So be it...and he may have had something to do with turning a lot voters against her, but his actions have always been selfish.
I think he thought at the time, that he was going to be caught out and figured he'd p-off as many as he could while he was sinking.
Since he was not particularly blamed for outright wrongdoing (he should have been then and should be now), he recovered somewhat and decided to do what he could to annoy Trump.
Bottom line...the man is a worthless ass and should never have been elevated to the position he was and should not ever have been retained by Trump...for any length of time.
But the worm is turning...
Comey finally got around to announcing that classified info was on Carlos Danger’s laptop after sitting on it for a month. He wouldn’t have announced it until after the election if he hadn’t thought Clinton was so far ahead that it wouldn’t matter. Comey knew the NYPD would eventually let the facts slip. He thought he keep the fix in for Clinton and provide himself some wiggle room by releasing then white washing the facts.
I agree. He knew the risk of being caught was great but Hillary possibly getting impeached was also large. McCabe knew of the new Weiner emails from Sept 28, and it was loaded, and they sat on it until Oct 28. This was exploding in their faces and Comey must have realized, one slip and they will try to impeach Hillary after her obvious victory. Republicans did have congress.
Understanding all this, Comey’s Oct 28 actions served to white wash Hillary’s sins, but of course they didn’t. Yet it now was “exposed” and Comey disingenuously verified that were no bad emails, so a potential landmine was disarmed. There would be no toxic leakage after the election. Comey never thought it could jeopardize her victory since Trump was going to lose in a landslide. But then she lost, and Trump won, and the bodies are floating up from the bottom of the lake.
