Harry Reid: Comey may have violated the Hatch Act
CNN ^ | October 31, 2016 | Caroline Kenny

Posted on 10/31/2016 7:48:02 AM PDT by detective

Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid said on Sunday that FBI Director James Comey may have violated the Hatch Act, barring political activity by federal employees, through a late election season letter to Congress about the scope of the bureau's probe of Hillary Clinton's private email service as secretary of state. Comey's letter on Friday to congressional committee chairs said the FBI is reviewing newly discovered emails that might be linked to Clinton's private server. The new emails were found several weeks ago, law enforcement officials told CNN Sunday, but the FBI did not disclose them until Friday. The timing raises questions about why the information was released just days before the election.

This is just the tip of the iceberg.

No reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case.

Unlike what Mr. Reid did in saying Romney never paid taxes, right?

Right.

They don’t want their corrupt candidate exposed, so it’s suddenly “political activity.”

This is a vile little person (I cannot proffer the word “man” here...) who should spend every waking hour being thankful that he is not continuously shackled in matching chrome wrist and ankle bracelets for his multiple felonies.

But, there’s hope...!

Too little to late. If someone big dies mysteriously we will know the gig is up.

Ruh ruh: posted to FR earlier; source article:
Also on Sunday, New York Times bestseller Ed Klein wrote in an article for DailyMail.com that Comey's decision to revive the investigation of Clinton's email server came after he could no longer resist mounting pressure by mutinous agents in the FBI, including some of his top deputies, according to a source close to the embattled FBI director.

'The atmosphere at the FBI has been toxic ever since Jim announced last July that he wouldn't recommend an indictment against Hillary,'...'Some people, including department heads, stopped talking to Jim, and even ignored his greetings when they passed him in the hall,' said the source. 'They felt that he betrayed them and brought disgrace on the bureau by letting Hillary off with a slap on the wrist.'

According to the source, Comey fretted over the problem for months...

He [Comey] told his wife that he was depressed by the stack of resignation letters piling up on his desk from disaffected agents. The letters reminded him every day that morale in the FBI had hit rock bottom.

Apparently Harry Reid is the designated liar for the RATs this week. He also apparently said the FBI is hiding “explosive” information about Trump’s connection to the Russians.
