Hallelujah and amen!

He didn't make bad choices. He made carefully thought out choices and they accomplished their intended goal.

(10,500 posts)Are you saying that you think James Comey's actions will be vindicated?
Because I think he was more damaging than anyone or anything else. By far.

(6,143 posts)Comey tried to get out ahead of it, because in the even of a Clinton victory, he would have been accused of withholding evidence, etc. It was CYA on his part, but not a conspiracy to get Trump elected.
I guarantee you if Clinton had won, we would be undergoing endless Email hearings right now.
StevieM
(10,500 posts)Sending the letter was not an option for him. He did the wrong thing.
Comey is the one who let the FBI field offices become so partisan to begin with.
And Comey is the one who held that bogus press conference in July which convinced people she was guilty of something.

(3,194 posts)So all this Russian stuff meant nothing, and the Russians were just prepared to let him lose?
Perhaps Comey was in cahoots with the Russians.
StevieM
(10,500 posts)Which is pretty impressive given how much damage he did with his illegitimate press conference in July.

StevieM
(10,500 posts)And I totally reject placing WI, MI and PA as the only three major swing states. HRC was also well on her way to victory in FL, NC and AZ. She was also competitive, and often leading, in IA and OH.
Comey didn't "tip" the election--he turned it totally upside down.
