Clinton allows Russia to obtain US uranium and Clinton Foundation receives money.

^It is also arguable that the very recent, and ongoing pattern of disclosures instigated by James Comey evidences his support for a Trump presidency.

Such revelations are circumstantial not direct proof of Comey's partiality to a Trump presidency.

The repetition of Comey's interventions in the presidential contest might well be evidence of Comey's undoubted support for Trump.

Speculation is a wonderful tool when used to demonstrate how a senior public official, such as James Comey can influence public opinion.

A prosecutor familiar with a candidate's corruption would, of course, supprt her opponent. He could hardly be expected to support the corrupt candidate, and he would try, to the extent of his ability, to expose the corruption. To do otherwise would be to condone if not become an accomplice in the corruption. He must assume that her corruption will continue and accelorate if she is elected. If he does not speak out, is he not a party to the corruption?

Were corruption the matter under discussion, then it would be much more persuasive were Trump exposed, by James Comey.

One can only speculate why Comey has chosen to be so "open" and "timely" with his "revelations" on HRC.

Corruption is the matter under discussion. Notice the title. Comey says that he only learned of the additional emails days before his letter. Waiting would run the risk of allowing her to be elected with the people being willfully kept ignorant by the FBI.

^Partisanship might well be the overwhelming theme being discussed here when understanding that James Comey has timed his "revelations" at an opportune moment to influence the presidential contest.

No prizes for guessing why Comey has been so forthcoming.

You are assuming that he is lying when he says that he learned of the email only days before his letter. Do you think he should not have revealed them prior to the election? Is not your opinion a result of your own partisan preference?

 

[gsdx]

Do you think he should not have revealed them prior to the election?

It's no secret that he might have broken the law by doing so. You may be defending a criminal. But then, you defend Trump, too, who was once bed-buddies with the Mafia.

I have repeatedly said I don't like Trump. If he was cozy with the Mafia I don't like it any better than I liked Joe Kennedy's recruiting of the mafia to foist Jack on our country. I do not believe Comey broke any law. No one claims that Comey broke the law by testifying before Congress, so his supplementing it with additional information was legal as well.

 

[nsguy2]

Comey knew exactly what he was doing last Friday and full well what the fall out could be - as well as the potential affect on the outcome of the election.

My prediction is he tenders his resignation on November 9th.

Has Comey been paid off, or more likely, has he been promised a very cosy and well-paid position for the rest of his career?

Corruption comes in many forms, and the stakes are extremely high.

Of course he knew that. But he also knew that hiding it from the public would have the same impact; he correctly chose transparency.

 

[nsguy2]

His actions did nothing to increase transparency around Clinton's emails. They serve only as a platform for Trump to spit more innuendo and a springboard for launching further lies and wild accusations.

The prudent move wouldn't have been to keep his mouth shut if didn't have concrete evidence against the candidate.

What's he been doing to increase transparency around the charges he's facing for running a bogus university?
Or those rape claims?

Poor Ben can't understand the difference between transparency and exploiting rumours.

Remember, Comey did not make it public;he wrote a letter to some members of Congress.

Let us face facts. If Trump wins we will lose. If he loses I have great doubts about these hate mongering white racist nut cases who are ready to start a civil war. Trump has let the hate door open and it is flooding all around us. It is pretty fucking scary. And for the FBI to deny it was politically motivated to announce they have more emails when they don't even know what is in them. I smell BS from here.

Wasn't Ben just talking about her being 'evil' today. Joke.

 

[evanrick]

That's so confusing. Putin is supposed to be backing Trump. Why did he switch horses? If Hillary has been his shill for all this time, what went wrong? What does he have to gain by now manipulating the internationally naive Trump?

This is all so much like a soap opera. If it weren't for you, we'd never know what evil hands pull the levers of power in our land. Thank you so much for enabling us to all see the truth.

Whatever shall we do? Whatever shall we do? Auntie Em!!

Hillary isnt internationally naive?

Bernie said he has bad judgement, her own campaign manager says she has bad instincts, and Barack Obama said she will say anything and do nothing.

Theres enough people who say they support Hillary but have plenty of bad things to say about her, who are we to believe that Hillary is not naive about foreign policy? She as a record of failure, Am i Correct?
