There’s no sense in that. Comey torpedoed Hillary twice. He could have just stonewalled and kept his mouth shut. Believe me I’m no sympathiser, but this story just makes no sense at all.
That’s why it was the stupidest things ever done. Perhaps Hillary thought it would be good strategy to let Comey ‘clear’ her some months before the election, but then why revisit it 2 weeks prior to election?
The only thing that would fit is Comey has a very big EGO. Huge. Biggly.
The fix was in for Hillary. She was cleared before the so called investigation. Now, he blames Trump? He made the mistake. The voters elected Trump. The media now throws the finger to the voters and Trump. Comey promotes the same old
song. He is pandering to the media and public for sympathy.
They are paying him for a useless book!
Alternatively, Comey could be an idiot. (An idiot with a planet-size ego, but an idiot nevertheless.)
Rarely do subordinates ask their boss: "WTF are you THINKING????" It tends to work against career longevity in business, never mind in government.
You are leaving out a simmering story right before that second review.
That Carlos Dangerous, online pedo name of Anthony Wiener, had his laptop he used to contact underage girls filled with Clinton emails his wife stored on it. As I remember, so NYC cops and lower staff but still honest FBI agents were threatening to go public.
The news had leaked out and the bleeding over it had to be stopped. A stupid way to do, from the perspective of a tighter race than all of the drivebys would ever admit to, but that is why.
Perhaps Hillary thought it would be good strategy to let Comey ‘clear’ her some months before the election, but then why revisit it 2 weeks prior to election?
Caller into Rush the other day posed that theory, and Rush gave her an A for her summary. On the 2 weeks side it was to cement the deal and in normal weasel land know that something would come out, so put it out and then quickly end it...
Only this time it didn’t work...
