course, he was not taking into consideration the members of the general public who have experience with classified information and who know the proper ways to safeguard it.
Comey May have believed the polls, or that the fix was in.
However, he would not have announced the reopening of any investigation into Clinton without the permission from the Clinton crime family.
I think they all thought the fix was in, and comey, while continuing to cover up , would plausibly be seen as independent- based on this move.
They did not account for adm Rogers- and Soros servers being aced out.
And it’s the same reason Bronco Bama, Lynch,Yates, Comey and McCabe conspired to cover up and excuse Hillary’s repeated felonies in the Server, emails and destruction of evidence earlier that year
So... what polls was he reading when months earlier he started drafting the memo that exonerated her.... before she was interviewed?
A Higher Loyalty? Yeah, above all he is loyal to himself.
He was playing Pontius Pilate, letting the crowd decide between Barrabas and Jesus.
The most astonishing parts of Comey’s public proclamations illustrate his utter stupidity in what he admits. The press hails him as “the greatest lawman since Elliott Ness”, yet he admits to sophomoric such motives as this. It’s like he is too stupid to recognize that what he says publically exposes his lack of intellect. He makes Wiley E. Coyote look effective in comparison.
What Hillary and her supporters are really saying is that she would have won if Comey had not reneged on his duty to let her off the hook a second time as he had done in July 2016. If she hadn’t done the crime there would have been no reason for him to influence the election. She thought the fix was in but Comey backed out of it. It’s like saying she was caught speeding but paid off the cop, only to have him stop her again before she was home.
