So, Comey had a press conference today. Officially Hillary is under Investigation by the FBI

When specifically asked if the FBI was performing a security review (as Hil Fans like to call it), he said he didn't even know what that was. He said the FBI Investigates, the term is in their name.

When asked if it was a criminal investigation, his response "No Comment". If it wasn't criminal, there would be an easy and forthcoming answer to this.

This is serious folks.

When has a candidate for a party nominee ever been under investigation by the FBI?

This is not nothing as the Hil Fans would like to believe.

It's time for Hil to bow out gracefully before she has to do it in disgrace.

There is a second viable candidate after all . . . who is beating Trump by more than Hillary in recent polling.

I get the sentiment, but there are people out there that will not vote for a politician as corrupt as Hillary, no matter the opposition. For many, she is the lowest of lows. You can be liberal, even a Democrat, and refuse to vote for Hillary out of principle. I absolutely would not look down upon someone for doing that. Voting for Trump I struggle with, but simply abstaining I can support.

running against Hillary. No indictment, indictment, it doesn't matter, he needs her to stay in the race to have any shot at it. His only chance is running against someone that is disliked just as much as he is.

inuendos and investigations from people who have policing and judicial power. Hillary is under the gun and Trump has a lawsuit regarding his theft and fraud delayed until after the election. The judge said it would "color" people's judgement about Trump. I think there is a possibility the judge was "bought off" by Trump. I don't think Drumpf is above bribery. He admits to buying people off before. He is a narcissistic psychopath who is proud to boast about buying politicians. I do think he is above buying a judge. Just my opinion. Not a fact. But very suspicious.
