Democrats turn against FBI director, accuse him of meddling in election
The Washington Times ^ | October 30, 2016 | Valerie Richardson, Stephen Dinan

Months after they declared James B. Comey an honest arbiter, Democrats are now mounting a full assault on the FBI director, accusing him of inappropriate meddling in the presidential election after he notified Congress last week that he has renewed an investigation into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s secret email server.

The revelation, which Mr. Comey made in a letter Friday, may already be hurting Mrs. Clinton’s presidential campaign. At least two daily tracking polls — the ABC News/Washington Post and IBD/TIPP surveys — found Republican Donald Trump surging to within 1 or 2 percentage points of Mrs. Clinton, though the Democrat maintained her lead.

Mrs. Clinton’s top campaign advisers insisted this weekend that they still saw enthusiasm for their candidate and said volunteers and voters may be even more eager to help after Mr. Comey’s move. But that didn’t stop them from seething from his decision.

“To throw this in the middle of a campaign 11 days out just seems to break with precedent and be inappropriate at this stage,” Clinton campaign manager John Podesta said on CNN’s “State of the Union” program.

Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, Nevada Democrat, wrote a letter to Mr. Comey saying he may have broken the law by informing Congress of new emails his agents found and believe could be relevant to the investigation. Mr. Reid said it appeared the FBI director, who just a few months ago had saved Mrs. Clinton’s campaign, now potentially violated laws that he said bar the FBI from trying to influence an election.

This could get interesting if the dems go after Comey. It’s on page one of the Official Rulebook for Nefarious Criminal Conspiracies: “don’t burn the guy who knows where the bodies are buried.”

It must have been some very serious stuff in those emails for him to do this.

And the RATS hands are absolutely pristine, devoid of any evidence whatsoever of meddling in any election. I just vomited.

They were praising Comey not long ago. Relax, Democrats. Trump was going to win even before this.

Only a Rat would see reopening a criminal investigation against one of the most corrupt people ever as “meddling”.

You watch. They'll run the exact same playbook against him as they ran against Ken Starr and DJT.

They'll play up the Weiner sex angle, and claim that Comey is some kind of pervert.

I bet they're looking for women (or men) who will say Comey molested them right now.

You’re absolutely right, but then Rats only think Republicans are corrupt.

After all these years their schtick is getting really old.

Hey Democrats: You nominated someone with legal baggage. What did you think would happen? Her liabilities would just go away?

You were foolish to nominate her. Don’t complain now IT’S YOUR OWN FAULT.

SHE is the one who did the illegal activity, not them.

Them exposing it is NOT interfering with the election.

Sheesh, I am so sick of the blame shifting.
